I started by flagging all the images I believed were successful green, this turned out being only 10 images as the rest of my images from this photoshoot were blurry and dark.

For some images I wanted to crop them into a main focal point so they have less negative space- for cinematic style images there would rarely be space where something is not happening, this is due to the nature of cinema and films where cameras are often concentrated on the action.

When editing these images I wanted to stay committed to the green/yellow tinge that the floodlights produced on the images- I am going to do minimal editing however my main concentration will be bringing out colour and making the images more vibrant. All the images will be edited similarly- adjudgments will mainly be made for the exposure of each image as this is quite inconsistent.

As seen for the image above, editing is minimal and primarily concentrated on colour- bringing out greens and yellows in the image. I was going to turn up the grain in the images however due to underexposure the images themselves are already quite grainy.

Though editing my images I was able to cut down to some final images as changing the exposure and contrast I could see blur and images which were more unsuccessful, I changed these images to yellow in my coding system so I can still access them.

I find many of these images more unsuccessful as they portray too much of an outsider point of view, with no focal point they make the subjects look isolated with a lack of interaction towards the camera (many subjects have their back to the camera which is uncommon in film photography). In the bottom image although almost every subject is presented towards the camera there is an amateur feeling towards the perspective, a lack of focal point as the subjects are spread out which I do not feel is very appealing in the type of effect I am trying to accomplish.

I think these images are more successful as they have clear focal points with a clear aesthetic theme running through them: the one outlier is the image at the bottom of the montage above which is darker and more underexposed, making it less clear and out of focus due to grain- there is also a lot of negative space in the image so I am unsure if I will consider this image a final image however the other two images are in focus and carry the same idea of cinematic images; in focus, clear, an idea of narrative as the subjects are concentrated on what is out of frame and definition in the subject with not too much grain.
