My Final Outcome

In my Final Outcome I have been inspired by my artists works and the style in which they take their photographs as it is satisfying to the eye. I liked the way my artist (Hamid Rastin used a monochrome filter over his photographs),i also liked the fact that my other artist peter Grego used face paint to show his heritage so then I also incorporated that concept into my final piece. Overall , the fact that I am Persian inspired me more to do this project as I had a connection with this piece as it really represents a part of me.

edit my film I used Adobe Photoshop to begin with. firstly I layered up all the raw material photos. I then positioned the picture of the glass balls onto both sides of the images aligning them so they were at the same level. I then added the image of the person looking across to the other person in the other orb and used the burn tool to colour the background of the glass balls black in order for it to blend in with the background of the photograph that has been placed into the images. Next i switched onto premier pro and uploaded the videos of the paint first  and positioned them above the image i just edited from photoshop. Then i changed the blending mode on the image so that the paint was clearly visible. Next I added the audio of me speaking onto premier pro and then added a song called cotton cloud off YouTube off snapsave. 

I have been really pleased with every component in my final piece as each part has a significant meaning to why I incorporated it towards my final piece. The paint represented countries, the people within the orb presented the typical clothing in Iran and England ,the backgrounds display photos taken in Iran and England which ties in how I am living in England but my family are all from Iran and how both countries are a part of makes up me .
