 The different brightness's settings in the menu
 The camcorder is very light and quite small so you can have it in your pocket as your walking ect.

 What I have learnt with the Panasonic camera is how to adjust the brightness on it with the menu settings.
I have also learnt how to take pictures and record videos, and how to use the mic. The white balance adjusting colours so that the image looks more natural.
Rule of third- The rule of thirds is one of the main “rules” in art and photography. Photos are divided into thirds with two imaginary lines vertically and two lines horizontally making three columns, three rows and nine sections in the images. Important parts of the image should be placed on or near the imagery lines, this is for that if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally.

Video Evaluation


Advert evaluation, For our advert video we got into groups of three my group was me , Berkay and Shaun. We had to make a spider diagram of ideas on what our advert was going to be and we came up with a product which was butter, we also had ideas about what the advert was going to include, such as props, location ect.
We all agreed on our advert being filmed on a park where we would film the peace and quietness of the trees and then we would show someone laying down enjoying the peace and suddenly a brick would fall on their head and blood will splat over the camera and then it would cut off and then the logo would come up with the slogan saying '' Don't lay it, spread it'' I think this is a very good idea as it suits the theme and a its a good way to advertise our product. The equipment we needed was camera, a tripod and the prop which is a ''sponge brick''.

 Then we had to put this on a storyboard in Marisa's lesson.

 The shots on the storyboard included
  The First shot we are using a panning shot.
  The second shot it is going to be a Mid-shot
  The Third shot it is going to Be a POV shot.
  The Fourth shot it is going to be a Wide shot
















When we went to go to recording we found a park near our college and it was at St Mary's Rest Garden, we started with the first shot where we just recorded the park and to show how peaceful it is, then for the second shot we changed it, instead of our actor lying down on the grass we made him sit on a bench as the weather had changed and it had been raining all day. Then for the third shot Berkay climbed a tree and threw the brick down onto the camera which made it a P.O.V shot this shot took awhile as he couldn't quite get it on to the camera but he got there in the end, then for our final shot we include our logo and slogan.

After we had recorded it we went on the computers to edit them on the photo-shop software

We have decided to include effects and also include fades into our advert on Photoshop.
We are including the background music which for the first few scenes is a peaceful music to create a peaceful scenery

And when the brick is falling we are going to use
 the bomb- drop sound effect this will be

 Then for the blood splatter noise we are going to use this sound as this fits the theme.

Owain- Banner

This is my simple banner.
This only took me like half an hour it was quick and easy. The only problem I had creating this was the grey triangles they wouldn't match with the box. I got the fish of the internet and got a picture of a tongue. I created the fish with the tongue a week ago it only took me about 5 minuets to make it. I'm very pleased with it .With the background I got some help of a friend as I had some difficulty with it. Overall I'm very proud of this.

What I did to create this was I did I had to create a rectangle at first and then I anchored the sides so it curved inwards, after that I made a small square which I then direct selected the middle of it and made it into a triangle shape by backspacing the point I selected then I changed the angle to -90 degrees and made the gradient lighter that was a bit of a challenge but luckily I got help with it. Then I copied the triangle and put the triangle on the other side so it looks more like a banner , then I added red text to it to make it stand out on the black background of the banner. Then I added the fish with the tongue which I made a week before. What I did to do the fish was get a picture off the intenet of a random fsh then I got a picture of a tongue but I had to make sure it was just the tongue which I had to cut the lips off then I added the fish onto one layer then added the tongue to another layer and put the layer with the tongue on top of the layer which had the fish on. I made the background last which I also needed help with as I forgot how to do it, I didn't want just one colour as it would look bland so I managed to add three colours to make it attractive.

Advert evaluation

I have produced an advert for my product which is silky smooth butter. I researched other adverts that advertised butter and it helped so I had ideas of how to place my picture and where to put my logo, slogan, and other information. I used Photoshop, Photoshop helped me learn how to use the warp tool and how to wrap the label around the container, it took me a while to figure it out but in the end I got it and got used to it. I have learned a lot of new skills with using Photoshop like how to use the warp tool, how to remove and add layers, how to cut out things without deleting all my work, I’ve also learn how to do change colors for the background.

I’m not use to Photoshop as I’ve never used it before so it took me longer to understand what tools did and how to use the tools correctly. The equipment I used was the click selection to take out the background and then did select then inverse then pressed the delete button which is very easy. Next I added the label I made then I used the click selection again to take off the parts I didn't need, then I used text then I put it on the lid which was easy. Then I added another layer to create a circle and color it in dark red and then I had to add text which I had some problems with because the layer it was on wouldn’t go on top of the layer I wanted it to but with some help I got there. I did the background first as it was so easy and quick to do.

