Here is some of the images we changed using photoshop.
This picture, we changed the colours on half the image from colour to black and white. Symbolically, it could mean that she feels lost and drained in reality and her reflection shows how others see her, without knowing how she really feels.
In this picture, we cropped the image, and adjusted the colours to make it look a little bit grittier and sharp. We also changed the words on the sign to read 'Alone Street', using the text tool and adjusting the colours and opacity to blend it in so it looks natural.
With this image, we adjusted the colours inside the cafe to look drained but still keeping some colour whilst the outside of the window is in black and white. This relates to the first image where she is looking out the window, it could represent a world that is lost and not understanding, and feeling safe inside away from negativity.
In this image, we made the colours black and white, but used the colour correction tool to bring back some colour in the books. We also used the lasso tool to go around the book she is holding, and then used the distort tool to create a fuzzy effect. This could mean she finds small glimmers of hope in life, but she feels alone and confused.
In this image, we made it very heavily contrasted and black and white. This is to create a feel of sadness, fear and loneliness.
In this image, i have combined to images together, by bringing them both into photoshop and then using the rectangular marquee tool, draw around the image i want to put on top of the other one, and drag it over. We then resized the image to fit where we thought would look interesting, and decreased the opacity and fill, so it ghosted over the image. This creates a sort of in deep thought, losing feeling of the world around her.
This image relates to the one above, in a sequence of how she looks to the world, and then her daydreaming, lost in thought. in this image, we cropped it to look closed in, and drained the colours slightly to show a mood of sadness.
In this image, we took flowers from another photo and used the lasso tool to cut. We then cut and copied them several times, to create a fine art image. We made it black and white, with high contrasts and with the flowers, we brought the yellow tones darker, which created this effect.
In this image, we have combined three separate images together in one, we have taken one from where she is sitting in the library, setting in the cafe, and then shrunk down an image of where she is walking in a carpark. We then got a royalty free image of smashed glass, and over laid it on top of the window, dragging down the opacity to create a see through effect.

We then put them into final cut, and put the images in a specific order to create a loose narrative. We took a piano piece from Youtube, to play over the top, creating a mood to the piece. We let the pictures change in sync with the beat from the song, so it flowed nicely. Apart from changing one of the images to 'Alone Street', we decided not to add any text or spoken narration, so that the audience is left to make up their own emotions and feelings towards the images.
