Analogue Camera

I did this photoshoot as I wanted to see how the analogue images portrayed the streets of Wem. The final images came out green because of the type of film i used. This could be fixed in photoshop. 

Grotesque Eating - Individual Task

I think this image came out good. I think the lighting and angle have made my image look like the original picture. the final image was not as messy as i desired it to be. This was because we did the photoshoot in school, if i was to do this again, I would take the images somewhere which could be made messier.
I used a white background, this was so I could easily edit the background in photoshop afterwards to get the gradient effect. I used 3 lights and one umbrella. I used the umbrella to soften the light and make it a better final image.

Emulation - Beth Galton 'Foods In Half'

I think my image turned out good. I wanted to emulate an image from Beth Galtons 'Foods In Half'.

For this experiment, I used a black board to put the doughnuts on, and a black board for the background. I used one flash to light up the image to the correct colour. I think my image was very successful as I feel that I captured the naturalness and the realism that the original picture did not have. 

HDR

HDR is a method that aims to add more "dynamic range" to photographs, where dynamic range is the ratio of light to dark in a photograph. Instead of just taking one photo, HDR uses three photos, taken at different exposures. You can then use image editing software to put those three images together and highlight the best parts of each photo.

AV and TV

AV is used to take images which have the background is blurred. It allows the camera to have aperture priority, this means you can adjust the aperture according to the situation you are in, Then the camera will automatically adjust the ISO and the shutter speed to match the aperture to make the picture a good exposure.

My Final Image

TV is used to give your camera shutter priority. Shutter priority is used when taking images of moving subjects. The camera then sets the other settings to match with the shutter speed. To make the image as best as possible.

Shutter speed refers to the length of time that you actually take the picture for. This is another method of controlling the amount of light that hits your sensor. A fast shutter speed allows less light to be captured, a slower speed will do the opposite. Faster shutter speeds are used for freezing images in their moment of time. Slower speeds can allow for moving items to “drag” across your image. You can do some really cool things these days with long exposures (very, very slow shutter speeds).

My Final Piece

My Exam Tests

This is the image that I am taking inspiration and what I am trying to get my final image to look like. I feel like it covers the idea of safety well, as it is showing that smoking around children is unsafe. It shows the viewer that smoking around a child is just as harmful as putting a bag over their head.  

Drawing the smoke;

drawing the smoke onto a black piece of card did not work well. This is because the 'smoke' did not look real enough

Using real smoke;

using real smoke worked a lot better than drawing the smoke, this is because it looked more natural and didn't look as fake

Final Piece;

This is my final piece, I edited the picture of Isaac, and made the background darker to make him stand out more. I used real smoke to make the smoky bag, I zoomed in onto different parts of the smoke, to make it look more realistic. I think the final image is good because firstly, the background is not fully black, so it doesn't look as edited.
