Development One
My Plan
Within my development I hope to...
1. combine influences from each of my 3 chosen artists
2. make sure my work is about my theme
3. include my own research and ideas
My first try at this is in Development 1. I will create a combination of my two artists using Photoshop .
a series of three edited photos of my two artists work combined
Taking my Photos/Footage
In this Photo/Film shoot I intend to... combine my two artists , Hamid Rastin and Paul Reiffer.
Do you need any specific people to model, or objects to photograph? Why have you chosen them? a glass ball as my artist 2 uses it so I am also using it to further develop from there and create my development 1.
What equipment do you need? (DSLR Camera, Tripod, Macro Lens, Studio Lighting etc.) And why have you chosen to use these? I used my phone to take the photographs.
Do you need to take your photos at a specific location, or with a specific background?
i need images taken in Iran and then images taken in England.
What compositional rules or formal elements are you intending on using when taking your photos? rule of thirds
Contact Sheet of the Raw, Unedited Photos/Footage I will use
My Outcome
To edit my photo of my England background I opened it in Adobe Photoshop and then also opened my image taken in Iran . I began with choosing two images that I had taken ,one being the background and one being edited inside a glass ball. I then used the object select tool to crop the glass ball and then pressed the layer mask button .Then i changed the blending mode on the photo so that it showed clearly through the ball.
To edit my photo of I opened it in Adobe Photoshop/Premier Pro and I lined up the background picture and the picture that needs to be edited inside the glass ball. I then used the object select tool to select the glass ball I then pressed the layer mask button and changed the blending mode on the image so that the colours of the photo came through clearly. I then used the eraser or tool to refine edges of the glass ball.
To edit my photo I opened it in Adobe Photoshop and I began by choosing a background photo and chose another image to go inside the glass ball i then sized it down to the glass ball size. I then pressed the layer mask and changed the blending mode on the image so that it shows through the glass ball. I then used the eraser tool to remove any edges that overlapped the background image.
Review
How has it gone?
It has gone pretty good but I can improving my editing in photoshop my perfecting edges on objects within the image.
What are you pleased about?
i am most pleased with my edit 1 as it is the most smoothly edited but all my images show a clear combination of two countries, England and Iran within the images.
In my next Development
To make my next development work even better I need to:
Keep doing: editing images inside a glass ball
Do less of: similar landscapes and switch it up.
Do more of: incorporating my artist 1 and 4
