STUDIO LIGHT

Studio lighting was an easy process taking the photographs and thinking of portraits that would look classy and good. The hard part of all of this was the printing room. I think the mistake was that we choose black background rather than white which would have looked better. Since we chose black it was hard to destinguish dark things like his hair, shirt, and the other half of his face. In the printing room i had to let less light so the image wouldnt have looked so blown out. The first one i did was to bright because the light was to low, so i had to use a brighter light, and when i did it got darker and the lines separating his hair and shirt from the background dissapeared and it kind of blends in. In the end what i do like about this image is the contrast it shows, and how classic the portrait looks. Next time when we decide to do this project i will decide to use a white background just how the teacher recomended we should of used.

I thought this procces of putting these for images together was a very fun experience. At first i thought it wasng going to look good because i was looking at the pictures as singl, but when i saw them all together i thought it was a very fun process to do, also i thought it looked funny. I never imagined before that you can make yourself look different just by adding different pieces of clothing or changing your hair. This was fun just thinking the four different kind of looks we wanted to got for. I decided to make one of them a preppy person, a cow girl or souther girl, a glamourous rockstar, and last a oldies hippie. What distingueshes them would be how i changed my hair and shir, and just a little bit the make up. On the top two (preppy and cowgirl) i decided to smile because of the personality those stero types have, very bubbly and smiley. On the bottom two i decided not to smile since rockstars are known for being troublesomes and their bad attitude so i thought it would look different if i didnt smile instead. In the oldies i could have smiled but many old photographs ive seen people didnt smile as much. This was an easy process copying and pasting the images in photoshop, and that was the even easiest part. i enjoyed doing this process and seeing how it came out looking.

This is my cover to my sequencing book titiled "Trajic Friendship". I decided to use an image that i use in the story but it was an extra. This image is basicly about the three people shown in it, and you can tell a girl is stuck in the middle between these two friends. At first i decided to tear the picture and make a collage in the front were you would have to guess what its about. But then Aja helped me and sugested it would look better if i put the picture back in the torn pieces. So thats why the image is put back together. Secon i had already decided i wanted to add color into this little book and i thought red would help the whole classy look. So i decided to splatter the paint all over making a look like a more exagerating to the trajic theme. For the font i decided to do cursive, it was a good idea but the lettering didnt come out all that good because of the paper, but i like the title i chose.

Sequencing was maybe the photoshoot were it involved the most thinking. Usually i always have an idea of a photo and i snap it, but this time it had to be more than one photo and when i put all of them together it had to make sense. I had many ideas of different storys, but a mest up love and friendship crossed my head with good images. My story was about two bestfriends that meet a girl(Ruby) and one of them(Carlos) becomes her boyfriend. Later the girlfriend is no longer so close to the boyfriend and in the back of the couple is the other best friend(Rigo). As he starts getting into the picture too. Later as you can see in the top left image Rigo goes behind his bestfriends back and goes out with the girlfriend(Ruby), but carlos has no idea. As he later finds out, Carlos chooses not to be friends with Rigo and theres a big seperation between them, with Ruby in the middle of it. Sequence is also a great process that lets your imagination flow in many different ways. I would love to start making other sequencing intresting stories.

LASOO TOOL

I think the process of this digital assignment was different and in the begining very stressful, but in the end it looked just like i wanted it too. When i started i had a lot of trouble with the lasso tool, but in a way it seemed sort of simple, i just thought it was harder and i stressed out. After i decided to copy and paste and it was not how i wanted to do it so i had to grab the whole image and paste it onto the sky i wanted to show. I chose the sunrise sky because i thought it would look interesting with the structure of the temple thing. How i set it up it looks like a dreamy place and weird but it makes it look cool. After i had pasted the image i had to zoom in and begin erasing the details so i can put the sunset good. i would work again with the lasso tool and now i got more experience to use it so i wont give up fast, and make other creations too.

MOTION

For this image i choose to do more stop action rather than doing panning. Even though this image wasn't from the time i shot all my motion pictures it still had stop action of Carlos swinging on the trees. This image is a little off of focus so for next time i have to pay attention and make sure i focus all the shots so i can get clearer images. There is not that much contrast in grayscales but i think the really dark black stands out from this image and it makes you focus on what he is doing

CARLOS DEPTH OF FIELD

This project was really fun and i liked working with depth of field. I decided to focus on the plants rather than carlos because the branches were right infront of me and they seemed more intresting.This picture also keeps you focus on whats happening in the back because the branches arent blocking carlos in the back, instead they help you sort of focus more on him also. The contrast is great we have all sort of gray sclaes;we have really dark medium and light. Your eye stays attracted to what goin on because of the contrst thats going on with the type of shirt carlos is wearing,because it creates different shapes even though they're blurred. the branches also create different shapes and they're also more in focus and you can see everything really clear. Next time i think it would be better if i would have made Carlos come closer to the camera and still focus on the plants but this time Carlo's image would be more clear and also his outline. for depth of fiel next time im going to try to have the person dats not in focus come more closer that way its still more clear but still blurry. In the end this image was sucessful for depth of field because i did blur well and the branches really did come in focus and the contrast is great.
