In our crime thriller we decided to include suspects to add to the realism of the plot with coinciding characters

Therefore we photographed two men and a woman as our suspects.

We wanted to make this as realistic as possible so decided the best way to do this would be to take 'mug shots' of three individuals. A typical mug shot is two-part, with one side-view photo, and one front-view. A mug shot or mugshot  is an informal term for police photograph, or booking photograph, and is a photographic portrait  typically taken after a person is arrested.

From Google I was able to download a height chart - and create plaque board of the suspects name and number.

On photoshop I was able to combine all three elements of the image; the original photograph, the height chart + plaque board. I first masked out the face in front of the height chart - taking into consideration the possible heights of each suspects (for this reason I purposefully edited the suspects to be taller than they are naturally. I believe by adding height to the suspects this creates the effect that they are extra tall adding superiority and power to them visually)
I then edited each image black and white as police mug shots are originally. However also by editing these images black and white the viewer cannot be distracted by colour within the photo and focus on the contents more so.

These images will be included in our production when the protagonist is searching through the documents in the detectives office. We also plan to include these on an investigation board as part of a prop for our detective.
