Image Manipulation Process

From the photo shoot that I did with Charlie or 'Maverick', I edited the 22 that I kept and recorded the editing process using an application called Quick Time and then the video itself was edited using iMovie, speeding the video up 6000%.

A brief explanation of the editing process.

I opened the 22 selected photos and opened them in camera raw, where I then altered all of the elements on the right of the screen, such as the exposure, contrast, saturation, etc.

When I had finished altering the photographs in camera raw from the application Bridge, I then changed the file from JPEG to RAW, due to when I originally opened them in camera raw. Then once the 22 photographs were altered, I selected all of them and opened them in Photoshop.

I used the crop tool on some of the photos, so that the framing was more appropriate.

I applied a few quick adjustments to each of the photos, like auto tone, auto contrast and auto colour. This would just generally improve the quality of the image.

I altered the input and output levels on each of the individual photos.

I also used the spot removal tool on a few of the photos, to remove some parts of the image that I didn't want. A good example of this is that one of the strings on the guitar was broken, so I had to remove the loose string on several images.

Images Taken

Over the process of creating my media product, I overtook a total of 3 photo shoots, each with different models to appear in my music magazine. Each of the models that I used during the photo shoots, I would consider to appeal to my target audience and their ideologies rather effectively.
