photography evaluation write up hands

these are the depth of field shots, i tried 3 different types with them, with these photos i wanted to get no shots of the characters faces and just indistinguishable shots of their sides or body parts. Because by not showing the characters it shows that though the show is about them there is something bigger they are running/ hiding from.

this is the photo i chose for the top of the back of the dvd box, in the end i used the shot of the hands because it allowed me more freedom to edit in photoshop. The photo by itself doesn't tell much of a story by itself but after the editing process it was much better, of all the different shot types i tried, this was my favorite because it was less generic than the other poses, it was more out of the box.

this is the final edited picture, i removed the background in photoshop because, although it did show depth of field, it didnt go with the clean theme that i was going for with the design of the dvd box, it looked too messy, after i cut out the background i used the brush tool to add a blood splatter effect to the hands, to make the viewer ask themselves what has this character done. this adds another element to the film, it means that someone at some point will be killed by one of the main characters.
