High quality Snap-shots.

Continuing production of the website the basic layout has been decided , however no movie-website is complete without full high-quality images from the film it-self. It was quite some trouble finding a way to capture these HD images from the footage , however a member of our group suggested we use a programme called VLC. With this it comes inbuilt with a screen-cap tool, to rip an image directly from a video file. With quality in full tact , each image comes to about 4-8mb. Which is the standard for a DSLR jpeg file.
This is a useful tool as we can now get any images we need for gallery, characters, posters ,wallpapers etc. These images can be manipulated in any way in photoshop CS5 , such as colour ,size , contour . The site uses a dark theme , so many images used on the site will be altered in photoshop to seem dark/suspenseful. The altering of the images is done by group member Amin who has previous experience in photoshop.
