'Cinderella' Cast, Crew and Stills

During the planning process of our Film Noir, we decided to create some stills of each scene we wanted in the film, like a storyboard to refer to. We didn't manage to include one of the more important scenes as we ran out of time and couldn't actually find everything we needed to film the scene. Here is a Prezi of the stills, the cast and crew involved in the making of the film. I may add some music behind this presentation soon. Enjoy!





When creating and taking the stills, we decided to place a lot of them in the photography studio, as the lighting was easier to handle than the shots we took outside. Thankfully, the days we decided to film outside was cloudy, which gave a nice natural effect to those particular photos. It also helped as there wasn't much sunshine or lack thereof to deal with. 

The photos were edited by Chloe, who enchanced eye colour to represent different characters as well as bringing a strong contrast to the photos, and drawing the audience to their eyes as most other things in the photo are either black or white. For example, Cinderella has blue eyes, which is quite a bright, happy colour, but can also represent sadness. The Prince's eyes are red, which is often used to show love, evil, blood, lust and passion. The Fairy Godmother's eyes are a yellow-ish colour. Yellow is often used to represent caution and false hope. This could refer to her warning Cinderella to not meddle with her's and the Prince's relationship, as well as being false hope for the Prince as he wanted to kill her for her money, but ended up being murdered by Cinderella because of it. The fact that in Beth's photo her eyes are the least prominent could show that she does not play a very important role to the other characters but is actually the only one who lives and doesn't get into any trouble with the others.

The shadows and colours were much more enhanced in the editing process, especially in this photo:

In some photos were inspired by Sin City, as red is a prominent colour throughout the film, whilst everything else is in black and white, with a graphic novel feel. We didn't use the graphic novel style in out stills but made sure the red (in the tie for example), stood out, as well as the use of light and dark.
