369 assignment

Today I will be talking about this video that I made and the link is below. So first one weakness that I found is that my friends foot is shaking which isn't the best also that my friends foot stepped on the ear of one of the figures. what I think is a good part of the video is how the figures faces looked scared and the feeling that we wanted the video to be about was the feeling of fear. The music really affected the emotional experience because the figures faces look like their scared and the music was really suspenseful so there is alot of anticipation in the end like are they going to be squished or not.












here's the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86pOaugQaN8)

stop motion



I will be talking about this stop motion video that I found on youtube and it is an effective film because they made it look really real when you watch it and in the end of the video they shoe a behind the scenes clip of them making the video and it was like a full movie set that was going into it. Also lighting affects the photo because the lighting was in the middle so you can easily see each individual post-it note which is really cool. Also the camera angle was in a really good spot because at the angle the camera was pointed at you can see all of the landscape when it looked like he was driving. also if you look closely look at the computer screen you can see that he is watching himself.

   Digital surrealism project

The intentions of my photo were to show how bullying starts and continuously affects more and more people and that bullying is continuously affecting people. Also my photo hits my concept by showing that Robbie starts the bullying and the next person bullies another person and continues that pattern.

The things that I personally dont like about my photo is that the background is blurry and that totally ruins the photo and I wish I can retake that photo but I cant so thats sad, also what I dont like is that if you look at Robbie in the photo it looks like he is standing on his toes because when I took the photo I was using a different angle than the others. Now what I like about the photo was the turnout of Robbie, Ethan, Jr, Diana and Crawford because they turned out pretty good in the print so I was satisfied with that also the shadows came out really good in the print.

What I did to the original photos of the people in the photo was that I cut then out from the cove background because I only needed them selves in the photo. Also I placed them in that order because the sunlight is coming from the top right corner so it appears that their shadows are coming exactly from that corner.

chess piece drawing

  this is a scanned photo of my chess piece drawing.


this is a photograph that I took outside of my chess piece drawing.



this is a photo of my chess piece drawing on a copy stand.



 There are three different ways to photograph a drawing that I learned today and i'm going to talk about them. So the first technique that I used was that I scanned the drawing and I think it wasn't the best technique but it was ok because the scan came out a bit too bright because the scanner was too small to house the whole drawing and the cover would cut the page so we had to use a book to cover it so that might be why it is too bright. the next technique that I used was the outside photo and I personally like it more because it ended up to be not too bright and not too dark so I think that method was the best. the last technique that I used was using a photo stand to take the photo and that one to me was the worst because it shined too much on the left side and also it did the same thing on some other shinny spots.

Now to talk about the drawing in this drawing I used a pattern in this the pattern is thin line then thick line and continuously used that pattern. In the pattern in the thick line there is a value scale in it and it start's dark around the edge and continuously gets lighter until it reaches the chess piece. I was trying to create a good value scale in the background and it creates movement by leading the viewers eye from the edge of the paper to the chess piece. Also what leads the viewers eye to the chess piece is the background (the lines) because they are all progressively moving towards the chess piece. Also what is interesting in the drawing is that the circle is encasing the chess piece.

This is a photo that I took of my friend and I am supposed to explain why it's awesome. So I have added the compositional technique of leading lines because the lines on the wall lead to my friends face. Also I have added depth of field by making the begging of the bricks blurry and making the space around him blurry. Another technique that I added is the rule of thirds because my friends head is positioned at the top right intersecting point of the rule of thirds grid. What I added to this photo in photoshop was that I enhanced the colour of the brick wall because the before colour of the wall was duller so I chose to do that. If I had more time with this photo i would of added the rule of thirds because his face is to me a bit too close to the middle so I would of moved him closer to the top right corner of the image and thats the only thing that I would of added to make the image much better

the rule of thirds


 power points of the rule of three                                              













a picture including the rule of three grid


Hey people for this blogpost I have to explain the rule of thirds to you so here it goes. The rule of thirds is a rule in which all photographers use in their photo's the rule of thirds is when a photo is divided into thirds and there are four intersecting points (example on top) on the grid and as photographers we have to try to position the focal point of the photo to be in the place of one of those power points or in one of the squares of the grid. Also if your a photographer when your taking a photo and have the rule of thirds in mind you should position the camera to have the focal point one of the four focal points.




     This photo is a great example of the rule of thirds because the two birds are both positioned at intersecting points and the intersecting points are the focal points of the picture.

blog post 3

                                                                       

Hi people this is a photo I took when my family and I were having a trip and then I took this picture. One element of design that this photo is capturing is organic shape because the faded rainbow has lots of curves in it. Also in the background there are lots of jagged edges in the rocks. Another design element that this photo is displaying is visual texture because the jagged rocks and the waterfall makes the viewers think the you can easily touch and feel the rocks but you cannot do that. The design elements of this photo impacts my experience of the photo because to me the design element of organic shape makes me feel more happy because rainbows make more people feel happy.