I think my final piece is okay but I could have done it better if I had more time and had more of a clearer understanding. If I could do it differently I would have spent less time on my planning and more time creating to make my final piece the best it could be. I would also add brighter colors because they make the advert appealing and better to look at then having dark colors. I also think I would place my product to the side instead of the middle.

Photography evaluation

The assignment for photography was to create a freaky image by taking photos of unusual objects and merging them together to make an advert.

I took pictures of a blue varse and I also took a picture of a clapperboard. I first researched freaky images so I had more of an idea of what to do, what I did to find the freaky images I searched in google images 'freaky and weird images' and I got a lot of results, some of them I didn’t like as they was to freaky and would of not been suitable and then I found some that I liked and got inspiration from. The characteristics of a freaky images is anything from bulging eyes to a weird ornament found in someone’s home but my favorite part is when there are freaky images and when they are real and haven’t been Photoshoped so people will look at them and admire them, these are my favorites as that they are unique and unusual. I also think a freaky characteristic is when something is terrifying but makes you want to look at them twice and they are creepy and weird.

 I’ve always been into photography, but I didn’t know what all the fancy words on the top of the camera did, but now I know that A is for Apature the aperture is the opening in the lens, formed by a set of diaphragm blades. By changing the aperture setting, these blades can be made to open and close and consequently allow more or less light to hit the camera sensor, M is for Manual mode which gives you complete control over the three elements of exposure, S is for Speed, shutter speed is a measure of how long your camera’s sensor is exposed to light and P is for Program, program exposure mode is the thinking person's auto: the camera chooses the most important settings for you.

My idea was to merge my image to make a freaky home decor advert for people that like unusual things and for the people who collect freaky objects. I used my camera to take photos, I took them in the room next door because it was quiet and easier to concentrate, the main reason I wanted to go into the other room was I needed to concentrate so I didn’t mess up the photograph. I used a red head light and what a red head light do is flood the light out of large areas, and are also useful to fill and backlights.

Through the editing process I used Photoshop and in Photoshop I used the level tool to make my images lighter and the quick selection tool to cut out my images. I also used the pen tool to get smoother edges.

If I could do it differently I would take more pictures and put more pictures onto my final design. I think my final images does meet the brief because it is freaky and weird.

This is my advertisement sketch

This is my photoshop for my product the equipment i used was the click selection to take out the background and then did select then inverse then pressed the delete button. Next I added the label I made then i used the click selection again to take off the parts i didn't need, then i used text then i put it on the lid which was easy. Then i added another layer to create a circle and color it in dark red and then i had to add text which was quite easy then i added the layers back and put them in the correct way. I did the background first as it was so easy and quick to do. I'm very pleased with the out come.

Owain Davies-

                                      Advert evaluation

I used Photoshop to produce my magazine for my product which is called Silky Smooth Butter. I looked on the internet for ideas to help me have a clearer understanding of the layouts of a magazine and know what kind of font and size I would need to use to make it look descend and know about the location where to put the font. This helped me by having a clear understanding of what kind of font and size I need. Unfortunately I didn’t find any magazine that will suit my product so I took ideas from quite a few inspirational magazines.

The skills I learned by using Photoshop was how to use click selection correctly. I also learned how to take off layers and add them. I used Photoshop a few times before but hardly knew anything about what to do.

I feel really pleased with my final piece as I never used Photoshop before and I think it turned out good. If I had to do it again differently I don’t know what I’d do really. I could use more tools or take my time with it as I was rushing as I was doing my other work.

Faye Jackson-



We went to the Library and looked around, we had to take some pictures of some books that interested us, here is the pictures that i took:

                                   Advert.

Saint Mary's Rest Garden

(due to technical issues i had to print screen this) This is a small park behind Stoney Street.

We needed a park style area in order for Shaun to lie down.

I think this would be a great area as Shaun needs to lie down.

We need a bench for Shaun to sit on so this would be a great place.

This is the entrance to the resting garden where we will be filming.


















 

owain davies, fonts

Owain Davies

We have chosen these

We have chosen these fonts because we think that they fit the genre ''silky smooth butter'',

Furthermore some of the fonts look like the actual name smooth, the  one with the font dripping also fits the criteria because it could be portrayed as butter. We are going to change the font colours to yellow as our product is butter.
