Photography evaluation

In photography lesson we had to create a freaky image using objects we find that are unusual. I researched freaky pictures to find something for inspiration and I found a lot of pictures that were freaky but they were from the Victorian times and they were of people that were in freak shows. For a freaky image you have to have something that is unusual or freaky or something that just isn’t right. The freaky images I found weren’t just freaky because of the things the people were doing or looked like they were also freaky because they were black and white. The cameras that were used in the Victorian times were called bellows camera and you had to sit in front of them for up to half an hour, so for the pictures from my research you would have to sit very still or the picture would be blurred. I also did some research on the bellows camera, and I found out that the photographer would move the backwards and forwards to focus the camera and they would then add a glass plate with chemicals on to take the picture. My idea was to have some freaky objects that stand out to people and create a final piece using those images I wanted my final piece to look as freaky as possible but with the blue background it didn’t work. The location I used to take the photos was the room next door because it was empty and there was room to set up the lighting and tripod. The props that were used were unusual but not that unusual. I could have made them weirder using the tools in Photoshop but I didn't because I wanted to leave them how they was. To editing my final photographs I used the curves tool in Photoshop to make the pictures lighter and darker and the pen tool to merge the pictures together to make a collage of photographs. For my final task I made an advert that was advertising a film.

If I could do the project again I would make the photos look more weird using the tools on Photoshop, I’ve learned to not waste time with the lighting and get the photo's done in a short amount of time so  I can get them edited to get my final piece done and make it look better than it does. I don't think the my final piece matches the proposal because I did something different and I don't think it meets the assignment brief because the brief asked for a freaky image but my image want freaky enough to meet he brief. If I was to do the vase again I would have made the opacity lower to make the glass see through and I would make it a bit lighter and I would add I little shine using the paint tool.

Advert evaluation

I used Photoshop to produce a magazine cover for my product which is called Avidity. To create my final piece I had to use the quick selection tool to cut out my product and then use the rotate tool to make it diagonal from the writing. I used green and red because they are the colours that stand out the most on magazine covers. I researched magazine covers to see what the layout was like and what the size was for the cover, I looked at the sizes of the fonts and looked at the location of the fonts on the cover. Researching other magazine covers gave me some ideas to help me with my magazine cover and I also found a magazine that my product would go well with. I didn’t learn any other skills because I use Photoshop often I have used all of the tools and know how to work it. My final piece could have been better because it looks rushed and it doesn’t look very creative. If I was to do it again I would use fonts off of Dafont to make my magazine cover stand out more. I would still use the same colours as they stand out and look good together.  I’m not happy with my final piece because I spent more time on my planning then actually creating my final piece.

My product photo was taken on Lumix camera and transferred it onto my hard drive. To cut out my product I used the quick selection tool and cut it out using the inverse button which you can find if you hover over the select tab. I kept the original background layer on photo shop so I could easily put a black background in. once id cut out my product I hid it so it wasn’t in my way when I was adding the magazine name and the tagline. I was going to use Dafont for my writing but I didn’t have enough time to find a font that would match my advert.

location recce

Advert

 For our location we are using the car park next to NCN but, the lift is out of order so we are cutting the lift part out.

 Reece and Jake will have to be careful running up the stairs because they could be wet and slippy.

The public use this car park but we will stop filming if somebody is walking past and if the are filmed before we get a chance to pause they will be cut out during editing.



Reece is going to be doing a point of view shot so we can get a little more emotion for the advert.

levels and curves in photoshop

Mark Epton

i am using levels to make the image lighter and darker. the image will look better if i get the right balance of dark and light.if i used curves it would be easier to use then levels because its easier to line up the curves and make it lighter and darker.

this is an example of a picture made lighter by using curves. it was easy to do because i have used curves before so its easier for me to use then level because i find it simpler and better because you get a clear picture.
