Shaylee's Photography

I've only used a camera a few times but I've liked to take pictures of scenery and around the time of a sunset or nice lighting. I'll learn how to take pictures more professionally and uniquely.

Reflection

I proposed a horror-like film in the school about spirits making you go mad. In the end I did the same but I felt like I didn’t capture the process of insanity like I wanted to. In the film I added a scene where the girl falls down the stairs bc in the clip after I had bloody lips and it fit right in and helped add a tense feeling.

In the video it follows a girl who stays after school to bust rumor about a possessed hand, it turns out the rumor was true and she proceeds to be haunted by the spirit until she dies. This story tells how if there’s a superstition or rumor of ghosts or spirits, then it’s not best to follow it.

I learnt how to edit and use effects in Premiere. I learnt how to overlay clips and use blend modes to add glitches all over the film.

I feel like one of my strengths in the film was the editing with all the glitches, noise, and color distortion. One of my weaknesses were the limited clips and it makes the story seem blotchy and confusing. I think overall what really succeeded was the overlay of glitches because our hardware wasn’t built for premier’s glitch effects.

The main challenge of this project was the effects, Since I couldn’t use the ones on Premier I had to scroll on YouTube to find overlays that worked. Once I finally got the overlays I had to convert the files to a MP4 for me to be able to import them into Premiere. I could improve this film with more time by adding more clips to have the story make sense and not all over the place.

Stop Motion Animation

Reflection

I proposed I make a puppet that can be posed to make her move around the classroom trying to escape. I accomplished this by making her move on tables, ground, walking, climbing, and more. I had to build more skeletons to hold the puppet up than what I thought originally but it worked even better.

The story of the animation is that of a puppet that is placed into a classroom unexpectedly and figures out she can escape from the window. The story shows how she continues to move forth even with harsh obstacles to make it out.

I learnt how to make a puppet and how to make it move, I learnt to not move the puppet too much, I learnt camera work and how to light a scene as well.

My strengths was the art that it took to make the puppet and to make it move. I could easily move the puppet to where I wanted and how I wanted. My weakness was angling the camera right and making it steady especially on the ground where the tripod could not go so I had to makeshift a setup. Another weakness is it not being smooth enough to follow entirely and some parts seem too fast or confusing.

I had troubles with the movement and placing of the camera since one part had to be on the floor. I had to make a steady place with a book and tape to hold the camera up. In the future I can plan about these camera angles and make them beforehand so I wouldn’t be stuck on how to do something in the middle of shooting.

Panorama & HDR

Panorama

I went to my moms house where the landlord has a huge yard with interesting hills and trees. I took a total of three photos and imported them to photoshop where it mashed the pictures together.

HDR

I wanted to capture the lights and darks in my room with my led string lights. I used bracketing where I went into the menu to adjust the exposure so it would take the photos a the same time, I then imported it into photoshop where it overlaid the images.

Long & Short

Long 1

Using a long shutter speed of , I used a lighter to create a blurry flower shape.

Long 2

I used my phone light and tried to make another flower but it overlapped, a lot

Long 3

Again with my phone light I made a smiley face.

Short 1

Using a high shutter speed of , you can capture fast movements and if you zoom in the bird is a ball.

Short 2

Trying to capture a bird in the sky while using a high shutter speed

Short 3

Capturing water while throwing it from the cup, took multiple tries.

Iso & Aperture

Low Aperture-With low aperture and a huge depth of field you can see everything and not just the focal point.

High Aperture- With a high aperture the area around the figure is blurred and doesn't let as much light in.

Forced Perspective - I tried to make the figure look smaller than it actually is by placing my hand closer to the camera.

High Iso

With the high Iso the picture gains a more lighter grainier look and isn't as smooth or high of quality.

Low Iso

With low Iso you get a more smoother picture that will have higher quality and be more darker.

Principles of Art pt.2

Movement 1

This shows movement by making your eyes follow the side walk up to the road.

Movement 2

This shows movement by making your eyes follow the curve out of the picture.

Rhythm 1

This is rhythm by the blocks repeating in the same order.

Rhythm 2

This shows rhythm by the rings following the pipe all the way down to the exit.

Symmetrical Balance 1

There's symmetrical balance in the air conditioner by the ridges repeating on both sides along with the sides.

Symmetrical Balance 2

There's a symmetrical balance in the block because of how the block stays the same on both sides.

Radial Balance 1

There's radial balance from the ridges going to the middle of the picture to the exit.

Radial Balance 2

There's radial balance from the wheel going to the middle with all the ridges.

