we also experimented with different blood patterns and different lighting, above are a couple of photos to show this. The first photo is taken from when we changed the lighting so it shone from different angles, in this particular image the lighting is directly in level with the card and is shining from the side, this has given all the raised areas exaggerated shadows and makes the blobls of blood on the card look very fake and like they have been put in by photoshop, we though this effect looked good but it was not what we wanted as we wanted the photo to like realistic and more older that computer generated. The second photo is a picture of one of our ideas for the blood pattern, as well as spraying the blood onto the card and paper we also thought that a hand print might be just as scary and have the same effect but when we did a test run with it we decided that spraying the blood and flicking it onto the paper looked better than the hand print as the hand print looked too purposly done.
This is a good sequence of work, James and shows the development of an idea very clearly. you show an attention to detail and some thought about your technique. check your notes - or look up on the net about the use of chiaroscuro and how lighting can affect an image.
ReplyDeleteI want to see more of your early notes transferred on to the blog though.
