To begin with I was told that if I was going to make this work I would have to include photos of the different materials that made them look stunning.
So I waited until the sun was shining, so I could use the natural light to get the affect I wanted.
This is a selection of photos that I had taken of plastic to act as the polyethylene within my layers sequence. I narrowed my shots down to 4 to choose from, as each of them would give off a plastic like feel to them.
In the end I chose the bottem left one to use, mainly because of the light reflection in the centre, also out of all of them that one is the one that mostly looks like polyethylene when I zoom in.
I also took photos of the inside of the carton because to make the inside section of my animation I have to make it look like the viewer is actually inside of the carton.
I began with using the bottem left one, as that one is in the centre of the carton, and that is where I will start the inside section.
However, on the photos the colouring wasn't what I wanted, therefore I took it into Photoshop, brought down the satuation, so that there was no colour, and then took up the explosure a bit, so that the whole thing was lighter. I repeated this process with the other photos that I had chosen, so that I could make a seemingly well put together box when I placed it in After Effects.
Lastly I have taken photos of aluminium and cardboard. The way I did the aluminium was by cutting out the centre part of a can and then turning it upside down, so that the silver part was facing upwards, and reflecting the light from the sun.
Even though I have got 2 different shots that look aesthetically pleasing to the eye, for what I want to achieve I ended up chosing the one on the right hand side, mainly because it has got the same black and white essence that I had previously created for the inside of the carton, and by chosing that one I have got a slight continuity throughout my piece.
