PROPS:
HEIGHT CHART:
As printing off a real height chart would be expensive and unfeasible due to its sheer size we had to think of a way of creating an authentic looking height chart. We projected an image of a height chart from the internet onto a clean whiteboard in our media classroom then used a long ruler to draw over them.
PLACARD & CHALK:
We used a small children's play chalkboard as a placard for the mugshot. We then used chalk to draw on the "prisoners" information such as her name, prisoner number and the crime committed.
ISSUES FOUND:
We found that our lamp we were using was creating large shadow onto our board behind Jakarta. This lighting also gave her a more unflattering look which we didn't want to show. Instead, we turned the lights off in the room and used the cameras flash to illuminate the setting. This worked fantastically at the same time as eliminating any shadow.
Another problem that we had to overcome was that during the photoshoot the lines we had drawn on the board with marker kept rubbing off. In addition to this, we had issues reading the information of the board as the light from the camera flash was reflecting back decreasing the legibility of the placard. We resolved this with a bit of image editing in Adobe Photoshop.
