Feedback (26/01/16)

After shooting the first set of photographs, I wanted to present them to my tutors to give them the visual representation of what I wanted to do, and get their expertise on how I can push them to be there best.

First pointer is that in the first set of the 4, I should frame the shot with the door in. This will not only make the central point be both Arachne and Athena, but it will also add a level of depth and visual information.

I need to be careful with how the shadows are looking on the wall (mainly in the second shot). If they are too large and dark, it can just be a distraction rather than a creative choice. I really like the shadows as they add intensity and intimidating factor to the shots, however I could pull the characters slightly further away from the wall to make them smaller, or turn the flashes down so they are not so intense.

Because the legs didn’t work at all, I could use another method to give the audience the idea that Arachne has transformed. I can use synthetic spider web that I can stretch along the rough walls and floor around Arachne. This will help it to look as she has made this web around her.


Another way I can make the legs still happen is through Photoshop. Because I am using a tripod, this means that all my shots will be the same framing. This means that I can move Arachne (Kathryn) into different positions doing the pose; I can then merge the images to give her more legs. She will have a human look, however, spider features (8 legs).
