The document discusses three photos the author took of Emily playing guitar for a rock magazine. The first photo was in black and white and showed Emily smiling. The second was edited in Photoshop to have vivid colors and showed Emily smashing her guitar without smiling. The third photo showed Emily laughing while holding her guitar, and the author made it brighter and more posterized. Improvements included capturing less movement and better facial expressions.
2. ORIGINAL
My first image was a mid shot of Emily which showed her
playing a guitar and smiling. This image conveys the
rock look as the dress code is clack and the guitar is
present. I changed the picture to black and white as the
bright colours seemed to upbeat for my magazine and the
black and white gives a better rock look. I used a
steady cam to avoid shakes however it was hard to
capture a still image when Emily was moving whilst
playing the guitar. Improvements would be to capture a
stiller image and to have Emily not smiling.
3. ORIGINAL
The second image is a long shot which gives more of a
rock star feeling as there is no smiling involved and
smashing the guitar gives off that hard-core effect.
Using photo shop I changed the curves and Hue/Saturation
which helped me change the colours of the image to very
vibrant and odd colours. This brought out the quirky
side to my magazine and also makes the magazine very
eye-catching. Improvements would be to capture Emily’s
facial expression and maybe make the image more of a
close-up.
4. ORIGINAL
The last image I chose was a mid shot with captured
Emily laughing whilst holding the guitar. I liked this
image as even though it’s not the typical rock star pose
the image gives off a friendly and warm feeling which
may entice the readers. After looking at the original I
decided to make the image brighter and more posterised.
By changing around the Shadows/Highlights tools and the
Hue/Saturation tools I managed to form a much brighter
and vibrant picture which would sit well on my front
page. Improvements would be again to capture the image
whilst Emily is not moving and get a more focused image.
