Editing in i photo
This document provides instructions for editing a photo on a device. It outlines selecting a photo and clicking edit, then choosing from quick fixes like rotating, enhancing color, fixing red eye, or cropping the image. More advanced editing options allow applying effects like black and white or adjusting contrast, exposure, and saturation levels. When finished editing, clicking the button returns the user to their starting point with the edited photo.
Changing the shape of an image
To change the shape of an image in Photoshop, first duplicate and delete the original background image. Then, use the elliptical marquee tool to select the part of the image you want to keep in a particular shape. Next, select Inverse from the Select menu to select everything outside your selection, then press delete to remove the unselected areas, leaving only your shaped image.
Resources
This document discusses the camera and accessories used to take photographs. The camera has a dual camera function that simulates depth of field like a DSLR, and manual settings that allow control over white balance, exposure, ISO, and focus. It also holds a 16GB memory card, providing plenty of space for photos. A mobile phone tripod was purchased to safely and effectively hold the camera, and provide stabilization for shots taken from a height.
Legal and Ethical issues
The photographer will be taking photos of LEGO products rather than people, so they do not need model consent or to verify ages. As the shoot is at their home, location permits are not required. However, the photographer must ensure they have rights to use the LEGO toys as images since the client, LEGO, has commissioned the photos and granted permission.

Cropping
Cropping is a simple Photoshop technique where you use the crop tool to adjust the size of the preview box and choose how big you want your finished image, such as lining up the grid with the center of the subject and positioning it close to the rule of thirds. The document demonstrates cropping by showing an "Before" and "After" shot of the technique.
Graphic design unit
The document discusses the development process for logos and designs for a mobile app called Coffee Run. It provides examples of apps that inspired the logo's simple and limited color design. Key tips for logo design emphasize simplicity, limited colors, and avoiding words. The logo was created by combining cityscape and cup artwork. Fonts were selected and the logo was adjusted until it looked clean. T-shirt designs featured the cityscape artwork from day and night levels. Web banners were made consistent by using the same assets, backgrounds, fonts, and compositions. All designs received feedback from the Coffee Run development team.
Music video evaluation
The document provides feedback on a student-created music video for the song "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" by Cage the Elephant. Viewers praised the variety of shots and attention to matching the lyrics and style of the song. Improvements included smoothing the transition between the opening dark shot and subsequent daylight shot. The students aimed to tell the story of the song through their shots and props. Their biggest change from the original plan was replacing a street shot with an alternative that still conveyed the protagonist's day.
Location
The shoot will take place in the photographer's back garden, which is suitable due to rocky and dry plant areas that can represent desert environments for car racing and sci-fi style photos. Natural stone, dry walls, and metallic features in the garden will depict dry desert and sci-fi settings when used with proper lighting.

Annotated contact sheet
This contact sheet contains photos from a recent photoshoot. It includes 12 thumbnail images arranged in a grid pattern with brief annotations describing the subject, expression, and lighting for each photo. The contact sheet allows the photographer and client to quickly review the photos and select the best shots from the session.
Health and safety
The document discusses potential health and safety risks for photographers and solutions to address them. It notes that theft, bad weather, and unstable environments can pose risks, but advises keeping equipment close, checking weather forecasts, protecting gear from elements, setting up tripods level, and wearing durable clothing. For indoor shots on a controlled set with one photographer, it concludes there are few risks.
Assignment brief
The client, Lego Group, a Danish toy manufacturer founded in 1949, has asked the photographer to take photos of Lego products that can be used to promote the upcoming Lego movie and on Lego set boxes. The photos need to feature Lego toys in a scene that children can recreate themselves using the toys.
Composition pdf
The document discusses two photographs taken to capture two characters in a scene. For the first photograph, the photographer aimed to show both characters and the situation by taking the shot from below and looking up. While this provided the intended perspective, the lighting was not ideal. The second photograph used the same low angle but came closer. This image better follows the rule of thirds and frames the subjects effectively while still providing context of the scene through the second character's visible arms. An edited version of the first photo would introduce the scene before displaying the improved second photograph.
Focus pdf
This document discusses focus techniques used in two photographs. For the first photo, the photographer used a long depth of field and blurred the foreground to draw attention to the camera man in the background. In the second photo, the photographer created a shallow depth of field to focus on the man's head in the foreground as the point of interest, adjusting the focus differently than the first photo.
Fitness for purpose
Fitness for purpose refers to the concept that a product or service should be suitable for the intended use that it was designed for. If a product is marketed or sold as being suitable for a particular purpose, it should perform as expected for that purpose. A product that does not fulfill its intended function may be considered defective or not fit for purpose even if there are no manufacturing defects present.
Freelance rates
The freelance photographer estimates that photographing a small toy shoot will cost no more than £100 total. The toys and set dressing materials like baking soda and plaster of paris will cost £40 or less. Lighting equipment rental at £50 per day will be the largest expense. The £100 budget accounts for setting up, shooting, and editing the photographs.
Lighting pdf
In photograph 1, the aperture was too high and shutter speed too long, causing overexposure from the natural light. No extra lighting or reflectors were used. For photograph 2, the aperture was lowered and shutter speed adjusted, resulting in a cleaner shot with crisper detail and no light bleed, as natural light alone was used without additional lighting or reflectors.

Miley Cyrus created a new persona called "Cyrus the Virus" to distance herself from her previous Disney image. Her music video for "Wrecking Ball" portrays her as naked, crying, and destroying things to show her emotions after a breakup and establish a more mature, edgy persona. However, some argue that the highly sexualized imagery exploits women similarly to pornography. The visuals in the video directly relate to and illustrate the lyrics, with the wrecking ball destroying what's around Miley as she sings about being a "wrecking ball."
Audio Technician
The document discusses the role of an audio technician in the game industry. It notes that there are few audio job roles as one audio engineer can serve many teams. It also states that many studios do not have full-time audio engineers and instead hire them on a contract basis. The document then lists some common activities for an audio engineer such as finding sound effects, meeting with the game team, recording foley effects, getting education in audio engineering, and ensuring they have the proper equipment and software.
Core Mechanic Implimentation
The document discusses 5 core mechanics implemented in a game:
1) A crowd of actors that bounce between invisible walls like in Pong.
2) A spaceship beam that pulls the player upwards instead of a difficult to implement ladder.
3) Falling girders created by spawning shapes with velocity and timers for destruction.
4) Gravity boxes that alter physics for crossing obstacles or free play.
5) Animations of clouds, signs, and lampposts to make the single level game visually appealing and enjoyable to play.

What is a game?
A game is a competitive activity that challenges people through decisions and moves to complete objectives, aiming to provide a reward based on performance. Games fulfill a human need for amusement and are played for leisure, sometimes with family and friends using board games or virtually through video games. While some see games simply as entertainment, others view them as an art form requiring extensive collaboration from developers to create immersive virtual worlds.
Game Salad Evaluation
GameSalad allows anyone to create 2D games and the author found it a comfortable program to use on Macs. Templates provide a starting point to avoid staring at a blank canvas. However, the author encountered issues with GameSalad slowing other programs and found the publishing process complex. In particular, the option to publish free to the GameSalad Marketplace wasn't clear. Overall, the author enjoyed the creative aspects of GameSalad and would recommend it if the publishing was improved.
