IMAGE MANIPULATION

I used the software Adobe Photoshop to edit this image. I decided to lower the colour saturation and brightness, but increase the brightness. I felt that this gave the image a darker, creepier feeling which would be helpful for a prison. Making the prison shot darker can connote the foreboding sense of darkness inside of Davina. Through colour grading on iMovie, I think it would be simple enough to edit the colour on our film footage.

For this image, I only manipulated the brightness and contrast. I lowered the brightness to increase the shadow feeling, as though Amelia is being followed. I increased the contrast to make the features of this image stand out, especially the building and the sky to create a feeling of intensity.

For this settings photo, I edited the colour temperature, colour saturation and the contrast. I decreased the colour temperature to give the image a blue tint, but not so much that the blue overpowers the grey colour of the image. I increased the colour saturation to make the features of the photo appear a more tin-like colour and it became a darker grey, which is the typical colour of a prison. I manipulated the image quite a lot to increase the lighting on the buildings and it also made the steel colour stand out more than just adjusting the colour saturation.
