                                                                        Photograph Memory check

Would we use a large or a small aperture to achieve a shallow depth of field? It would be a Large depth of view

 

When would we use the ‘S’ control setting one the camera mode dial meaning S for speed of the shutter

What do we do to make the camera achieve focus? lightly press the camera shutter button although not enough for it to take a photo and it will focus. Push half way and then apply the last bit of pressure

 

Name three items needed when producing a seamless background lighting set-up white sheets of paper pined up to three

 

When focusing the camera, what do we place on the object/subject to ensure it is the centre of focus?

lighting /light stands

 

What must we do when we finish using the light to ensure it doesn't get broken?Let the light bulb cool down Otherwise it could break when its cooling down

 

 this was the work done in Week 1 with photography Showing how the camera witch we would be using

Week 2

Proposal: Planning for the Photography I will be doing for this project has to be based around the slogan freak or unique fitting the brief by using action figures of some kind on a white screen doing the almost like cat walk back ground with only the figures their self to grab the viewers’ attention onto the image that has been edited with in Photoshop. This will have an action man or a power ranger in front of the white back ground this is to get well taken images while being able to edit the photo without too much background interruption with this making it easier to be able to focus all the editing on the power ranger himself. Although I would like to have the power ranger to symbolize the sign for power, energy and health as power rangers are known for being powerful. As the product it was advertising was an Energy drink it helped support that in the way it will affect the consumers in the same way. Using a Lunix camera to make sure that I can get a high quality photo graph although I will be making sure I’ll use a white screen for a clean edit. Although another idea is to use more than one action figure to use loads of different action figures to attempt to show the use of energy to be able to almost signify what the product does its self(energy drink)Extreme the drink witch will be edit into the top or top left of the images will be taken.Seamless back ground (White screen) also once the images have been captured then while in Photoshop editing the pictures that will be to change the levels on the photo balancing out any colour issues will be balanced properly and epically making sure the black input isn’t to high otherwise the picture may be had to see if not balanced properly. So making sure this is done properly is important also what comes with using levels is using something called Curves witch will alter certain colours and gives a way to be able to alter certain colours all at once such as RGB (Red ,Green and Blue) altering only them colours and tones making them lighter or darker through adjusting a graph were on it will be a graph like scale where you can move two markers either way to change the colours on screen. This will be very helpful for the images once they have been taken.

 

First of we was handed our brief the brief was called “Freak or Unique’’ witch meant we was to follow this very closely throughout the hole of this project this was researched and put to practice throughout this project (witch was a six week period) although before we started researching we had been taught how to use the Lumix camera we would use and how it works different from a standard compact camera and as to why the Lumix was a lot more helpful for making professional shots as you can alter the :Shutter speed, complex manual settings, aperture setting and Programme settings. Freak or unique Blog showing all the inspiration

When we was given the brief I just broke it up into two bits Freak and Unique I sided more with the unique side of it rather than the freak side of the creative siding with one of the word rather than both although I incorporated the freak part into the other half of the project to make it slightly more one sided with both the videos. Freak or unique Photography to me was interpreted as being unusual photography often based around rear or un seen things in normal day to day life, something altered or normally not seen by the naked eye. Once broken down Freak meaning almost sinister and Unique meaning something out of the usual.

When I Known what I was doing still had to get to get all :Locations, times props and models

Locations: Class room with free space(with good lighting)(and on a table).

Times: During class 11.30 am on the 02/10/2015

Props: Action figures: Power ranger action figure red, Power ranger action figure blue (of the same height )

Models : The action figures them self's will model the product with an edit (Photoshop editing software)

 

This was the final Product although the quality had to be lowered due to format changes in the images although what I had done to edit this was had a blue ranger in the exact same place as the red ranger is then I used Photoshop to get rid of any of the blue ranger that wasn’t needed using the lasso tool to get rid of all the image than the arm that is on the red action figure. Using the magic wand tool at first then using the lasso tool to make it look sharper than I did before making sure that if it was zoomed into it would look a lot more real than looking like it was just un realistic.

This was one of the first edits done although once I had this one I was not completely happy with it as it didn’t give much room for the logo to go in with it covering a large portion of the screen and basically stopping the logo from being able to be in the front of the picture.

I would do a lot different I would like to have more ruff copies of the thing that a created because it would have gave me more options on what I would have had to have done Possibly had a better finishing product.

Although I have learned a lot through my first assignment one of the many things is that everything has added up to something and made an impact on the final product.

The final product does feel it has met the assignment brief as it has been edited nicely and was a lot of time spent making sure it looks good and the shot with just a little bit of shadow to keep some form of natural light.