Principles of Art pt. 1

Unity 1 This picture shows unity by showing all the same colors and almost the same models.

Unity 2 This picture shows unity by using the same brushes that have the same colors and design.

Variety 1 This shows variety by one lip gloss being fliped over from all the rest.

Variety 2 There is variety by how the lip gloss in the middle is flipped over and all of them are angled.

Contrast 1 Purple and yellow contrasts on the color wheel and contrasts here with the two figurines.

Contrast 2 The contrast with the two sides of paper is that one is crinkled and one is flat shows the texture as well.

Emphasis 1 The pink figure is emphasises by being surrounded by the others and seemingly glows in the light.

Emphasis 2 The earrings are emphasised by being bronze while the others are silver, leaving the bronze earrings out of the group.

Elements of Art pt.2

Color 1

What makes the color pop is the fact all the objects have either a pink or red hue or shade.

Pattern 1

The pattern on the shirt repetes the same two starts in a diagonal direction.

Space 1

I used the space (floor) to bring more interest to the glasses that is alone and is a different color.

Color 2

What shown in the middle is meant to contrast with the outside as the inside has a variety of colors but outside it's more plain.

Pattern 2

There is a pattern with the flowers also as well the stitching that follow the same lines.

Space 2

I wanted to use the space to shape the array of glasses that create a line.

Elements of Art pt.1

Line 1

The element shown here is line. I was in the photography room and saw the array of computers. They showed the same line with the top and the bottom. it showed a down wards laine that ended with the last computer.

Line 2

I tried a different perspective here I wanted to better line up the computers. in this photo I think it makes the computors line up better and in a neater fashion.

Shape 1

In shape I wanted to show the shadows and lights in a 3-d object to capture its form.

Shape 2

I wanted a circle and i used this to shape the objet. I used perspective to capture the true shape and its shadow.

Texture 1

The texture in this is a thin blanket. It shows the fibers and how they bend together. It also shows what lights and shadows bounce off the blanket to see all the intricate details.

Texture 2

In this shirt I wanted to show the texture difference in the shirt and the layer placed on top. The texture pops from the shirt and is shown that by the shadows and lighting.

Independent Digital Photos

I wanted to look away to try and capture an intrigued look and to change and be different from the other photos.

Light and Shadows

Iso: 400, 4.0, 1/250, WB: Auto

I used by ring light to cast light within the flower clip.

Iso: 3200, 5.0, 1/250, WB: Auto

I put this plush into the ring light to cast a silhouette.

Iso: 3200, 5.6, 1/250, WB: Auto

I used my mirror lights to frame myself.

Iso: 800, 4.5, 1/250, WB: Auto

I wanted the light to surround my hand but even though I thought it ended too dark.

Iso: 800, 4.5, 1/250, WB: Auto

I used a different pose for the light to surround my hand.

Frame the Subject

ISO 400, Shutter Speed 1/250, aperture 5.6, White balance: Auto

I used a table to help frame him in.

ISO 400, Shutter Speed 1/100, aperture 6.3, White balance: Auto

I used my mailbox to surround the lawnmower.

ISO 400, Shutter Speed 1/250, aperture 14, White balance: Auto

I used branches of trees to get the house.

ISO 400, Shutter Speed 1/250, aperture 7.1, White balance: Auto

ISO 400, Shutter Speed 1/80, aperture, 6.3 White balance: Auto

I used branches of the same tree to shape the pods.

Fill The Frame

I filled the frame with the two girls. The aperture made it so it focused manly on the first girl but the second girl helped hill in from the background.

I used Quinn's face to fill the background. It contrasts with the background with the light and the dark.

I wanted to focus on her face and hands. I went up close to get the quility and to fill the frame.

Camera Angle

The photo of my dog was captured higher up to see his puppy dog eyes and long snout.

I took this photo on a ferris wheel and I wanted to show how high I was off the ground and the perspective of me and the background.

I went to a wax museum and took higher up photos to try to capture the whole body.

I wanted to capture his whole face and torso so I took a higher up photo and it showed all the details on the wax figure.

I took a lower photo of me to show more parts of the ride and a different angle to see the sun.

Rule of 3rd's

This photo is on the left side and you can easily tell the focal point with the shape.

This photo fits the rule of thirds because of how it's on the right and lower than the top.

The photo is over to the left line and has a strong focal point.

The focal point is on the left side and it separates itself with the background by the colors and angle.

The photo's focal point is closer and a different color than the background to separate and show how it's located.
