The document summarizes the student Chloe Smith's experimental photography project exploring photo montage/collage and double exposure techniques. For photo montage, Chloe placed images of landscapes in doorways of photographs she took. She felt this fit the theme of discovery by creating fantasized destinations. For double exposure, she superimposed transparent "ghost" images onto her photographs to create a haunting effect. Chloe evaluated her techniques and images, believed they fulfilled the brief of exploring discovery, and provided ideas for improving her work, such as taking more original photographs.
The document summarizes the student's experimental photography assignments exploring photomontage techniques. For the first image, the student manipulated brightness, saturation, and added a blue stroke around layered images of a map. They found this abstract approach most successful. The second image aimed to emulate David Hockney's style by layering corridor photos and editing colors. For the third, the student created a Hockney-inspired grid with individual square manipulations like opacity and overlays. Overall, the assignments explored locations through photomontage, with influences from Hockney, to fulfill the theme of discovery through experimental photography.
1) The document discusses different experimental photography styles including out of focus images, movement, reflections, and photo montages.
2) For out of focus images, the photographer took blurry photos of books in the library to showcase the blurry outlines and popping colors. For movement photos, long shutter speeds captured blurred images of people walking.
3) Reflection photos were captured at angles to show reflected scenes. The best photo montage combined scattered individual photos to create a rough collage-like finished image.
This document summarizes an experimental photography project combining multiple exposure and scanography techniques. The author created images by overlaying previously taken scanography photos with other nature images in Photoshop. For one image, the author overlaid a scanography face with an image of trees and flowers, using dodging tools to highlight certain areas. The author evaluates how well their work achieved the intended ideas and references influences from scanography and double exposure styles individually. The author assesses the technical and aesthetic qualities of the works and discusses ways to potentially improve or further develop the images through additional experiments.
This document summarizes an experimental photography student's photomontage projects. For the first project, the student created a photomontage from photos of an artistic map, experimenting with brightness, saturation, and adding a blue stroke around each layer. They moved the images to distort the original image. For the second project, the student was inspired by David Hockney's photomontages and created one from photos of a corridor at different angles and layers. The student evaluated their work and discussed technical qualities like post-production techniques as well as areas for improvement such as composition and original photo quality.
The document discusses the author's experiments with multiple exposure photography. They tried layering images of roses with geese, trains with train tracks, and birds. They aimed to overlay similar images at different sizes so they blended together while still being distinct. The author took influence from photographer Jerry Ueslmann and found their own images lacked vibrancy compared to examples they found online. They discuss technical aspects like exposure that impacted the success of overlays. The author considers images of hands holding plants and animals among their most successful, as the subjects stand out clearly. They conclude some experiments were more successful than others and they would benefit from collecting a wider variety of photos to experiment with in the future.
Chloe Smith took several experimental photography projects exploring reflection, blur, movement, and photo montages. For reflections, she achieved ghostly images in manual focus of stairwell lights. She found blurring images made them look like paintings. Using slow shutter speeds on a tripod, she captured moving figures transparently. For montages, she took overlapping photos and merged them, finding taking multiple rows created neater composites. Her favorite used brightness, vibrancy, and looked like individual photos were stuck together to cover a large scene.
The document provides an evaluation of a student's work on several digital graphic narrative development tasks including shaping images, rotoscoping, working with text, creating comic book style images, photography, and illustration.

For inspiration, the photographer was influenced by nature, friends, and finding aesthetic moments. They became interested in macro and abstract photography, enjoying capturing close-up details and finding new perspectives. Equipment used included Canon cameras and Photoshop. Some photos were edited to enhance focus or lighting. Feedback from peers indicated the wasp and light bulb photos were favorites due to quality and interest, while the berry photo was least favorite as too simple and dull.
The document discusses the author's process for creating experimental double exposure photographs. They took inspiration from photographer Jerry Uelsmann and aimed to create dark images combining multiple exposures of a church and pond. Though the images were not overly complex technically, combining three exposures of a church, ducks, and landscape gave the final image a professional feel. The author was happy with how the elements merged together but thinks the work could be improved by reducing overexposure in post-production. Overall, they felt the dark, experimental images incorporating light and shadows fulfilled the brief of combining elements in an unusual way.
