Expectations vs. Reality With A Puppy
I had two ideas for this assignment when we were given it, ‘A Day In A Life Of A Puppy’ or ‘Expectation Vs. Reality With A Puppy’. I ended up doing the second one, Expectations Vs. Reality. Additional work that I added that wasn’t from the original proposal was adding her growing stages at the end. The content of my video is exactly how it sounds, expectations of what you would think a puppy would do vs. the reality of what a puppy actually does. My video doesn’t really have a story or meaning, Just a fun video of my puppy doing good things and being bad.
New skills I have learned while creating this video are patience especially, the rendering takes forever and it's a lot of work to just get everything how you desire. I also learned more skills on premiere like creating a blank page thing, they call it a ‘color matte’. I think my strengths of my video would be that I understand how to use premiere for the most part and can pull together a video that looks pretty good in a short amount of time. I think my weakness of my video would be slacking a little with video footage, the video could be longer with more clips for Expectations vs. Reality. I think the music to the video is really successful, how I had the expectation using calmer music and more chaotic music for the reality part of the video. I unfortunately ran into plenty of challenges during this project which may have been the computers fault but it caused a stepback. The PC I was working on liked to crash on me at least twice a week, sometimes making me have to redo what I had done because it didn’t save or just wouldn’t turn back on. Some challenges I had encountered with premiere and my video was getting Mazee to do what I needed her to do to get the video clips or just getting the videos imported correctly was difficult.
Double Exposure Assignment
HDR Photo
HDR Photo
To achieve this image I used a tripod and took the same picture plenty of times with changing the shutter speeds. I knew when this assignment was assigned that I wanted to photograph the purple fields. I happen to come across some yellow dandelions next to the pureness of the fields and thought it was very pretty.
Down below are the 3 photos I merged together using Photoshop to get the outcome I did.
Panorama Photo
Panorama Photo
For this photo I did the same thing as the HDR photos. I used a tripod and slowly, after 1 picture was taken, moved the camera and tripod to the right snapping shots after every move to create the sense of taking a Pano on your iphone. Purple is quickly becoming my favorite color, the fields everywhere are vibrant purple and I wanted to photograph them.
Down below are the 5 photos that created this panorama.
Animation project
abbie&kaitlynstopmotion.mp4Play-Doh Man Stop Motion
When Abbie and I started this assignment, we had a completely different idea, but it didn't work out AT ALL. We quickly decided we needed another plan and started brainstorming. We came up with building a man out of Play-Doh. After watching what we had started we decided it needed a climax and an ending. The ideas we came up with were to either roll the man out with a rolling pin or squash him, we settled on squashing him with a shoe.
This took us many weeks of setting up the camera and figuring out the lighting. Keeping the placement the same and getting the focus on the camera to be correct was definity the most challenging part of this assignment. Overall, we are happy with how it turned out and think it is funny. We had lots of fun while creating this stop motion animation.

Large Depth of Field
Large Depth of Field
This picture is considered large depth of field because unlike the shallow depth of field everything is in focus, the background and the plant.
Shallow Depth of Field
Shallow Depth of Field
Shallow depth of field affects this photo by everything in the background being blurred out and fuzzy while the plant that is closer is clean and in focus.
Forced Perspective Shot
Forced Perspective Shot
For this forced perspective photo I set the camera on a tripod and set the timer. I crouched down behind the deck to only show my head, while Abbie sat on the deck with her head not showing, to create the sense that my head is Abbies.
Low ISO
Low ISO
This picture has a low ISO. The low ISO affects the picture by how dark it is.
High ISO
High ISO
This photo represents high ISO. High ISO gives you a photo that is too bright.
Movement: 1. Freezing time; a sense of capturing action. 2. The path the viewer's eyes take while reading a picture.
Rhythm: Typically one element that catches the eyes movement across the whole photo.
Symmetric Balance: Both sides of the image are symmetrical (identical).
Radial Balance: Elements that are equally distributed around one focal point.
Movement
To create this image I had my sister squeeze a water bottle to show the sense of movement.
For this photo my sister swirled water in a wine glass while I took continuous photos of the motion being made which left me with the result of freezing in time, where the water looks like it's standing up.
Rhythm
The oreo's here create a sense of rhythm. The line through the halves of the oreo's catch the eyes view point tracing them to go across the whole picture.
The stairs here show rhythm by the sense that they are repeating and going down creating the viewers eyes to follow the path.
Symmetric Balance
This is Boo! He was my model for this symmetrical balance picture. This image is a symmetrical balance because his face and his face in the mirror are symmetrical or the same on both sides.
Same thing with this photo I used my mirror to create a symmetrical balance because the mirror reflects back the same image.
Radial Balance
A tire is radial balance because there is a center and equal objects (or lines in this case) surrounding it.
