Final Images

Evaluation
I have decided to change my original idea from basing my final photography images on fashion and architectual photograpy to beauty photography. I based my photogrphy on the magazine 'Beauty' which is a magazine based on female beauty.
To create these images my model had to have clear skin without any artifical products such as make-up, I then had to set up lighting which is also known as clamshell lighting also used in beauty photography for head shots, this type of photography uses to light sources and a reflecter, you put one of the light sources above and pointed downwards, and the other light source lower down and pointing upwards. The end effect is that there are reduced shadows from any imperfections such as reducing wrinkles and scars from the models face.
I believe that my final images went rather well once my model got use to being infront of the camera, this meant the shoot went longer than expected, this is because this was her first time infront of the camera.
If i had another chance to redoo my final images, I would include another models to indicate skin tone and beauty is all different.

Light Painting

These images where created by using a blacked out room and a torch light, firstly you change the camera to manual mode and F/4.6 also lowering the shutter speed (allowing light into the shutter) so that you have time to draw your painting with the torch or this could be done by timing your photos. 

Rule of Thirds

These images are taken through an object which creates division between the objects through the lines which adds framing to an image. 

Portraits

These images where taken in a dark room with a spotlight based on the model and a reflector for appropriate lighting on the models face, these images where taken with the Cannon 600D using F/2.8 and exposure time of 1/8000 and an ISO of 400.

Shadow

The effect on these images where created by holding up a patterned object towards the models face with a spot-light directed at the model. These images where taken on the Canon 600D, with F/1.8, and with the exposure time set to 1/320 and the ISO set to 800.

Frozen Motion/ Fast Shutter Speed

To create these unusual stills, capturing splash photography was mainly focused on the speed of the shutter speed to capture the individual. To create these images I used the Cannon 600D, using the Time Variant aperture 'Tv' mode; I then changed the ios to 400 and the Fs.d to 5.6 which controls the amount of light entering the lens and I also changed the exposure time to 1/800 which is the length of time the shutter is open.

Inspired By

Original Image

Replacer 

The original image that I have decided to use from a reality television series 'Americas Next Top Model' taken by a well known photographer Nigel Barker. I was inspired as I believe it accentuates a models features and it also brings out a hidden meaning, telling a story. These pictures where taken with a Cannon 600D with an aperture of 5.6 and the shutter speed at 1/80 which allows more light into the lens allowing a higher exposure. I also adjusted the ISO to 200 to 400, this added more light to the image.

Frozen Motion/ Fast Shutter Speed

 This image was taken using a shutter speed of 1/50

These images where used of a shutter speed of 1/200

Shutter Speed

Shutter Zoom

This shot was taken by holding the camera still or using a tripod using a slow shutter speed, this is used to prevent extra movement to your picture. Whilst capturing your image you have to twist the zoom lens whilst taking your picture to create. This gives smooth lines and a still image in the centre.

Mode: Aperture Priority F-Stop: f/9 Exposure: 1/25 Aperture: 5 ISO: 100

 

Blurred Motion
This shot is taken by having your camera in a still position which will keep the back still in focus and the car in blurred motion, which indicates fast movement.
F-Stop: f/4 Exposure: 1/60 Aperture: 4 ISO: 200

  

Panning
Panning is when you are moving your camera in the direction of the moving object this makes the object appear as if it is still and the background is moving in a fast motion.
F-Stop: f/4 Exposure: 1/60 Aperture: 4 ISO: 200

Mid Evaluation

As a group we decided to create a pre- recorded insert about affordable fashion for young students who attend City of Westminster college between the ages of 16-19. Whilst starting our pre- recorded insert production we where aware that many students around the college with unique fashion sense where unaware with how much they spent on each item of clothing but they said they where highly influenced by celebrities and what they wear, which includes people like 'Wiz Khalifa' and 'Pharell Williams' and many more. This gave us an idea to incorporate music alongside fashion to make our insert more interesting and exciting to watch and would relate more to our target audience.

Insert Proposal

Proposal

Are you into fashion?

Different fashion icons influence most students who attend ‘City of Westminster College’ such as mainstream celebrities like Rihanna, Chris Brown and Kanye West who has anticipated in creating an A-list fashion line for celebrities. As a group we will be interviewing several students around the college asking them about the latest affordable fashion and analysing their outfit (where they got each item of clothing from and prices).  

Zoetrope

I am going to explain the process of using the zoetrope method.

Zoetrope is a cylinder optical toy with numerous slits with a series of images on the inner surface, when reviewed the cylinder rotating, it gives an impression of the images moving in a continues motion, scanning through the slits keeps the pictures from simply blurring together so that the user sees a rapid succession of images producing the illusion of motion, the equivalent of a moton picture. When looking over the cylinder optical toy instead of looking through the slits you cannot see the pattern.

CWC INDENT 

Evaluation

In class sue gave us the task to create a ident specific for City of Westminster College, our group consisted of Raymond, Alessandra, Shaniz and Me (Jordan).

To begin our ident for our college we had to begin with critical planning of initial ideas of what we wanted to include. We then created 3 mind maps of all our ideas and then deciding on the best one to use. I believe that I managed my time very constructively as I tried to keep myself busy at all times and asking members of my group if they need help whenever signs of struggle appeared. I rate myself a 4 as I was absent once throughout this task meaning the production process of our ident was slowed down. 

I therefore rated my group 5 out of 5 as they where always ready and keen to keep on working, even when I was absent they filled me in with any idea changes that was made on that day and also asked for my input. Our college ident very much related to the design brief as we included different areas of work that the college educates, and also including the college name and logo.

In our animation we included the clay mation technique which is a technique we learnt how to use and evaluate in class, so we decided to include a morph interacting with a college student so that our ident relates to not only a younger target audience but an older target audience, we received feedback from our fellow classmates and said that they 'Really enjoyed the ident' but we also received negative feedback as the morph put his middle finger up which is very inappropriate and could be changed by including another shot of the morph or blanking out the morph hand.

What I would do differently? The things that i would do differently is include more areas of animation techniques to showcase our talents and make the college ident even more interesting to watch and eye catchy. We also needed to include a shot which appears to be missing which is the transition the the classroom door to the desk as comments on the video, this was addressed. I believe as a group we worked very well and I would defiantly chose the same people again to work with.