The document summarizes the author's experiments with various photography techniques to create experimental images. In an experiment with out-of-focus photography, the author found that an out-of-focus image of light looked hazy and soft. For movement photography, the author captured the blurred movement of a spinning food dispenser, which showed the contrast between movement and stillness. When using reflections, the author found that an image reflected a sign correctly instead of in reverse, making it intriguing.
The document provides an evaluation of a student's work on various digital graphic narrative development tasks. For a puppy image, the student liked the background and shading but would improve the outline and shading. For a guinea pig image, the student liked the blending of colors but would change some details.

Areas for improvement included outlines, details, and using tools like thresholds more effectively.
The document summarizes the student's reflections on an experimental photography assignment. It discusses several types of photographs the student took, including reflections, movement, out of focus shots, and Hockney-style photomontages. For the reflections, the student felt one candid shot through glass came out best. For movement photos, they liked two blurry shots with lights and of a person walking. The out of focus images could have been improved with more interesting subjects beyond cars. The student felt the photomontage in the art gallery came out looking most like Hockney's work, with layered photographs.
The document provides an evaluation of experimental photography using the Harris Shutter effect and Photoshop Raw effect to create unique images. The summary is:
The student created images using the Harris Shutter effect by taking multiple photos of the same model in different outfits and merging them in Photoshop to symbolize a person not knowing their identity and fighting against themselves. For their first Photoshop Raw image, the student cropped sections and placed them on the original photo to make it more modern. The student focused on discovery themes by transforming normal images with colorful effects. Overall, the student learned techniques like cropping, adjusting brightness and colors, and merging images to create experimental photos that explore identity and viewing everyday objects in new ways
This document summarizes several photography experiments conducted by the author to practice different techniques:
1. For shutter speed, the author adjusted the shutter speed to 1.3 seconds and captured some ghosting effects but the images were slightly out of focus.
2. For out of focus images, the author intentionally did not focus the camera and captured some out of focus shots, with the camera shot being the strongest example.
3. For reflections, the author captured reflections in surfaces like glass and found the gum bin reflection to be the clearest example.
4. For photomontage, the author combined 10 photos of a car into one image from a changed perspective, but found room for improvement in subject

4. Reflection photography, where the author experimented with capturing reflections in surfaces like mirrors and windows.
The document describes an experiment with multiple exposure photography. The photographer took an original image of a temple and applied a lomography effect to give it a darkened style. They then tried double exposing the image to make cracks appear in the building as if it had deteriorated over time. They realized overlay and soft light effects could be used to add elements to the darkened cloud areas as well. The finished image is shown using a storm cloud found online overlaid on the temple image. Another image shows cracks stretched across a building with different layer styles tested before deciding on overlay. Overall the photographer was happy with the results and says they will provide step-by-step instructions for how the finished effect was achieved.
Simon and Marceline have a close friendship, with Simon caring for the young Marceline 996 years ago after a nuclear war. However, Simon's mental state begins deteriorating as he uses a magical crown, worrying Marceline. Marceline falls ill and Simon realizes he needs to find help, embarking on a journey to save her.

Module 1 introduces fundamental project management concepts like time, cost, and quality management. Module 2 focuses on project management techniques such as work breakdown structure, Gantt charts, network diagrams, critical path method, and PERT. Module 3 addresses challenges specific to real estate projects during pre-construction. Module 4 discusses breaking ground on a construction project. Module 5 covers managing site execution, including cost control, quality assurance, and materials management. Finally, Module 6 reviews project reporting and closeout activities like documentation and archiving.
The document discusses initial ideas for illustrating a digital graphic narrative based on the story "The Elves and the Shoemaker". The student provides examples of character appearances that resemble the kind and pleasant shoemaker and wife as well as the childish and mischievous elves. They want to depict the locations and shoemaker's home accurately to the historical time period and the shoemaker's poor status. Of the font options presented, the student prefers the third font as it suits the child-friendly storytone.
