Photoshoot

In order to get relevant pictures for our auxiliary tasks we had to plan a photo-shoot for our protagonist - Rosie. This was a necessity because there were no still images in our production that were appropriate to use like there was for Layla. 

We had to plan another day that we were all free on and pick a location that had a black background to take our pictures. We also told Rosie to come dressed in black which hold negative connotations of horror and threatening. This subverts normal colours we'd associate with the victim, but reinforced the idea she is trapped. 
Not only this, but we had to bring props along, for example mascara as we had decided we wanted her face to be running with make-up as if she is crying. 

Although this might have been seen as over-dramatic, it still looked effective. We also as a consequence of this had to bring make-up remover so she could wipe this off. 
The make-up was easy to do and it was just black eye-make-up which connotes something threatening and dark. 

After we had completed her make-up, we could then go to take the photos for the shoot. 
There were some images that we didn't like, which as a consequence we chose not to use. This was for a range of reasons - either she was laughing, they were from an unusual angle or they didn't capture the correct emotion of scared and vulnerable that we wanted.

After spending time gathering a range of different shots, we had to wrap up and view the pictures taken on a big screen.

It didn't take long to decide on the image we eventually wanted to use as it was perfect and represented her exactly as how we wanted. 

The image above was the final image we used for our auxiliary tasks of the poster and magazine. We thought her hands represented her confusion and her face represented the pain and upset she felt. 

Overall, it was a successful photo-shoot, which consequently was reflected in our auxiliary tasks.
