THE RESULTS

The other camera that I used was my own Nikon D200 to shoot for the poster and magazine cover. I could have used the film camera again to get the vintage feel but I opted to take it with a higher quality camera as they were being blown up to scale and then alter this in post production in Photoshop (see next page) using things like film grain and filters to make it look older.

I used multiple cameras for a variety of purposes with both stills and video.

When shooting for the poster and magazine I used a green screen to make it easier to crop the character out and lighting rigs to light him from the extreme below, as this makes people look unfamiliar and sinister.

The higher lighting conditions also meant I could also alter my aperture and shutter speed to get a better quality image.

Camera Reviews

Sony Vario Sonnar

I gave the film camera 4.5 stars, it was ideal for the style that I wanted to go for but it did lack some of the quality certain digital cameras offer

Nikon D200

This is the camera that I used for my still work, I gave it four stars as I found when editing the megapixel quality wasn't quite high enough
