Projects

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.

Photo Diary




In this picture i noticed that the sand wasn’t perfect and nice but it still worked. It kind of made me realize that you will have your ups and downs in your everyday life.
I really like this picture because of how the grass was freshly cut and it looked very nice. Maybe the word you could use for this would be satisfied.

  • In this picture I had a similar felling in as the last picture.
Worms were all over the track and because it was sunny the were dieing out so I decided to pick them up and through them into the grass to keep them alive. mood helpful
In this picture I was felling curious on what pictures I should take so I took a picture of someone walking that was looking around.

Final Reflection: Photo Diary Project

Describe the process, or workflow, you went through to create these images? This project was a little bit harder then the other projects because I wasn’t very sure of what I wanted to take a picture of. Then as I was walking around with Erick I started to think of pictures that I could take. It was also a little harder because when I usually take pictures I just take them to do an assignment I don’t take them so show emotion or to try and show something but in these I had to try and explain my emotion with the pictures.

How were you able to capture the emotions you were feeling each day? I just thought about how I was feeling that specific day and took a picture that I thought would help me capture what I emotions I felt that particular day.

How close did you get to capturing the emotions you felt in your photographs? On a scale from 1-10 I feel maybe like a 6 or 7 the reason I say that was because I felt like I could take better pictures that what I have right but for the most part I felt that I did alright.

Did the emotions you were feeling stay the same, or were they different each day? I think for the most part they were the same but they of course changed a little. I think something that kept me in s good mood was that the weather was pretty nice.

Do you see a progression in these photographs? I’m not sure if you were asking about like progression as in the pictures got better as I went along. But if so I don’t really think that they got better they pretty much stayed the same.

How do the photos change from the first image to the last? Is there a story to it, it’s ok if there isn’t. I wasn’t really going for a story so no I don’t think that their is a story.

What patterns do you see emerge as a series of photographs? I personally didn’t see any patterns in the images other then them some of them looking similar.

Is there a pattern or are the photos random? How similar/dissimilar is the editing in these photographs?The pattern of the photos was random. The editing was also kind of random

Explain how you were able to enhance the mood of the photographs with Photoshop or lightroom? I was able to change the brightness to make the pictures either looks better or to try and explain the mood I was trying to express.

How did Strong’s examples help you in creating the imagery? Yes they kind of helped me when I was thinking of pictures to take but except I took my pictures at school which I think is a little harder for this project instead of taking them when I was outside of school.

How well do your final images reflect the specific emotion? I don’t think that they reflect my emotions that well but I feel like they do a little bit.

What could you have done to make sure that the viewer gets the specific emotion without reading the word?
become a little bit more creative with my photos so that someone that was looking at my picture could better understand my emotions.

What did you learn about the art of taking pictures as a result of working on this project? Do you think your photo series a good story? I learned that taking photos is more serious to others. Fore example I am not that serious on taking pictures but other people really try and do a perfect job and then get paid for it. No not really.

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 pictures more 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 the pictures and my blog even tho that I knew that It was going to be late. also for how much work it took to think of a picture that I could take that would capture my emotions at that particular time of day.
