So finally, after a lot of shooting and a lot of changing of ideas I have edited down to my fianl selection of six images. It was a quite a difficult process to decide which ones I wanted to include, and I spent a good few hours looking through them all to see which ones worked best. As I sated previously I thought it was going to be difficult to make them flow cohesivley as a series, due to the fact the positioning of the model was different in every frame. However I managed to overcome this, because as the background was black I could cut around the head and shoulders and move it to anywhere in the frame I wanted, then simply fill in the void that I had moved them from. I did this so the series had a constant flowing throughout, and I chose to have three of the people on the left hand side looking to the right, and the other three vise-versa. I think this works quite well, and when I saw the print outs of them all together, it really helped to just focus on the persons face and their reaction.
I like that the light changes slightly throughout the series, as it gives each person and their emotional reaction a distinctive look and feel. Also when editing these six images in their RAW formats, I chose to lower the temperature of them slightly, making them appear more blue and more cold. I did this as way to make the audience feel unnerved by the images.
I think that even though most of the people's reactions to the darkness are the same, there a subtle differences in them that really help them stand out. Some of them appear more scared, while others are more curious to what is happening, and some even appear confident of the situation.
All in all I am pleased with the outcome of the series as a whole, and I think that they flow really nicely and really capture the reactions of the people to the darkness.
