Proposal

For my freak or unique photography I am going to be doing a ghostly image so I need to make it look creepy, I’m going to take a picture of the tunnel outside college going into the courtyard as it is dark and would be good to use, I’m also going to be taking pictures of someone on the spiral stairs to be photo shopped into the tunnel, for this the person is going to be walking down the stairs so that the person goes blurry and as ghostly as possible, so they look like they could be a ghost when I put it in the tunnel. I will need to do it at a time when there isn’t going to be many people around so I’m going to do it quite a bit in to the lesson rather than right at the beginning so that I don’t get anyone I don’t want to have in the photo as it wouldn’t look as effective.

I will take quite a few pictures in different directions of each place to see what angle looks the best, and so that I have more than one picture to choose from of both places and so that I can chose the best one from each to use for my final design. I will use Photoshop to merge the two images together, to do this I will put both images on different layers and I will use the gradient tool to make them both black and white because I think that would be more effective than it would if it was in colour, then I’m going to make the person a bit more transparent, blurry and maybe a bit bigger as I don’t want it to look too small because you won’t be able to see it very well and I want to be able to see the face, then get them both blended together into one photo. After that I will use the cut out tool to cut around the person so that there isn’t any background left and I can use just the person in my other photo.

After I have used the first person for it I might put more than one person onto it as I think it would look better to use more than one ghost than if I just used the one ghost as it would make it look creepier.
