Campaign Blog:D

Today the hole class were split in two groups, and are doing different things then we will swap after a few weeks . At first i was a bit annoyed that i was spplit up from jess but Its okaii coz im with some decent peopel :) and worked well . it was all team work and Mr Hind showed us a few flyers for ideas and also we looked at the yellow pages adverts to also see a few good and bad points about advertising something and incouraging people to buy or call the advert\leaflet.ect. Then we had to come up with a tem name for our group of 3's which we still havent thought of as its hard to come up with a name that suites us and that sounds catching and bold! hopefully we will come up with a good one ....... Soon . After a while we mr hind gave us a subject to do our advertising flyer which was Sandwhiches that we devoved to people that wok so we came up with " Super Sandwiches * Which i love :) :L .. .also we had to think of the text to go with it and our slogon that was " We bring you a sandwhich and a Smile " we thought this would catch the puplic eye somehow as for once they dont have to go and get their sandwhiches all they do is call and order and we deliver!. ..

Here are some of the pictures we took that we are going to edit and se them for our flyer.

this image of a cup of coffee really worked well but took ages to get it right, but worked in a good way as the colours went together and made the coffee which was the main subject stand out.Also there is lead in lines to make it look more attractive and perfessional.

This picture of our main subject the sandwich , is the most important and we wanted it to be almost perfect. we tried lots of different things and took loads and loads of pictures at different angles and did different things with each one, but this perticular one was the Best one by far.

Photography 2 .. :)

well my legs are going to fall off ! We have walked like 1000 miles todayy :/ up to town to fitzwiliam museum back into town and around town then to mill road then walked round a graveyard that was mouldy then walked back to parkside OMG! it has gone on forever ! Anyway , today we visited fitzwilliam museum and walked round there lookign at different paintings and imagry and writing down the techniques it had sush as the subject the rule of thirds, lean in lines, angle, perspective, the framing, The fore ground,mid and background, Tonality, the contrast also the texture! of different paintings. the museum was really quite boring because there wasnt much practical to do and it was just so dull and lame also as it was soo quiet and i felt like people were watching you wherever you were it felt quite uncomfortable. :/

After we late to get back from our meeting point :S we walked to mill road graveyard and had to take photos by using our imagination , it was really hard to think of a good image and also as its a graveyard it was quite hard to get a good picture as it was quite dull and didnt want to stand all over the graves or lay down as we were probably layign on some dead person :/ so we started taking simple pictures but didnt wuite work soo well

Henri cartier bresson ..

This example of one of henri cartier bresson's images is good for leade in lines as soon as you look at this you follow the lines of the gates going through the picture and also creates a sort of perspective by the way the gates go out into the distance so this is also a really interesting picture as its also like a story.

This picture is a good example of a framed image, its framded by the hole in the wall and looking through the perspective distance alsothe subject is the children playing so its not just plain framed image it has a subject to look at in the frame this really catched the eye again as its a Fantastic technique for taking a picture.

This picture is one of my favourites because i like the way your eye follows the heads and immediatly goes in a spiral sort of shape and also this picture is perspective and goes straight up but has an effect as its not just staright and when you first look at it you look at the distance and then follow the childrens heads.

<-- This picture also will catch your eye as its perspective and your eyes go straight down to the subject in a straight line, this picture is interesting to look at as the have the soilders in one straight line then suddenly the young girl poking her head out like this picture has a story or background to it like all the others.














this picture shows you the lines that your eye follows straight away also the bike is on the intersection of the third so this also catches your eye straight away.

Photographyy ;)

well today was the photography part of the course and was actually funny as well as good. we got to go out and take pictures of the outside but use our creative ideas to make it different angles and perspective also facing up or looking down on something and framing things also to use the rule of thirds, all these different types of skills to take pictures and it was actually quite enjoyable. Some of our pictures were good but some were really bad lol on one we framed nothing ( a bit of a bush ) in between Jessica legs omg what a laugh that was. But the good thing was i got to worked with good old Jessica lol.. when we got back we uploaded our pictures off the camera on the mac and chose the good ones and edited them .

More from Mr D.

Very good blogging, Shona. I'm sorry that you had a bit of a negative experience editing!

Editing :/ ..

This session we edited our vox pops and made them into s film with music and slides of all our interviews it was really interesting to exsperience this as its what perfessionals would do . But i found it really difficult and as a group i didnt really do anything i was so confused like always .. but at times i did watch a try to learn then when i came to try it out didnt even know what i was doing id forgotten everything then just click random things :s it did really irritate me that i couldnt do it and every one seem to manage. but the good thing is i said what they should do and what bits to put in and how to set it out ...

In the end we did achieve a good film that was decent :) but not so decent music ! :D ..
I couldnt say i learnt much the fact i couldnt actually do it and my group didnt really explain to me what they were doing i was just liek whaaa!! .. It was enjoyable at some point to watch the film back and add effects to it and make the voices change higher and deeper !
Bu tthe most successful part is finishing the film and watching to back and turned out to be good have the images at the right time with the music and the tittle pages before and after images to tell the audience what we asked the public and what ours were about.

I think i can improve in the future by practising how to use the prgram and hopefully gettign the hang on it and also to listen and pay more attention in the future so i know what im doing on the program and actually know what im clicking becuase i want to be able to make a film gettign involved and actually doing something :/ not just sayign what i think they should do .
By the end of the course i hope to know all theese things and made a film and do all sorts of things and be prous of it not just sayign i didnt know what to do and i was soo confused.

So this session for me was bad as i wasnt sure how to use the program and didnt really get chance to eathier :S ..