The student generated ideas for illustrating a children's book based on the folktale "The Shoemaker and the Elves." Strengths of the proposal included choosing a simple PDF format that is widely viewable, targeting a broad international audience of children, and planning to use rotoscoping and shaping in Photoshop to create bright, simplistic illustrations. Areas for improvement included providing more details on production methods and timeline. For idea generation, strengths were selecting inspiration images that fit the story's soft, kind tone and considering historical accuracy. Developing initial character/location sketches could have further strengthened ideas. Overall the proposal laid a solid foundation for the project but leaving some details unspecified left room for refinement.
Here is a revised script that further develops the characters:
(1) There once lived an elderly shoemaker named Thomas and his wife Margaret. Though they worked hard, times were difficult and they struggled to earn enough money to survive.
(2) One night, Thomas had only enough leather left to make one last pair of shoes. Exhausted, he said his prayers and went to sleep, leaving the uncut leather by his workbench.
(3) When Thomas awoke the next morning, he was amazed to find a perfectly crafted pair of shoes sitting on the table. The fine stitching and attention to detail were unlike anything he had made before.
(4) That day, a customer named John
Here is a revised script with more details about the characters:
(1) There once lived an elderly shoemaker named Thomas and his wife Sarah. Though Thomas worked very hard at his craft, he struggled to earn enough money to support himself and his wife. One day, Thomas had used all of his leather and funds to make one last pair of shoes.
(2) That evening, exhausted from his work, Thomas cut out the leather for the shoes he planned to make the next day. Before going to bed, he said a prayer, hoping his skills would improve so that he may earn a living.
(3) The next morning, Thomas was shocked to discover that overnight, tiny elves had come and finished
The document is a contact sheet reviewing various photos taken for posters. Photos of a "teaser" were rejected for showing hands or being too high or low. One photo was selected that showed all models clearly and had space to edit in an Ouija board. Photos for a "landscape" poster were assessed; one was chosen that had an intimidating model in focus without creases. Photos were also selected for adding shadows to the landscape poster.
The document summarizes photography experiments the author conducted using different techniques: out of focus, movement, photomontage, and reflections. For the out of focus technique, the author found blurrier images looked better in brighter areas. They produced abstract images blending colors. For movement, they captured legs in motion using long exposures and camera movement. Their reflection images featured multiple mirrored views and colorful reflections that transformed ordinary subjects.
1. The document discusses several experimental photography techniques that the author explored, including shutter speed, reflection, photomontage, and focus. For shutter speed, the author found that timing is important to capture movement and that colors and lights blur better than other subjects. With reflection photography, ripples in water and curved surfaces can distort reflections. Photomontage involves combining close-up photos into a collage, while poor focus can soften edges and remove unwanted details from images.
2. Across the different techniques, key lessons were that timing is important to capture movement, reflective surfaces and ripples can impact reflections, photomontage works best with many small photos, and slight blurring can soft
The original script for a children's story was reviewed. Feedback suggested adding more details to the story summary and mood board. The revised script includes an expanded story outline with more plot details and additional images in the mood board to better convey the visual style and tone. Areas for further improvement include providing more context around the chosen file format.
The original script tells the story of a girl named Lily whose mother dies and whose stepmother gives her difficult tasks and treats her like a servant. One day, the stepmother sends Lily to fetch water from the Well of the World's End using only a sieve. On her journey, Lily meets a frog who promises to help her if she agrees to do whatever he asks for one day, and he instructs her how to line the sieve so it can carry water.

The document summarizes the student's reflections on an experimental photography assignment. It discusses several types of photographs the student took, including reflections, movement, out of focus shots, and Hockney-style photomontages. For the reflections, the student felt one candid shot through glass came out best. For movement photos, they liked two blurry shots with lights and of a person walking. The out of focus photos were a challenge to make look professional. For the photomontages, the student felt the one combining gallery photos looked most like David Hockney's work and was most successful. Overall, the student felt they could improve by planning shots better and taking more photos for each technique.
