Grady's Photos

First our group started off with creating an idea to shoot.  We were going to shoot a stop motion video, but we ended up creating an add for Neuro gum.  We then started brainstorming more ideas about what we would do in this commercial we had many ideas we thought were good but they ended up being hard to shoot and made no sense when we put the clips together.  After some feedback and watching some other commercials we went back out to shoot our video.  After a couple attempts and some what we thought was perfect editing we got more feedback and it was not as good as we thought it was.  We then went out one more time to fix and re-shoot clips and it is great. I learned about lumetri colors and how to make a video look normal through reshooting clips. 

       First thing I did was go to the photo room and had a quick lesson on how to use the lights and how to angle them to make the lighting not too bright and not too dark.  Three of my classmates used the same group of photos, so i didn't take the pictures but my classmates did.  These photos were then added to photoshop.  The first thing I did in there was make a background layer, after that I did that I had to add the photos to the background using two more layers.  I didn't want them to be all tangled up/overlapping so I I used the brush tool to fade the upper ones legs.  I added a text box to put the word committed and I used the edit-transformation-scale to make it the size I wanted.  Then I went to google and found the seawolf logo, fitchburg state colleges logo and their court and put those in.  After that I just did a little brush tool fade on the court to make it blend into the background and just did a little bit of fina...

 

Examples- I like this one because it is a progressive shot, it shows the kids progress as he jumps into the water.  This one I thought was cool because the guy is helping himself jump rope, it gives me a couple good Ideas.  I thought this one was funny and interesting, she has three different clothes on and its like a movie scene. This one is very cool because she is doing a full yoga class by herself. I actually don't think this is Multiplicity but I think I could definitely do something like this but with different shots of myself.  My Shots This one is cool because it looks like the subject is in like a time lapse, kind of like step by step what he's doing.  I also really like this shot because it looks like the bench of a basketball game after someone scores and I thought it would be funny to make the guy all the way to the left (The Coach) yelling at the players.  I like this one because It looks like 4 siblings walking together and I thought it looked good...

Why Photographers use Frame Inside of a Frame -  They use Frame Inside of a Frame because it basically draws the attention of the viewer to the subject inside of the frame.  Examples  I like this picture because it is literally using a frame to capture an image inside of another photo.   I like this one because instead of a simple frame, the spiral stairs make it look like there are many more frames inside of the photos frame.  This one would look really cool if there was a subject at the bottom of the stairs.   This is another example of multiple frames but this one was cool because of the two window frames and there is a subject that completes the photo. I like this one because it uses both reflection and frame inside of a frame.  This is a cool picture of a reflection that is framing a bridge.  I like this photo because it uses a shadow frame and it also looks like the subject is a shadow aswell which is pretty nice. Me  I like t...

I like this photo because there is a reflection on the puddle on the ground and it has the subject of a bird.  This one is cool because it uses the shadow to create a whole different shape.  This one uses light and probably like a pan with holes in it to make a whole different creative image.   This image uses a mirror to cover a person's face but it also shows another really cool image of the mountains. I don't know how the photographer did this but this is another really cool image that turns a chess piece into an actual horse shadow.  This one uses light and something to make a person's face look very intense and kind of scary.   This photo uses the suns reflection on the water to create a cool sunset photo.   I like this photo I took because it has a very small reflection but it looks really nice because of the background and shady kind of look it has. I like this one because the angle and the lighting made the subjects stretch out. I tho...
