Text overlay

The aim of this task was to create a set of text overlay images using low key lighting. First off I needed to create the low key lighting images, which I did by going into the studio, using a background and only one light. I moved the light to different positions, which created different amounts of light and shadow on her face. I made sure I had a good small set of images before leaving the studio and going to use photoshop. In photoshop I edited the image black and white, I then found text from a song of the classmates choice. I took this text and brought it into word, made it a size I felt would help to create a better image. Whilst correcting the text throughout these 3 processes, I chose two different typefaces. Once I had the text how I wanted it I took a screen shot of it and dragged it into photoshop on top of the portrait. I positioned it over the portrait, then changed the blending mode to 'multiply'. I then erased the text from where I didn't want it to be. 

I have created three different images using text overlay, using different photographs, different typefaces and positioning them differently. I feel that the third one is the most successful, as the text typeface fits in well with the image and creates a good style. Although these images are successful on the what they intend to do I don't like the images as a whole, I felt that I could of got better portraits and her facial expressions don't match up with the style of the images. I also would change the way i added the text to make it more of a style that I like.