The document is a student's reflection on several experimental photography projects using photomontage techniques. For each project, the student evaluates how well their ideas were realized, the aesthetic qualities of the final images, and aspects that could have been improved. The student used an automatic camera mode and Photoshop features like the collage and threshold tools to manipulate multiple photos into surreal composite images exploring themes of the urban environment. Overall, the student was pleased with the results but felt taking additional photos from different angles could have improved the projects.
In the original story, a girl named Lily is given an impossible task by her cruel stepmother of filling a sieve with water from the Well of the World's End or else never return home; with the help of a frog who tells her how to line the sieve with moss and clay, Lily is able to complete the task but must now keep her promise to do whatever the frog asks for one day; the frog has Lily lift him onto her knee and make him supper, much to the delight of her scheming stepmother.

The document summarizes the student's experimental photography project. The student created collage images mixing photos of two subjects within triangular compositions. When creating the images manually, a mistake led to an unexpected but successful design. Scanning the images allowed the student to add texture and a vintage look in Photoshop. Overall, the student is pleased with the minimalist yet interesting final pieces and feels they fulfilled the assignment requirements by taking aesthetic, technical, and experimental approaches.
The document provides an analysis and evaluation of experimental photography work by the author. It discusses the creative process, influences, techniques, and outcomes of creating four composite photographic images. Key points include:
- The final images came out as expected or better, though with some unexpected elements that worked well.
- Influences included artists David Hockney and John Stezaker, as well as album artwork.
- Techniques included manual collage, scanning, and digital editing in Photoshop to add lines and textures.
- The work fulfills the brief of a minimum of three images and experiments with different media and techniques.

- The final images came out as expected or better, though with some unexpected elements that worked well. Manual creation and scanning allowed for creativity.
- Influences included artists David Hockney and John Stezaker. Styles from both were incorporated, such as collages with mixed subjects.
- Editing in Photoshop added lines, textures, and tones for aesthetic effect. Weak points may be confusion over mixed subjects, but the work fulfills the brief and experimental goals.
The document discusses Amy Foster's process for creating different elements of her magazine production including a front cover, back cover, and double page spread. She describes editing photos in Photoshop, choosing fonts, arranging layouts, and using techniques like cutouts and overlays to create cohesive designs that follow a futuristic neon theme. Amy reflects on experiments she would try if given the opportunity to rework elements, such as additional photo editing approaches and making contest details more prominent.
The document summarizes the student's final imagery project. It discusses how the student manually created collages with triangles made of smaller shapes and subjects, which were then scanned and edited digitally. The student experimented with techniques like channel mixing and adding white outlines. While some elements like the small collage pieces could be confusing, the student is overall pleased with the minimalist, vintage aesthetic achieved. Room for further improvement includes developing a stronger holographic effect and considering alternate angles. The work fulfills the assignment requirements through a variety of manual and digital media.
Nicola Kilgallon created experimental double exposure photographs with a focus on discovery. Their final image features hands with a river and bridge in the background, made with a clipping mask for a mysterious effect. They were influenced by Christoffer Relander's double exposure portraits with nature backgrounds. Technically, the magic wand tool created a rough edge on the hands that could be improved. Overall the final image fulfills the brief of being suitable for an exhibition on discovery, as the outdoor scenery leaves the location unknown and adventurous to interpret.
This document profiles three experimental photographers:
Tierney Gearon uses double exposure techniques manually in-camera to create narrative images that document her family and relationships.
Melinda Gibson analyzes educational photography texts by literally cutting and combining images to spark questions about education and copyright.
Clarence John Laughlin documented "lost" unrenovated buildings in New Orleans in the 1930s, capturing their authenticity and treating them as poetic documents beyond just history or architecture.
The document compares MP3 players to iPods, listing several advantages of MP3 players: they are less expensive than iPods; have longer battery life; and are more durable than iPods. Additionally, paying monthly for music through an MP3 player would be cheaper than purchasing individual songs or albums. However, the document also notes some potential downsides of MP3 players, such as that they require internet access to use music streaming services, and their simple design may not appeal to younger consumers who prefer more advanced devices.
This document discusses various layout and design terms used in publishing like page number, orientation, columns, headlines, pull quotes, margins, grids, datelines, drop capitals, and white space that help structure written content and images on a page. It also mentions stylistic elements like straplines, cut-outs, and graphical objects.
