Intro To Photoshop: Editing Photos

-

 



Todays lesson focused mainly on the different types of selection tools in photoshop. Before starting the task we went through all of the different types of selection tools to see how they all varied and what they are best used for. Selection tools are really good for isolating a certain part of an image to edit or deleted separately to the whole image. Once you are done with a selection you can click ctrl + D to deselect the object in the image. 


With first image the goal was to select the dress only, so that we could create a clipping mask and change the colour of it. This is used a lot in the fashion industry to show different coloured versions of the same product quickly. We firstly use the quick selection tool to roughly select as much of the dress as we could. It did not matter if you slightly went over or under the line as this would be fixed after. With the selection tool still selected, you click on select and mask on the top of the screen. This isolates the selected image, represented by the red, allowing you to then use the paintbrush tool to draw in or erase any edges on the image. Once the image has been cleared up you then go to the adjustment menu in the layers panel and select colour balance. This then allows you to change the colour of the dress instead of the whole image.  





To practise using this tool when then completed a second image. 









The first image was intended  to show the forest path in the doorway of the second image, without damaging both the images. To do this we created a mask layer on the door image,  found in the layers panel next to the image adjustment tool. Masks work in black and white, meaning anything drawn with a black brush will be see through and anything drawn with white will be solid. You can change the brush's opacity and type to get different results. I then also changed the colour of the woman's dress using the previous method. 








The final task was intended to bring all of the skills together, creating an image which is layered and edited. I was happy with using the tools and so was able to comfortable complete the task.

Major Project Submission Post: Reflective Statement + Art Of

  Reflective Statement For Major Project Overall I am really pleased with the outcome of the animation. This is mainly due to me feeling that I was able to include everything I set out to do, all the way from the beginning of Premise. It has been a very long process, with different routes taken in order to bring me to the final product. At times I felt I had set myself a far too large goal to achieve and was unsure that I was able to complete the project within the timeframe. However I kept going and I am proud to say I completed everything to the best of my ability. I believe the key to succeeding in the completion of this project was good time management. Had I not completed certain section in time for the next then I would have run out of time nearer the end of the project.  At the end of the Minor project, I had completed the redesign of my animation story and characters and applied my ideas to create a Pre-viz which depicted the events of the second iteration of the animatic.

From Script To Screen: Investigating How Shutter Island Tricks The Audience

-

 In order to understand how to portray my character in a more believable way, I decided to look at similar stories in which the character is an unreliable narrator. A prime example of this is the film Shutter Island.  Shutter Island Plot Summary The film is centred around detective Teddy Daniels as he investigates the mysterious Shutter Island in order to locate a missing patient, Rachel Solando. Teddy is trying to deal with the murder of his wife and has reason to believe Andrew Ladus is on the island as well, the man who murdered her. As the film progresses so does the mystery of not only the missing patient but also the island itself. As Teddy continues his investigation he becomes more and more suspicious of those around him, to the point in which he turns out of control in an attempt to escape their capture. The film ends with the realization that Teddy and Andrew are one in the same and Teddy was submitted to the institute after murdering his wife. The guilt from his time served

Character Bible: Elliot Goh

  Main Characters Man from future  Names for character: Elliot Goh (E.GO)      Man is vain and has a lot of money. For this reason, I feel like he would spend a large amount of his money on himself. This could be by purchasing expensive accessories and clothing as well as spending it on his physical appearance (tattoos, Botox and hair transplant). His deepest desire is to be looked upon as a god, which is how he views the superhero who is protecting his city. He is very envious of the hero as he knows no matter how much money he has he will never be able to compete with the supernatural. His jealousy has corrupted his thoughts and he begins obsessing over the origin of the hero. He throws all of his money into researching superheroes and time travel and dedicates his life researching about every single sighting of the hero.  I want him to look as physically muscular as humanly possible, in order to get across the idea that this is a man who has everything and will try everything in ord
