Scary Effects

Vampire

Alien

Out of all of them my favorite was the Vampire because it was a way to make was pretty easy to do and making all the blood was fun. We learned how to use the different brushes and we learned how to do make our layers come together. It was difficult to make the layer blend together into one. I did well on making it all come together in the end, and making it look kinda real lol.

Photographic Effects

Out of all the tricks I liked cross process the most because you got to use alot of different things at once to help bring your picture out more. I discovered how to make the light in my picture turn different colors.

Portraits

I think I was most successful with the artistic portait because it was easy to show emotion. For the artistic portait I had my model show most of her emotion through her face, as the light from the sum came down on her.

Contact Sheet

This is a picture of all the tricks used in this first part of the class. Out of all of the tricks i liked MACRO the best because it gives me a closer look at life and a better look up close at things.

Compositional Trick #8 Fill in Flash

Fill in Flash can be used to show the picture better and can be used to create a darker picture when not used. It can show different types of lighting that you wouldnt normally see in with a regular picture.

Compsitional Trick #7 Lighting

Lighting can be used to show the mood on someones face and give you a deeper feeling and respect for the person in the picture, it also can tell a story and it can set different emotions.

Compositional Trick #6 Framing

Framing is a tool used to have the picture go straight to the point of focus. It is used to narrow the things in the picture that would most of the time take you off focus from the main idea.

Compositional Trick #5 Extreme Angles

Extreme Angles are angles that change your point of view from being really small or really tall. Its another way to view the world and the surrounding around you at a whole different level.

Compositional Trick #4 Simplicity

I didn't really like this picture that I took I think i could of did a better job. But it was kind of hard to me to find a simple idea I think i thought too much about the background being simple and not the picture.

Compositional trick #3 MACRO

Macro is a mode in the camera that lets you get a close up view of things like Flowers, Bugs, and little things that you pass everyday. It makes the background blurry to help pop the picture out more.

Compostional Trick #2 Leading Lines

Leading Lines is a way to use the lines that are around you to lead you to the main object of the picture. It can be a way to get the person to be more interested and better to understand.

Compositional Trick #1 Rule of Thirds

Rule of thirds is when you set the camera up so it has a 3 x 3 setting or 9 boxes. this is used to get a better angle and not always have your pictures center and right in the middle. When you have your camera in the Rule of Thirds it makes it so the position of the camera is more angled and makes it more intresting to look at.