This document discusses various terminology used in page layout and design such as page number, orientation, columns, headlines, pull quotes, margins, baselines, grids, drop capitals, datelines, white space, and other typographic elements like blobs and stars. It provides definitions for core layout and design concepts without examples or further explanation.
For this scenario, the best printing method would be photocopying. Photocopying is very cheap for large quantities and suitable for single color, basic flyers that just need to be handed out on the street. Photocopying can produce 3000 copies very quickly at low cost. No special skills are required beyond operating a photocopier. While the quality may not be as high as other methods, for temporary flyers being given away, photocopying provides an excellent low-cost solution.
The document discusses three experimental photographers:
Tierney Gearon, known for double exposure images that provide intimate looks into her family and relationships. Melinda Gibson analyzes photography textbooks by rearranging cut out images to create haunting new works that question concepts of authorship. Clarence John Laughlin photographed decaying buildings in New Orleans in the 1930s, capturing their "lost" authenticity before renovation through ghostly images emphasizing destruction and the passage of time.
The document discusses plans for a fanzine created by Chloe Smith. It likely contains details about the content, design, distribution, and timeline for creating the fanzine. The fanzine will showcase Chloe's interests and creative works for others in her fan community to enjoy.
Multiple exposure is a technique that combines two images into one by overlaying them. It allows effects like ghostly or mirrored images. While some cameras provide a multiple exposure function, photo editing software like Photoshop provides more control by allowing images from different times to be combined. Light writing involves long exposure photography where lights are used to create effects and objects by moving them during the exposure. A tripod is important to avoid camera shake, and different light sources can be used along with settings like a high aperture number and low ISO to reduce noise for long exposures.
Chloe Smith is exploring different mood board techniques like multiple exposure, photo montages, and motion. She wants to combine rural and urban images to create dark and mysterious multiple exposure photos. For photo montages, she will experiment with combining ordinary images and outdoor scenes. Using motion techniques with slow shutter speeds, she hopes to draw with light and distort images to create ghostly effects. Overall, she aims to make original and interesting images through experimentation with these techniques.
Tabloid Production is a document written by Chloe Smith. The document likely discusses the process of producing tabloids, which are newspapers known for their emphasis on entertainment, arts, celebrity gossip, and sensational crime stories. Chloe Smith may provide details on the steps involved in creating and distributing tabloid newspapers to readers.
This document discusses planning and includes sections such as a masthead, articles, headlines, images, and main articles. It has a format that is repeated with masthead, article, advert, headline, image, and main article sections. The document focuses on organizing various media elements into a cohesive structure.

Chloe Smith has chosen images that are dark, mysterious, and strange to use as inspiration for multiple exposure and photo montage techniques. She wants to combine rural and urban scenes or overlay modern subjects on woodland areas to create original, interesting images. Chloe also selected motion images to experiment with different lighting effects like drawing with light or warping objects on slow shutter speeds.
The document discusses layout experiments. It appears to be about testing different designs or page layouts. The goal is presumably to determine the most effective layout for presenting information visually.
This document provides terminology for layout and design elements including page number, orientation, columns, headlines, pull quotes, margins, and borders. Key terms are used to describe typographic styles like drop capitals and straplines as well as graphic elements like blobs and stars that can be used to highlight important quotes or sections.
This document provides a factual layout analysis of several documents, including a yoga leaflet, vegan lifestyle leaflet, article on overfishing, and airsoft gun instruction manual. Key points analyzed include font choices, image selection, use of formatting like bolding, paragraph structure, and how design elements match the topic and intended audience. The analysis finds the documents are generally clear and easy to understand, with design and information presentation fitting the subject matter.

3. I have chosen this image because I think that
it fits in well with the theme of discovery. I
think this because the doorway is opening to
a completely different environment; one
that looks quite fantasy-like and beautiful. I
found the contrast between the old look of
the room to the wilderness of the
mountains to be interesting and over the
top, but it still works. I think that something
like this would be everyone’s dream, to be
able to just open a door and for it to lead to
a different place (maybe even one of their
choosing). I think that this particular image
of mountains I have added in works well
with the rest of the picture because the
greens of the trees go with the dark/dull
blue of the carpet and the light wallpaper
and bed sheets compliment the mountains
and sky. Although the image of the
mountain landscape isn’t in the centre of
the frame, nor is it taking up a large amount
of space, it is still the focus of the image
because of the strange placement in what
would otherwise be a normal picture.
