From looking at previous magazine covers for inspiration we concluded that we wanted to use a strong image to get the readers attention. We used our lesson time on Friday 9th December to take the photo in the design and technology block against the black screen, which is reguarly used for photography. We thought that this would be an appropriate location because it will make Kira's (who plays Ruth) face stand out and create a strong contrasting affect. We set up the lighting and altered the height of the equipment so that when they were turned on, they shon upwards underneath kiras face, creating an eerie shadow. We took various closeups of Kiras face with a scary expression, by making sure her head was slightly tilted forwards and her hair was sweeping accross her face to achieve the creepy look.
For the costume, we stuck to the red dress that she wore in the trailer because it is a significant colour that viewers will be able to relate back to. We kept the make-up quite basic and just applyed face powder so that she appeared a bit paler and thus more ghost like. Overall it was as successful photoshoot and we look forward to editing and making the magazine poster!
