Photography propsal

After I did my research on freak or unique images I then decided that I was going to do my advert based on Halloween type glittery hoof oil. I decided this as I thought it would be good to do something that is a hobby of mine. I thought that it was really unique and in some sort of way I am going to try and make it a little freaky.

When we took our photographs last week, I took images of:

• some of my rosettes
• hoof oil
• a model horse
• a horse bit
• a horse shoe

When we was taking our photography, the equipment we used was:

• a table
• red heads (camera lights)
• white paper for the background
• pins to keep the background in place
• tripod
• camera
• props to take photographs of

Me and a few others took our photographs in the room next door which is E101B as it had more space for us to set everything up. When I am editing my images I am going to use quite a few techniques on Photoshop, when trying to make my photographs look a lot more appealing and lighter I am going to be using the 'levels' tool, this helps bright the image to light. Another way of making the image brighten up is the technique 'curves' this works a lot like levels but this helps balance it out, if you look below once you are on 'curves' there's a little paint brush that is white, if you click on that then click on the background of your photography this would help the background go pure white and your image will stand out a lot more.

The problem with using new techniques on Photoshop on your photography is that you may come across some obstacles for example, using too many techniques on one image that it will make your image not as effective, also when you use new techniques on Photoshop you may make your image too bright or too dark but this will only make your experience on Photoshop better as you learn from mistakes. 

After taking all my images and editing them all, I decided that I was going to use the photograph of the hoof oil and also of the model horse as I thought that these had more to do with each other than all the other little bits did. I am expecting to be spending 15-20 minutes setting everything up to take your photographs on, getting everything ready and perfect for when you shoot and then I am expecting to be shooting my props for 20-30 minutes, within this time I am expecting to get a few different shots of the same prop but with different lightening and in different positions.

My idea of my advert was going to be having a freaky background then with me cropping out my photo of the horse I had taken and then changing the opacity to make the horse look sort of like a ghost. I would then cut around the photo of the hoof oil that I had taken and keep the opacity at 100% so that that main product that I am trying to advertise stands out a lot more. I will then have to come up with a name for my product and after going through loads of different ones I came up with the name 'Glitter hooves' and the slogan 'for super hooves' as I found it catchy and that will blend in well with the title. I am going to make the title stand out too.
On my photo of the hoof oil that I took a photo off, I am going to take the name of that and put the name of my product over that or where the name of the original logo went, this way it will look even more like the product was called that already. On the original product also, there is a label that says 'blond' so again also using an image of google, I am going to try and overlap this with some glitter some it looks like it says that it's glitter on the bottle.

As my background i'm going to have to be using a image from google as I won't be able to go out and take a background as freaky as I am thinking of. but everything else in the image will be purely my photography! I hope my advert works out as I think that this would be a really interesting thing to try and make an advert about. I am going to try and aim my advert obviously to equestrians for them to use at Halloween for their horses to join in with the occasion and look part of the season.

I will upload what my advert will finally look like once it has been main and I hope it reaches everything it says on here, I am going to try and achieve all my goals that I have wrote on here and hope that my advert all blends in well and works out correctly.
