Background

The background of our blog is a photograph I took in winter 2011 of a forest near where I live. I thought it was very relevant to the genre we were focusing on; Psychological thriller. As these types of film often focus on distressing or melancholy themes and situations, a dark, cold, unwelcoming and almost threatening image would be perfect to reflect those themes. In addition to this, the description of the image would adequately suit the mind or behaviour of a psychopath which is something we want to focus on. 

 I edited the picture to make it more visually exciting, I did this by increasing the contrast to create a sharpness and depth in the picture, as well as lowering the temperature of the image and adding a blue tint to it in order to make the environment seem cold and dangerous. Editing our film opening in this way could be something we look into later on.
