Cinemagraph

  • pre production
  • Plan out your shot – What part of your cinemagraph to do you want to have moving? What part do you want to have be still? The basketball will be spinning on my finger which will be moving and my body is going to stay still.
  • What role will light play in your cinemagraph? I don’t believe that light will play much of a roll in terms of how I want to make the video look.
  • What sort of mood do you want to give off? I’m not sure as exactly to what kind of mood I what to give. But i’m sure that as along the way I will think of something.

Describe the process, or workflow, you went through to create this image? What did you do for pre-production? What did you do for production? Originally I had save it to the wrong folder because I had to import the video quickly before class was over and so that took so time to find it and to be able to import into Photoshop. Then once it was imported Erick helped me because he had just finished his.


Which online examples  inspired you to make this sequence? Please include these in your visual journal. I didn’t have any thing that inspired me. I was just looking at pictures online about basketball and I was like what if I did some sort of thing where the ball would be spinning on a finger.


How did the sketch of your Cinemagraph differ from the final version?
I already knew what I wanted to do as soon as I started so my picture really didn’t change that much if at all.


How well does the Cinemagraph come across in the final image?
I think that the cinemagraph came across some what. But I know that my video could have been much better for sure.

What did you learn about Photoshop as a result of working on this animation? I learned how to edit a video on Photoshop. I learned that it takes a lot of work to try and make your video they way you want your final to look.


Do you think your image tells a good story? No. The reason I say this is because I wasn’t really taking a video to tell a story I was doing it just to get the assignment complete.


What would you do differently if you could do it all again?
I would finish this much sooner so that i’m not behind and so that I can have more time to take and edit the video more so that instead of rushing to just get it turned in.


What are you most proud of?
I was the most proud of how I was still able to turn in and finish the video even tho that I knew that It was going to be late. also for how much work it took to get it right.
