1. Media Photo’s of car crash

2. Before image
I wanted to use selected images of
the car crash for my article on my
second page of my
newspaper, however the image was
too dark due to the location of the
crash, hence I increased the fill light
by 20%, and I increased the
brightness by 32% brightness and I
also slightly tweaked the contrast by
12%, this was to make the image
more easily recognisable, and also to
draw attention to the damage on the
car.

I had the same issue with lighting as the
images was taken in a woods, hence I had to
use the flash on my camera so that the car
and surrounding area was visible.
There was a slight issue with the setting, it was
adjacent to a busy road, hence I had to crop the
left side of the image as there you can see the
blurred motion of a car going past. I then
wanted more of the area viewable so I
increased the brightness by 28%, whilst slightly
increasing the contrast by 10%

This was one of my favourite images of the car crash, I wanted to
use this as my main article image, along with the previous two
edited images on the side. I increased the brightness by 24% as
even the flash from the camera did not provide the light I
wanted. I like the fact that you can see the police tape as it gives
the image a sense of authenticity. I increased the contrast by
13%. I did not play around with the colours as I wanted the
images to look realistic and informative for my newspaper.

5. I did not use this image on main product as it is
too similar to the images on slide 4.

6. I did not use this image either simply due to the distance of the car
from the camera shot, I would have to crop a large portion of the
background, also the tree being in the forefront looks unprofessional.

7. I did not use this image as the article was based upon a car crash
accident and the position of the tree blocks the view of the dents
and damages that the vehicle took. Also there are cars going pasted
In the background making the image look unprofessional.

8. In my opinion this is the worse image of the PowerPoint, I
initially took the image to show the extent of the damage
of the crash, however it just looks displaced and odd.

9. I did not use this image in the production of my
media tasks; It is too similar to the images on slide
3, however the angle is slightly different.
