Photography Evaluation

In our assignment we are doing something called Freak or Unique which where we had to create a product in groups of 3 in the film production groups and had to film a advert in a different lesson and had to research different adverts etc and for this the research was searching up unusual freaky photos that could inspire our advert and help towards our advert in many ways. A lot of dark gloomy photos inspired me at first and then changed my mind so I can be eye catching to the customer. This print advert goes towards the film advert.

Then in these lessons we have been working indivually on the print adverts which would be used on a billboard and so on. Original ideas were for it to be more unique than freaky and wanted it to be retro looking, something everyone knows of or knew of. The characteristics of a unusual, freaky photo is that it needs to be a lot different from other photos something on it that makes it freakily unique like the background or a object on it or even the sub heading on the advert. For the four edited photos we had to create we had to use Photoshop and also properly learn how to use that too. We used Photoshop to crop objects on to other backgrounds to make it look real, and as professional as possible.

Also had to work with the Photoshop tools such as the cropping tool, magic wand tool and cloning tool and etc.

Whilst taking photos I had take in a few accounts such as the lighting coming from the studios lights, adjusting it putting it from different angles such as from bellows, the side or even viewpoint. Also the equipment like being careful with and not touching the lights when there burning hot, moreover we just took them in our class but used a table and a big sheets of plain white people to help with the lighting. I would take shots of different figures or objects something that fits with our product well and doesn't look over top or outplaced. I learned a lot different things about the camera like how to use it  , what certain buttons do and the different programmes and so. Furthermore, learned the different angle names such as viewpoint, leading lines etc. and the lighting balance which is called white balance. My finished work doesn't fully go with my proposal as I changed my mind, it was going to have a dark, evil, gloomy look to it but it has kind of bright colours and power rangers are featured in it. But I think its better then what my proposal was going to be as its a retro twist as its something everyone knows but with a mad twist.

Overall I think my created advert for my advert is pretty good and quite unique as its something you don't really see much but as its not met my proposal that much its better than the original
