Image Manipulation
When we took our chosen image for our front cover we then wanted to manipulate it to create different effects with the image to help generate a more film noir feel but also to look better to fit with our magazine and also to fit with the rest of the products that we are creating so people can tell that they are part of a package.
This is the image that I took in New York which is our chosen image for our magazine background. We wanted to manipulate this image to create a blurred, dark and mysterious image which we came to when researching film magazines from another film noir front cover.
This is the image after we played around on photoshop and changed things. We added a blur to the image, to make the image distorted as we didn't want the image to be really clear yet we still wanted to be able to see that it's set in New York. Next we changed the levels, saturation and the brightness, we turned the brightness down a lot and changed the levels and saturation quite a bit.
We wanted a really dark scene, as we wanted it to look like night but also this connotes the danger that could be to follow within the film. The levels help create a great effect with the sky and it looks quite dramatic as the sky is dark but still quite light but then there are significant darker parts which work well.
