Photoshop Eyes =]

After researching images of eyes, we decided to take pictures of our own eyes to edit on Photoshop to use in our Digipack. We took photos in the Photography studio so we could use bright lights. Elliot is now editing our eyes in black and white, and taking out the pupils etc, but me and Lucy also started to experiment on Photoshop editing the eyes with different colours and making them look grainy or painted and cartooned.

The first eye is Lucy's where she edited her eye so that it was still quite natural but the colours are contrasting, with the warmth of the red and the darkness underneath the eye, we wanted it to look like she had a black eye to show the abuse, it looks scarier as its very bold and the light just catches the side of the eye showing almost how she could be crying as the eye looks wet.

The second eye is mine, and i edited it by contrastinf the colours to give it an abstract feel, it looks like the eye is no longer part of the face which is a very artistic and striking look but i don't think it would work for us as it is too bright, but i still like the experimental look and if we had a really abstract video with no narrative then this may have worked better.

The third eye is also mine and i edited it so it was black and white, and i used the artistic grain affect. I thought this cover is the most effective of the three as it relates to our video the most, yet i don't think the grain works as it needs to look more naturalistic. But i still thought it was an interesting affect to use.
