Photographic Truth

       In Graphic and Design class we were told to pick a movie that we would like to star in. We were told to put ourselves inside of the movie. We took 6 photos and analyzed how we were going to pose fro each image. We used the magnetic lasso to crop ourselves into another image. “Photographic Truth” means to take a picture and make it believable.

       I picked a movie called “Fast Five.” I picked 6 images and made them all 5x7. I took my images and used Magnetic Lasso to crop me out and add me to the Fast Five image. After a little of blending and resizing I made it look as if I’m in the image. 

       The theme I used was the movie “Fast Five.” I chose that theme because that movie was so good. My presence alter he meaning of the image because basically I was the only Spanish person there.

       I learned from “Photographic Truth” was that anything can be made believable with a little tweaking. I learned how to use a magnetic lasso correctly. I liked the assignment because it made me be apart from something I enjoyed watching. No it was not difficult it was easy. Yes I was successful in my creation. One thing I’ll do differently next time is to try and pose better.

Period 2

       In period 2 graphic design and photo class, we took pictures of our environmental culture. The teacher gave each team of two students their own camera and a fill-out worksheet. We took turns taking pictures and jotting them down. After all that we were told to make an accordion book.

       I took pictures of anything I found interesting. Broken walls, cars, light, lockers, dirty and unique.  I was very interested in the light and shadow. They made the best pictures. I even angled some pictures to make he view much more better.

       I picked out five photos and chose he words “light, shadow, old, angular, and empty” I picked those words due to the fact that it jumped out to me. They remind me of Hope High School because of the fact that I see those things everyday.

       Yes I do think my photos successfully depict the words I chose. They just stand out. What I want to do differently is take closer high definition pictures. Then I can choose better words.

            In graphic design class we had to create an Extraordinary Movie Poster. I had to choose from a bunch of papers that had random everyday objects in them. I had electrical outlet. When I thought of electrical outlet I though of a huge caldron and guy falling into it getting electrocuted.

            I focused on a horror 3D cartoon movie. I have added a caldron, an electrical outlet, a huge bloody room, and a boy falling towards the caldron. I used blending options to add shadowing to my title and tagline.

         The mood I’m trying to communicate through the movie poster is a thriller/shocker/horror movie. I tried to figure out how to make an electrical outlet important in this movie and the only one I thought of was getting shocked to death, so that’s how the idea of a caldron came about. My poster captures the people’s attention because it’s a 3D horror film that will have you on the edge of your seat with “shocking” twists.

         Yes, I think I was successful in my creation of the movie poster because I made an object so useless, important in this poster. An area I wish I could improve on is the images. An electrical outlet in a horror movie is kind of hard to make and having more important images makes it better.
