Stage One - Original Photography
The photo below features the original setting in which the photo was taken. I positioned Alexa like this so that she could only be seen from the waist up, for framing purposes. Having her face the camera provides a more striking image for the viewer and also makes the character feel more informal. Her hood implies an anti-social attitude and her youth. I took this photo in the studio because the background would be easy to remove.
Stage Two - Background Removed via Photoshop
In photoshop I removed the background from the jpeg and exported it as a PNG so that in After Effects I would have no problem adding in backgrounds.
Stage Three - Image Composited into Title Sequence via After Effects
In the final composition, I edited together an image of a suburban Cambridge street with Alexa's character photo. I chose this background because it suited the setting of the character, homeless and alone. I cropped the background slightly only so that it moved across the frame more smoothly, I also added a slightly blue tint. Another effect I applied was gaussian blur, I applied this to the background so that Alex's character is the primary focus in the shot.

I cropped the background slightly so that it moved across the frame more smoothly. Another effect I applied was gaussian blur, I applied this effect because it makes Aidan's character more prominent.