4. Evaluate:
I feel that I have got decent and interesting results. I already had an idea of the kind of things I would of liked to try with the photo
montage/collages. I knew I wanted to place things in the door frame but using scenery was something I came up with while
experimenting. I think that using the doorways as “gateways to another place” is good for the theme of discovery because in effect it
allows the person to travel to a dream-like fantasy place without any effort. In some of my images I have also replaced pieces of the
original image with random pictures I found on Google images. They made for some good collages, but I still prefer the doorway images
better because you can still actually see the majority of the original image. I’m less fond of the collages because they don’t really seem
like photography to me, they seem more like something you would do at school. Maybe if I used my own images in the collages it would
be different, but the images I used were taken from Google images and were placed over the top of my image, therefore my own ‘work’
could not be seen.
I took influence from Melinda Gibson, who is well-known for her photo book “The Photograph as Contemporary Art” which involved the
technique of cutting out and sticking images from the original book (by Charlotte Cotton) together into a photo montage. As I said
before, I would of rather made the photo montages out of my own images because apart from the template for the montage, nothing of
the finished image is of my own work. I think that the majority of my photo montages are a less over the top version of the work that
Melinda did, but overall I think that this modified technique works really well and I am happy with the results.
Qualities:
I think the appearance of my work is better in some places than in others. Again, I’m not 100% pleased with how my collages turned out
because I think I could of cut around the edges a bit neater and less jagged, and possibly feathered the edges when I was cutting round
the images. For my photo montage’s, I like their appearance because the dullness of the image, possibly from the lighting, or the fact that
I edited them prior to working on them in college to give them a more vintage look, works well with the images I have chose. I edited the
images a little to make them duller so that they are not too much of a contrast with my image. I feel that I cut out the doorways better
than I did my collages because I did it bit by bit using rotoscope instead of getting Photoshop to cut around it automatically. The
strongest aesthetic elements are that although the doorways are unrealistic and do obviously look somewhat edited and manipulated
but it’s not extremely obvious because they edges of the images are cut neater and the perspective of the images are accurate.
The technical qualities of my work are much better than projects that I have done in the past because I have used tools in Photoshop
more effectively, including learning new ways to achieve certain effects. I rotoscoped around the pieces of images I wanted to be cut out.
As I said, I did a better job of this when I experimented with the doorways. I adjusted the saturation of the images I placed in the
doorways because they were too bright in contrast to the rest of the image. In terms of how I took my original image, I used a fast
shutter speed and I also used flash because I like the way it lit up the whole frame and this looked better in an older house with less
modern décor. The space that I was taking the images in was not well lit anyway, so I know that by using flash I got a clearer and sharper
image than I would of done if I had turned flash off and depended on the natural light. I think that overall the images I have taken are
quite simple, with only a few subjects in each frame, like a bed, bedside table and lamp, or a plant in the corner. I feel that going for less
things to look at in the frame will make the image in the doorway stand out more.
5. How could you improve your work?
I could add to my work by possibly taking more images of doorways and door frame and making the work I have already
done and also the new images into a set, almost as if I was going to make them into a book. They would all be about
doorways and fantasy places, like portals to another part of the world from the comfort of your own home. I could
experiment with this by moving outdoors or to more public places, so that there are people present in the frame, and so I
would be able to take images of various spaces with door frame, and I would be able to search for different images on
Google to fill in the empty pieces in the frame. There are endless possibilities as to what kind of scenery or place you can
choose to put in the doorway but I think it looks better when the colours between the two images match, or are similar. I
could also experiment with the collages by making more, only using my own images because I only used images from
Google previously over a template of my image. I didn’t like this because you couldn’t really see any of my work, apart
from the rotoscoping, so I would like to possibly do some more collages and experiment with my own images.
