With the designs done, I now have started planning what props and actors I will need for the shoot.
I hope to be taking photos for my graphics this coming Friday.
I am going ahead with The Walking Dead style theme and therefore need an actor to play the protagonist, Rick from the TV show. After consulting with many actors, I have decided to use Thomas Ashwell as he has played the part before and is a good actor.
I will also have to travel to location to get background shots that will set the scene for the background. I will be going to Norland Moors to get atmospheric shots that will portray the drama and horror genre.
One problem I came across was that I found that there isn't an accessible prison near by for me to shoot. This means that I've had to change my background slightly instead to just a field with a prison tower in a corner. Its at Norland Moors that I plan to get these location shots.
I plan to create the tower in Photoshop using tracing skills and fill effects to create a realistic looking prison tower.
In order to put my Actor in front of the location shot and Prison Tower, I will be taking his photo in front of a green screen. This will allow me to key out the green screen and replace it with the setting shot and the Prison Tower.
I will be using the same shots for the magazine poster but ill also be adding barbed wire. This will be created through modelling wire.
