- 1. Evaluation Unit 07. & 34.
- 2. Image 1 Image’s Original Purpose Poster Visual Codes Used • Narrative; The poster shows that the sweet bag on my poster has a very important role in the film. • Contrast; The bag is very bright and colourful against the plain white background. Technical Codes Used • Production techniques; I used a set of studio lights to brighten up the so I could brighten up the photo. • I used a Canon DSLR camera to take the photo, and put it in the manual setting.

- 3. Image 1 Critical reflection of the image’s ability to realise purpose • The image is a poster and the bag is meant to represent the bag that our main character will be stealing the sweets from in the film. I think it leaves an open mind into what the film could be about. Critical reflection of the image’s quality of execution • I used photoshop to brighten out some of the colours and remove some text that was on it. I think I managed to make it look as less obvious as possible. Image Here
- 4. Image 2 Image’s Original Purpose Context; Show the full body & potential wardrobe of the main character. Visual Codes Used • Contrast; My body is highlighted and stands out against the plain white background. • Subtlety of dominant point; My chest is the strongest point in the image. Technical Codes Used • Technology; I used the studio lights to light up my body and a DSLR camera to take the photo. Image Here
- 5. Image 2 Critical reflection of the image’s ability to realise purpose • I think the image does a good job of showing what the character will be wearing in the film. Critical reflection of the image’s quality of execution • The image is in sharp quality and all the colours of my clothes are saturated very nicely. • I’m not sure if I needed to add the vignette to the edges of the photo, it seems to add a sort of darkness to it. Image Here
- 6. Image 3 Image’s Original Purpose Show the full body & potential wardrobe of the main character from behind. Visual Codes Used • Contrast; My body, while still saturated is somewhat darker on my back-side than the front. Technical Codes Used • Production techniques; I turned down the studio lights ever so slightly to see if it wouldn’t come out as bright. Image Here
- 7. Image 3 Critical reflection of the image’s ability to realise purpose • Like the previous image I think this one does a decent job at showing what my outfit will look like when it comes to shooting the film. • Original intentions; it was originally intended to show what my outfit might look like from behind Critical reflection of the image’s quality of execution • Post-production; The image has come out almost looking like it has a filter on it, my blue jeans look as if they have a hint of green to them. Image Here
- 8. Image 4 Image’s Original Purpose Context; Actor headshot Visual Codes Used • Contrast; the image really brings out the redness on my fellow actors face and the yellow in his hair. Technical Codes Used • Technology; I set up the DSLR in front of my actor and brightened up the lights to make the image appear bolder. Image Here
- 9. Image 4 Critical reflection of the image’s ability to realise purpose • Brief; I needed a headshot for my actor and I think I have successfully take a good one that meets the little standards I required. Critical reflection of the image’s quality of execution • Post-production; I think the image looks very bold and brings out all the colours that are present in a very bright way. However I don’t think the vignette around the edges of the image is necessary, it doesn’t seem to match the bright colour scheme the image has. Image Here
- 10. Image 5 Image’s Original Purpose Context; Actor full body shot. Visual Codes Used • Contrast; the photo looks really sharp and brightly contrasted. Technical Codes Used • Technology; I to capture the full body I simply turned the camera on its side, I also used the DSLR and studio lights. Image Here
- 11. Image 5 Critical reflection of the image’s ability to realise purpose • Original intentions; I wanted to show the potential outfit for my actors character. However I don’t think it’s entirely spot on. Critical reflection of the image’s quality of execution • Quality; The image comes out both bold and sharp at the same time, I like the way it came out. Image Here
- 12. Image 6 Image’s Original Purpose Context; Poster Visual Codes Used • Narrative; This shows my character in the reflection of the computer screen wanting to get a sweet from the boy on the left. • Contrast; there is a highlight of brightness on the computer screen to show my face. Technical Codes Used • Image construction; To create the we tilted the computer screen sideways to face half my direction/half facing my actors direction. • Technology; we used 2 torches to shine on my face to make my face more apparent on the photo. Image Here
- 13. Image 6 Critical reflection of the image’s ability to realise purpose • Original intentions; I wanted to show what the story of the film was about through the poster, and I think I have successfully done that. Critical reflection of the image’s quality of execution • Techniques; I think the lighting technique I used to brighten up my face had a really good final product. • Quality; The image seems to have a mix of brightness(within and around the centre) but not around the edges where it seems to have a dark vignette. Image Here
- 14. Image 7 Image’s Original Purpose Context; Screenshot of scene taking place in the film. Visual Codes Used • Narrative; The main character sees the boys with the sweets and is tempted to take one. • Subtlety of dominant point; although I tend to be the one in focus. Technical Codes Used • Image construction; I had the cameraman tilt the camera so the shot would look more creative. Image Here
- 15. Image 7 Critical reflection of the image’s ability to realise purpose • Original intentions; The image is meant to be a screenshot from one of the scenes in the film. Although we aren’t in our potential costumes I think this will be pretty accurate to what the final product looks like in the film. Critical reflection of the image’s quality of execution • Quality; I used photoshop to remove some of the spots on the back of my neck. I think it looks realistic and I have done a good job of making my skin look clear. Image Here
- 16. Image 8 Image’s Original Purpose Context; Main actor headshot Visual Codes Used • Contrast; I turned the contrast up to make my cheeks and the red on my face look brighter and bolder. Technical Codes Used • Technology; I gave someone the camera and told them to turn it on its side(portrait mode) and then told them to take the photo. I also turned up the lights to get the maximum brightness. Image Here
- 17. Image 8 Critical reflection of the image’s ability to realise purpose • Brief; I got the actor headshot of myself(the main character) that I needed. I think this would serve well as a professional actor headshot. Critical reflection of the image’s quality of execution • Post-production; I turned up the contrast in post as I did with the headshot of my fellow actor. I like how bright it is, even though I seem a bit pale and spots seem to stand out a bit. And, again, the vignette doesn’t seem to match the level of brightness the rest of the photo has. Image Here