I have aimed to match the colours of my image with the photograph taken from Google because I think that originally the
images were way too bright in contrast to the original image, and this made it look badly done. I changed the saturation
to achieve this, and I made the colour tone match my image which has a dull, vintage look. I actually edited the images
prior to using Photoshop to give them that vintage look. I think this made the décor look older than it is, and maybe more
classic and pure?
Do your images fulfil the brief?
I believe that that the images I have produced fulfil the brief because the overall theme was discovery, and my idea with
the doorways to other places is perfect for that. My final image shows a beautiful mountain landscape, and you can see
the lake and the trees. It’d be a great place to discover nature and new climates. For my second image I have used a
desert road in the doorway, possibly signifying the ability to travel or the wish to travel and move on, start afresh and
have endless journeys ahead of you. For my fourth image I chose a slightly more sinister image of clouds. I didn’t
particularly mean for this image to come off as discover heaven, or to die, or something like that. I guess you could say it
looks a bit like heaven, and I’d rather say that than have the meaning of dying, but I think it looks quite fantasy-like, and
well, ‘heavenly’. I decided to pick a cloud picture because of the stairs, which look as if they are leading up to them. This
fits in with the heaven idea, but also makes logical sense because clouds are higher than everything, so you would need
something like stairs to get to them. Overall I think that my images fit in well with the theme as there are plenty of
different places you could travel to, even dream of travelling to, and having a doorway to your favourite place would be
something that everyone would enjoy.
8. I have chosen this image because I think it is the one
that turned out the best, and the first one I produced
for the ghostly theme I started doing. For this image I
honestly didn’t do that much to it. I was scrolling
through Google and was lucky enough to find an image
with a black background. I moved the lady into the
place where I wanted her and then changed the layer
to ‘screen’. I moved the lady so that she looks like she is
coming through the door, which is a plus because her
legs fade away just in front of it, and the ‘glitter’ effect
at the top of the frame works well too because the
original image was already dark in that area. The light
coming from her finger gives the impression that she is
trying to light the way, like a guardian, or maybe even
darken it, as the top of the frame where she is is mostly
darker. The glitter at the top could be an effect of when
she appears. If I had to of cut around her, I think the
image would be of lesser quality because with all of the
strands of hair and the fading motion, I think it would
of looked really obvious that I had just cut her out,
especially since the edges around the head would be
more than likely jagged or missing pieces of the hair.
The original image works well overall with the ghost
because the colours are all pale and are not
overpowering to the white figure. The shot is quite
minimalist as well, with only the bed and the door
being the main subjects in the frame, apart from the
lady. This keeps your attention on her and, again, isn’t
overpowering or over the top.
9. I have chosen this image because I like how
simple it is, yet the girl is still creepy looking. I
didn’t want to use an image that had a lot
going on because then the focus wouldn’t be
on her, so this picture I took of a bedroom is
great, as well as the fact that I was able to find
an old photograph of a girl sitting on a chair. I
had to cut her out because I would not of
been able to place her in the image whilst still
sat on the chair, so I used the quick selection
tool to cut away most of the background, and
then used the polygonal lasso to get rid of
anything the select tool missed. I actually
went over her head a few times because there
were some bits that were sticking out which
made the rest of her look jagged. I also think
the colours in the image are effective. The
yellow and blue of the walls match the
painting and the bed sheets as well. The girl’s
body also looks an off-yellow colour. I like the
overall composition of the image because the
focus of the image (the girl) is in the bottom
right corner, and the left side of the picture is
practically empty because the painting and the
girl and both on the right. The whole
composition is off balance, but it works well.
10. Evaluate:
I feel that I have got better results than the first technique I tried. I think this because I was able to produce more work and be more
experimental with the final outcomes. Some of my images turned out better than others using double exposure. I think it was more of
choosing which images went best with others, or finding something that you could work around. My ghostly images are my favourite
because I was able to create a theme inside a theme – the theme of discovery – and there were plenty of images on the internet that I
could manipulate to fit in with the images I had taken. Finding images that would fit in with the pictures of architecture I had was a bit
harder because I didn’t want it to look obvious or badly done, with pieces showing in the wrong places. I came up with the idea of trying
to create and ‘underwater city’ because of the whites of the building and the bright blue of the sky. I thought it would go well with water,
and it did but those images still aren’t my favourite but they are interesting none the less.
