At first I thought this project would be very easy, but after closely examining the questions I had no clue who I really was. This project caused me a lot of stress from finding what I would have my movie be about and why it was so important to me, but when I finally realized what I would make t about, the project became painless. I decided I would make my video about my fashion designing and modeling that I did when I was little, and it was great to look back at old photos of myself doing something I loved, and this project actually helped to inspire me for my design for this years fashion show. This was my favorite assignment not only because it was about something I love, but also because I overcame the stress that I had initially and created what I think is a great final project.<br />

My favorite memory is when we went to the Cumberland County Fair, not only because I got to leave school for the day, but because it was an amazing opportunity to take photos in a different setting and bond with my classmates. I also really enjoyed when we learned about photoshop, because coming into this class I had no clue how to use photoshop, and that is a skill I will always remember, although it was very frustrating to learn, I know it was worth it. My final favorite moment from this semester was our first photo shoot where we worked with the compositional strategies that I now know by heart. It was a super fun shoot because we all got silly props and took photos outside for the whole class. I know that I will always remember not only the skills we learned in class which I will continue to use, but the people who made the semester so memorable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424793242971780338.post-67676705813008247812014-01-21T08:18:00.001-08:002014-01-21T08:18:37.135-08:00Who Am I Video<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/a/yarmouthschools.org/file/d/0B75gBUbfHsnGUGZkMGNfZ1VsQjA/preview" width="640" height="385"></iframe>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424793242971780338.post-47081995167886933212014-01-08T08:43:00.001-08:002014-01-08T08:43:33.564-08:00Pollution in China<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I was really impressed that Lu Guang took some photos that showed the full picture, and some that showed very in-depth personal scenes. I think that the balance of both of these types of photos is what I think creates effective photojournalism. I am also amazed at how well he captured every part of the problem, not only showing the people who suffered, but the lands as well. Guangs work made me think and gave me a very in-depth idea of the pollution problems in China using only photographs.</span></div>

These photos are amazing to me because they are so in depth and make you want to become part of the solution to the problem because of the dark and sad mood they give off. Before I looked at these images I had no clue that pollution was a problem and China, and when I found out I was really horrified. I think that the reason why photojournalism is so inspiring is because it informs people of current events in a more comprehensible and sometimes beautiful way than a text article. </span></span><br />

The first thing I learned and utilized during this project was how to create shadows, which I used on both the girl with the parasol in the front and the boat in the background. I also gained a deeper understanding how to change the colors and the levels of photographs, which I used on almost all of my photos. I didn’t actually have many issues other than trying to blend certain images together, which I fixed with creative problem solving. Altogether, I think I learned so much from the project not only about photoshop but also about computer arts as a whole.</span></div>

When I took the photo all I could do was smell the lemon in this small sliver of pie, my mouth began to water and still does when I look at this photo. The pie was very fluffy and light, and jiggled with even the slightest of movements. When I took this shot I thought about how the color of the pie complemented the colors in the mug behind it. </div>

Its tangled branches and twisted roots grew larger and larger just as I did<br />

When I was taking this photo I was reading the Sherlock Holmes story, The Hounds of the Baskervilles, in which Sherlock Holmes has to pay attention to extreme details to solve the mystery of the hounds. When I read this I thought it would be interesting to take a photo that showed the detail of this book, because the stories in it pertain to the smallest of details. This also photo also shows two of the necklaces I was wearing at the time, which also have many minuscule details in them, but they are out of focus because I thought it would make a much more powerful image if it was just the book. I really enjoy this image because it has such attention to detail that you can even see the indentation of the words on the spine.</div>

This style is credited to Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque are said to be creators of the art movement. Cubist Artwork focuses on two dimensional plane, which throws away the old ideas of light and dark values to for shadow and realism. The movement also features the subject as fragmented objects with many sides being seen at same time, which is not how they would normally be seen in nature.</span></div>

Some of his works include graphic art, portrait work, paintings, set and costume design and photo collages. In his photo collages, he shows multiple angles at the same time that should not be together which is one of the main features of the cubist movement. Hockney may have been inspired by the cubist period because many of his photo collages and paintings do not use shadows or light, which give it the appearance of a flat, two dimensional plane.</span></span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424793242971780338.post-2936262498938574652013-09-25T09:21:00.001-07:002013-09-25T09:21:12.243-07:00Famous Portraits<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

His photos also feature many contrasting shades that make the subjects and overall photos much stronger. I chose this photo because I really liked the strong contrast between the woman’s skin and the elephants, which made her stand out. The elephants not only made a very interesting prop, but also a great item for contrast to make a more dynamic photograph.</span></div>

Taken at different angles and some taken with busy backgrounds that give context and story to the photograph.

Some photos shot like candids where person is in the middle of an action. I chose this photo because I found the color scheme very interesting and I liked how they used the portrait strategy where you play with the eye contact of the subject, in this instance the subject is looking at a book instead of the camera.</span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424793242971780338.post-2661373622741478992013-09-25T09:07:00.004-07:002013-09-25T09:07:52.483-07:00Portrait Strategies <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.15; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My Five Favorite Portrait Strategies:</span><br />

This photograph was taken in my elementary schools garden for an in class project on the signs of fall. This photo shows the compositional strategy of background blurred, which gives the subject (the flower) all the attention. I chose this photo because I think that not only the composition is strong, but it also has very vivid and beautiful colors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424793242971780338.post-67987537536981169832013-09-23T09:00:00.001-07:002013-09-23T09:35:34.829-07:00Compositional Strategies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This photograph of a sheep shows the composition strategy of rule of thirds, which features an uncentered subject to diverge the eyes from the center. I chose this subject because I was looking for an almost humorous shot, and I think I achieved this. I chose to upload this photo because I believe it shows strong compositional strategy and also is a cute and funny photo of a sheep.<br />