The middle of the snowflake is the center point and the icicle legs around are equally distributed.
Unity: Unity means various points that are visually in sync and working together to create harmony for a theme.
Variety: Multiple objects that are similar and connect together but not the repeating objects.
Contrast: Placing two or more opposite elements together.
Emphasis: Emphasis is defined as creating a centered interest, giving one object more importance than others.
Unity
This picture has a sense of harmony and visually our hands are spiraled together causing unity.
The photo above is unity because the tools in the photo all sync and go together.
Variety
This is a variety of some cups I have.
This is a variety of writing utensils on this desk.
Contrast
The red lighting and the shadows show depth creating contrast.
The blue marker is the contrast to the orange and yellow markers.
Emphasis
This photo shows the boring grayish siding of the house and a pop of a brownish orange from the leaf creating something we call emphasis.
The red apple is contrasted by the brown leaves behind it letting the apple be the center, first looked at thing, catching your eye.
Color: Color is the pigment detected by the eye in a photo, art piece, or object (unless you’re colorblind) and shown to us in bright, vibrant, dull or pastel colors.
Space (negative shapes): Space is all about depth, showing how far or close something is. Negative space in photography usually has a focal point of an object following the rule of thirds rule and a simple background.
Pattern: Pattern is defined as repetition of something. As long as you have something repeating anything can be a pattern.
Color
I used adobe photoshop to create color in this black and white photo.
The element of art that is shown here is color. I choose to take a picture of this red leaf for the assignment because most of the leaves have all fallen and are dead now but this one was still bright red.
Space (negative shapes)
The tree takes up some space but around the tree is negative space.
There is lots of negative space in this photo with the outlet being the focal point.
Pattern
Every crayon has a circular shape to them and the gaps between them are also all about the same size creating a patter type look.
There is a pattern of books lined up on this bookshelf.
Line: Lines itself can define emotion or create space like defining certain places in a photo or in an art piece. Lines can also add width or height to something as well as texture. They can show where an object starts or ends too.
Shape/form: Lines formed and closed together are how shapes are created. Shapes are 2D and flat with limited width and height. Some may also define it as a change in value of a line. Form is a defined shape that has depth also is 3D. It can be viewed from multiple angles.
Texture: Texture is easily just described as how something feels or the illusion of something looking how it feels.
Line
The element of art used in this photograph is line. The lines are created by the tree branches and the sky is making them pop out.
The lines here are created by these overly long leaves on this plant/bush thing.
Shape/Form
This photo is considered shape/form because the broken tree limb is sorta in the shape of a circle and looking closer at the picture the leaf is in a way the shape of a heart.
This photo is a part of the shape/form element of art because the shape of this spot of tree buried in the ground is kinda in the shape of an oval.
Texture
The element of art used for this photo is texture, to show texture I shot a picture of beaded up water droplets on the windshield of my car.
The texture here is spiky and pokey from the dead thorn bushes.
For this assignment we had to find a photographer that does photography of the topic you chose. Considering Halloween is coming up, I decided to do the pumpkin head and sheet ghosts trend I have seen everywhere. The photographer I choose to take inspiration from is Steelan Tay on Pinterest. The link for her Pinterest page is https://pin.it/7lWSNuf

This week's goal was to get as close as you could to fill all of the negative space.
Went to get food and thought the sauces in the container would work perfectly for this assignment.
Filled the frame with these pretty flowers I found walking out of Walmart.
Filling the frame with the changing leaves on the tree.
This is Stella! I filled the frame as much as I can with her not wanting to take pictures at all so I got one while she was sleeping.
This is Luna! I filled the frame as much as I could with her head but she didn't like her picture being taken.
This week's assignment was to experiment with different camera angles like highs and lows.
HIGH ANGLES
I shot this photo from a parking garage to get a high angle.
For this photo I was on top of a train angling my camera down to one of the other trains.
This picture was taken in the parking garage in a stairwell.
LOW ANGLES
I took this photo crouched down on the ground to get that low angle.
For this photo I was sitting on a couch and Abbie had walked up the stairs to be the main subject in this low angle picture.
Taking this picture was the easiest one I took, The trains are so tall that i just stood on the ground and had a friend climb the ladder on the train car.
Rule of thirds is a technique used in photography to naturally balance objects in the frame.
The main focus of this shot is the old hair washing chair that is 1/3 on the left side of the picture.
The focal point of this photo is the sun peaking out from behind the clouds.
This follows the rule of thirds because the main subject of this picture, my friend is standing on the 1/3 point of the photo.
The center of attention in this photo is the lamp on the stunning side table. Also the stained glass doors are beautiful and add a good touch to the photo.
The focal point in this picture is the tower on the outside of this hotel.
