Narrative Still Life

Advertisement Image

1.)  I used my sunglasses because I use them everyday. I wanted to capture in my advertisement why i wear sunglasses.

2.) My "big idea" was to create a clear, clean, crisp, ad with very little text that got my point across and made it clear.  I wanted a simple but powerful; advertisement. I feel that I achieved just that with the minimal but powerful text and the moody color and overall feel of the image.

3.) I used a gray color scheme and used defused lighting with a reflector to soften the light and get rid of reflections in the lenses. 

Forced Perspective

1.) None of them are really believable. There are all forced perspective. If I had to pick however, I would say the last image is most believable because little toddlers have that perspective of adults all the time.

2.)  The third image is the  most interesting because it is the most well done image and leaves a lot open to the imagination.

3.) It was difficult getting ideas for some of the images. Also, getting the shot to work was sometimes difficult.

1.) The boot represents how humanity is grounded t the earth. The plane coming out of the boot represents humans need and want to fly even though we can't natural. The apple represents sustenance the human needs in order to fly. The apple in the second image represents temptation (the apple adam and eve bit out of). The candle represents harm under the temptation. If you go after the apple you will get hurt.

2.) We used both direct and defused lighting. The direct lighting however, is more prominent. 

3.) Our first image could be sharper, clearer, and more focused. We could have a better background.

Photographing Action

1.) I like the lighting and the use of the rule of thirds.

2.) Using the brush tool to show the images properly.

3.) Taking the actual images.

Motion Image

My image looks real because the blurred back tire makes the car look like its doing doughnuts on the tarmac. The smoke in the image adds to the effect. 

Friendship Turned Bad

In this story RJ and myself can't take each other anymore. We leave class and square up in the quad. We then proceed to pummel each other with a flurry of kicks and punches. Neither of us win, but our friendship is broken forever.

Green Screen Project--Period 2

1.) The most difficult part of this project for me was the editing of the subject matter to place in front of the background. It was challenging because there was finite areas that needed to be edited.

2.) I like the depth of the composition and the texture.

3.) I could find a way to blend the subject matter more efficiently with the background.

1.) The brush tool.

2.) The placement and blending of the planet and moon against the sky.

3.) It was not that difficult.  Once you get the hang of it, it is a simple process of copy,pasting, and editing.

4.) Could have made the image more complex and added more images.

Bottle Project

1.) I learned how to use clipping masks, warp an image, and how to add a layers adjustment.

2.) 17 layers

3.) I liked this assignment because after a lot of hard work I created something very cool and unique. I also really got to use many elements of photo shop.

Speed Challenge Quiz

1.) The lighting, texture, and clear focus on the subject matter.

2.) The texture and focus of the image.

3.) Just used a filter off of snapchat.

4.) I had to find something that stood out in a school campus. I wanted to find something that most people would take for granted and not really even notice.

5.) Rule of thirds, texture and shape.

1.) You had to get really close to your subject matter. I was pretty easy otherwise.
2.) My favorite shot is the fourth one because the texture is very clear and the background is nicely blurred.
3.) he fourth image. 

Landscape Project

1.) For the fist image I used the rule of thirds. I emphasized the sky against the tree branches.

2.) The principles of colors that I used are color and balance. I balanced the the main subject matter and put different amount of space between it. I also captured nice colors especially in the last image with the sunlight against the green bush. The middle image has texture to the background.

3.) The image was shot around 9:00 am. I found that this was a great time to shoot because the lighting was soft and yellow.

4.) I used the foreground to lead into my subject matter in my second image. I used the natural plain background in my first image in contrast of my subject mater.

1.) The mixer channel produced the best results.

2.) I achieved a large value range in saturation and channel mixer.
