Kaleidoscope

For this lesson i was set a task of creating a a kaleidoscope image using a DNG file (or the option of using a RAW file is also there) in photoshop. for those that do not know, a Kaleidoscope image is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces, which are tilted to each other in an angle, so that one or more (parts of) objects on one end of the mirrors, that being the image which is used, are seen as a regular symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to the repeated reflection. it is also dubbed as the kaleidoscope effect.

This is the first time i had ever tried to create this process with a photo, plus during the lesson i also learnt what kaleidoscope is and what its definition, and its other known variations, especially as for years before i kept hearing the term kaleidoscope, and i had no idea what it was.



For the process of creating the kaleidoscope image, i struggled may times, and did a few slip ups, as the image would not flip the way i wanted to, but i found out where i was going wrong, and i adapted and got the hang of the process. To create the image, i followed specific instructions (yes i did make mistakes following the instructions, but i unfortunately do not know how), using the link which you can find below. The image in which i used to create the final produced kaleidoscope, you can find in the link below also, but that does not mean you can not use an image of your own to create a kaleidoscope image; you can check some examples below as well.

27/9/17 - Media Carousel Lesson - Film & TV

Yesterday's lesson we did for Carousel, we got a chance to create an advert.... of sorts in a Tv & Film based lesson. the brief outline for it was we had to create a 1 min long advert for a Bic 4 way pen to help promote it & get it to sell of course. we all had to go into small groups, come with ideas then pitch them to the other groups, then pick the best idea & then the one that was picked we turned into the advert itself. The whole process for making the advert went well & it was fun to create. We all worked well as a team but unfortunately, we went over the amount of time we had to film it; even though it was fine in the end. i think for next time to make sure we all improve, we all need to get used to time management but besides from that i feel that we all had a lot of fun during this lesson.

unit 6 - 3D Digital - final images

This is my experimental attempt at creating a 3D digital image for my 3D projects. This task is the second part of my 3D project; again which co-insides with all the research in which we had done before for/along side our research for our Analogue 3D project. For my research this part, i researched at different types of Digital 3D Photography, this was so i could use as inspiration or try to copy/re-do in some sort of fashion. You can see examples of the ones i researched below. As you can see to my left, i decided to attempt in making a portrait in which my mate Alex took of me for his High Key photoshoot, as we was both doing our high key photoshoots back to back. I used this photo as i like the photo, and a very prominant photo of me, the concept behind making the photo 3D was to expand the view of portraiture itself, and to expand the view of reality; in other words, what i mean is, is that theres more to portraiture, and photography in general than meets the eye.