My influence for this (mostly the ghostly images) was Clarence John Laughlin. His best known book “Ghosts Along the Mississippi”
showed nostalgic images and often captured ghostly scenes and urban landscapes. I liked the idea of “ghostly” and mysterious so I
decided to add figures to my images and see how they looked.
Qualities:
I think that my work with this technique looks good because I used a combination of layer styles and tools to cut out the subject and fit
them into the image. The pictures that needed no rotoscoping obviously look much neater than the ones that did because they take up
the whole background and only needed the layer style to be changed appropriately. The two images that I feel worked the best by only
changing the style of the layer was my final image and image 8, as the colours between the original image and the image I put over the
top combined, so the fighting scene on the castle walls doesn’t actually show in the sky because that area is too light, and because the
background of the lady in my final image was black it showed her outline perfectly and completely cancelled out the black so there was
no need for further editing. The weaker points of my work is that some of the ghosts I did cut out look a little jagged around the edges,
but fortunately the fact that I changed the layer style to make them more transparent makes it less obvious.
The technical qualities of my work are the fact that I used layer styles to change how the original image and the overlaying image
combined together, and some styles worked better on some images than they did with others. I also changed the opacity on some of the
top layers because they were too prominent, even when a layer style was added. On some of the ghostly pictures I did, I had to actually
cut around the figure because they were not on a blank background. At first I would try the quick selection tool to see if it would work
that way. Most of the time it did and I would only have to cut around parts Photoshop had missed by myself using the polygonal lasso
tool. It was often the case that some of the figures I chose off of Google images were much harder to cut around, and the selection tool
would find it difficult to recognise the different parts of the photograph from it being too dark or of lower quality, which is
understandable because I used old photographs, so I had to go and find other pictures that would be more suitable. Again, for the
original image I used a normal shutter speed and I added a vintage effect over the top before manipulating it in Photoshop. I mostly used
images that had very little going on, with hardly any features in the background. For example I took pictures of only a bed and a door in
my final image, and in image 11 you can only see the top of the bed and a painting on the wall. I feel like this minimalist look adds to the
ghostliness because apart from the figure the rest of the image is pretty much ‘empty’.
11. How could you improve your work?
I think that I could definitely create more ghostly images if I went out and took more pictures of older
buildings or less modern homes. To re-create a figure like the ones I already have I could ask people
to stand in front of a white or black background while I take their picture, and then it would be much
easier to cut around their figure than one that is almost a hundred years old. I could also try setting
up my camera on a sturdy surface and setting it to a longer shutter speed and ask someone to walk
past, or walk down some stairs to create a ghost-like effect, as they will be transparent and kind of
look like smoke depending on what shutter speed I have the camera on. Adding a black and white, or
sepia filter will make the picture look older and make it more creepy with a shadowy figure moving
past the camera. For the pictures of buildings and architecture that I took, I could develop that and
take images of more urban and modernised areas, and put an image of a wooded or overgrown area

Do your images fulfil the brief?
I believe that the images I have produced do fulfil the brief and do link into the theme of discovery. I
think that the idea I was going for with this technique was mostly to do with the past, or history.
Discovery involves people’s beliefs and I know that not everyone believes in ghosts but everywhere
has a past and to me the thought of ghosts and souls that were once there interest me a lot, and how
people find them quite terrifying is just as intriguing. Discovery is also finding out about the past and
about your ancestors and learning how different things were and how things have changed. There
are also people who are ghost hunting enthusiasts and love the paranormal. Ghosts and the
paranormal also link in with religion and cultural beliefs, which I listed on my mind map. Also, ghosts
are things that are still mysterious and somewhat unknown to us, as there are still people who are
highly sceptic of them, while there are others who are strong believers. I think that the images I have
produced are linked to discovery, because discovery is something that needs to be done and needs to
be uncovered, and the paranormal is something that we do not have solid facts about, as of yet.
