Sin City

At the beginning of the second semester i was given a project to make film stills photographs as they were from a movie. I had to choose a film genre to start with and then produce six images that would relate to my chosen genre, so i picked film noir. The reason i chose it was because it included the film Sin City (2005) which had an intrusion of single colour in the shots which i thought would be useful to make viewers pay attention to some details. 

During the project i have learnt how to organise a photoshoot, and how to add certain photoshop effects, the purpose was also to learn how to operate the lights and how they can bring importance and mood to an image. I did not have a lot of influences on this project but i did relate a little to Sarah Moon who uses sctraches and blurs in her images. Most of the influences came from the movie itself.
