The Main Image

Main Image 

To begin with i had to find a location that would be suitable for the image to be taken. I was unsure were football was played by individuals and therefore carried out some primary research in the hope i would discover this. I started by doing some observations of the public by walking around my local area and noting down all the locations that they were made.

* sports pitch 

* fields

* front garden 

* sports halls  

After discovering this i felt that in the location there had to be a key misc-en-scene of a football goal so the audience could clearly understand that the story is related to football.

I then had the issue of finding one of these locations with the misc-en-scene that i required. I found a football net in the AstroTurf at school but when i looked closer i discovered that it would not be suitable due to it being against a high metal fence that gave it an creepy fell.

I then discovered a football net at my local park which would have been perfect however it is green which does not fit with the normal conventions of football nets.

After a while i came across a big patch of grass that has two parks on but in the middle there was a football net. This was a good location because it was in a field which from my research i know people use to play football and it is the colour white to fit in with the traditional net. However the only issue is that the football goal did not have a net in which is not conventional.
   

I then placed the image onto photo shop and made a few adjustments. The adjustments that were made was making her skin clearer which i done by creating a new layer then used the quick selection tool and then blurring the skin. 

When placing the text on top of the image i placed the text into two columns because Megan is in the third columns. The first columns was fine however the second column went over the football. To solve this problem i texted wrapped the writing. To do this i had to create a new layer and draw a shape around the football so the text went around the football.    

In post production i found that the negative of not being able to find a net soon became a positive due to the fact that i wanted to put the writing on top of the picture because of the lack of space. This became a positive because if the writing was placed on top of the lines from the net it would become very difficult to read.
