Research and plans for film Poster

  1. Is the movie title prominently featured? Is the text easy to read? Yes the title of the film is featured on the poster but it doesn't really pop out at you. The text is alright to read its not that easy but you can read it.
  2. Are the main actors shown? If so, which ones? None of the main characters are shown on this poster accept for there name at the bottom in small writing.
  3. What is the design of the movie poster? Does it accurately reflect the mood and tone of the film? The poster is designed to make you wonder what is behing that bit of material, it is quite a dark poster and it gives you the idea that the thing behind the material is dark and sinister and not a character that you don't want to meet.
  4. What other images are included? What do you notice about the framing of the images? There is no other image on the poster but it is framed around the eye in the centre of the poster.
  5. What text is shown on the poster? Is there a catchy slogan? If so, what does it tell you about the movie's story? The name of the film is on the poster and there is a slogan in smaller writing at the top of the picture. The slogan says 'Whats eating you?' which tells us that there is something that is oing to try and eat someone.
  6. Is there any other important information included on the poster? No there isn't just peoples names at the bottom.
  7. Why do/don't you think this movie poster is persuasive? I don't  think it is that persuasive because it doesn't tell you anything about the film really.

Research and Plan for film poster

  1. Is the movie title prominently featured? Is the text easy to read? The text is easy to read and the text is big so we can read the title and it is good the way the 'GO' sort of slants as if it is to much of a strain to Just go with it.
  2. Are the main actors shown? If so, which ones? Yes the main actors are shown both there names and a picture of them. Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler are great in this movie.
  3. What is the design of the movie poster? Does it accurately reflect the mood and tone of the film? The poster has the two main actors at the front of the poster and you automatically know that the film is going to be a comedy because it has Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler in it. It is a very bright and on a beach so you know that its not going sinister or evil.
  4. What other images are included? What do you notice about the framing of the images? Another actress is in the background walking away from them but it looks as if she is coming between them. The main actors and actresses are in the main shot.
  5. What text is shown on the poster? Is there a catchy slogan? If so, what does it tell you about the movie's story? The Title of the film and the date of the release of the film and the actors names with a slogan. 'Sometimes a guy's best wingman, is a wingwoman.' The slogan tells us that instead of a bloke helping another bloke to get a date its a woman helping a bloke.
  6. Is there any other important information included on the poster? The poster is catchy and really simple so people can remember it and its not all crawded.
  7. Why do/don't you think this movie poster is persuasive?I think this movie poster is persuasive because the actors that are shown on the poster and you know it is going to be a funny film and the picture is very bright and sunny because they are on a beach and the slogan makes you curious as to what she is going to help him with.

Studio Photography

We were in the studio and we actually got to see a proper set up of how a studio would look like.




The diagram is how the room would be layed out, you would have your Key light, which is the main source of light and then there is your fill light which fills in any shadows on the other side of a face or object and then you have a back light which can light the back of someones head or it can be used on its own to create a hailo effect.



These are some of the pictures we took and how they turn't out using the lights.

Pringles Camera Obscure

camara obscura practice



In this lesson we used a pringle tube to make a camara obscure. first of  all we cut the tube in half and placed some tracing paper where it was cut, then we used masking tape to put it back together again and pin pricked a hole into the metal bottom of the tube. once that was done we put more tape around the tubing to make sure it doesnt move out of place and then we laced it up against the window where it was very bright and we could see everything out of the window but upside down.It was ver sereal.

Digital Photography

1) Can you find Image evidence of the technique? - 

 


2) When was it first discovered and by whom? -  Digital photography was first invented in 1969 by Willard Boyle and George E. Smith at AT&T Bell Labs.

3)
What is special about the technique? - This technique could take a picture of a moment and capture it so you could keep that moment, no one coould create this before and the picture actually last and be able to be in sunlight without the picture being effected.

4)
How does this technique work? Can you find or describe the processes needed to make it work? Maybe illustrate how it is made. -it is a form of photography that uses an array of light sensitive sensors to capture the image focused by the lens, as opposed to an exposure on light sensitive film. The captured image is  stored as a digital file and then digitally  processed e.g.colour correction, sizing, cropping.

5)
Can you comment how important this technique has been for the history of photography. For example was it popular and is it still used today?. Digital photography was very important in history and it was very popular because it was a new way for people to take photos of memorable moments and it is still used to this day many people capturing fast motion pictures and capturing any moment.

Colour photography

1) can you find Image evidence of the technique? - 










2) When was it first discovered and by whom? - 
James Clerk Maxwell is credited with the first colour photograph in 1861. His technique is still the basis of colour photography today. The first color plate made from Autochrome,reached the market in 1907. It was based on a 'screen-plate' filter made of dyed dots of potato starch and was invented by French Lumière brothers.n 1935, American Kodak introduced the first modern (integrated tri-pack) color film, Kodachrome, based on three colored emulsions

3) What is special about the technique? - what is so special about this technique is that it can show the true colours oif where it was taken and instead of having black and white.. it is very clever and is amazing on how much it is used. almost every picture you will see now is in colour and you can edit them into different colours... 

4) How does this technique work? Can you find or describe the processes needed to make it work? Maybe illustrate how it is made. - the inventer Maxwell showed that if you take 3 B&W slides taken through a Red, Green and Blue filters, then project those same slides back through the three filters you get a colour picture. the three colours are dyer layers within the film, there is a B&W layer that takes the photograph and then acts as an contatc print...


5) Canyou comment how important this technique has been for the history of photography. For example was it popular and is it still used today? - this technique is so important for everyone now. it has taken a big part in peoples lifes and now they live around colour photography. it has been used ever since it got invented and up to this day is still used massivly.

muybridge's motion







We were trying to recreate Muybridge's motion were we set up 4 camera's the exact same way and took shots of the motions going past the camera. So that we each captured a different moment in the motion.

Daguerreotype

Can you find Image evidence of the technique? 
 When was it first discovered and by whom? It was first discovered in 1829 and was found by Louis J. M. Daguerre.

What is special about the technique? The daguerreotype was different from others because it was done on a mirror and you could only get one copy of it so it had to be right.


How does this technique work? Can you find or describe the processes needed to make it work? Maybe illustrate how it is made. The people that would be having there picture done would have to stay very still, and the image was not allowed to be expossed to certain light for a while and was then transfered onto a plate and then was dipped in hyposulphite of soda, often called "fixer" or "hypo".
 
 
 Can you comment how important this technique has been for the history of photography. For example was it popular and is it still used today? It was very important and after a while there were many Daguerreotype studios and many people came from many different places just o have there portrait done. Some photographers use the Daguerreotype but it is not that popular especially after it was replaced in the late 1850's by emulsion plates.
