Before and After pictures

I would like to do a re-shoot for these photographs because the angles are not the same as the original ones and I have also some how managed to take the picture and capture it with my finger in the corner. I took these photos off my phone the reason I did this was because my phone is on me all the time and i was just passing by that location annd thought I could do my home work now.

Homework Task


Our homework was to take 5 photographs to make a story but we not allowed to set it up so it could be going out with some mates and just taking some shots not necessarily with a digital camera but it can be with a mobile phone with a camera on it. This is due in for Friday 21st October 2011.

Full monkey hanging song/story book

This is a video showing the images we have created going with the song. Some images are missing because some people never handed the work in, also the chorus has not been done so I just found an image of a monkey from the marina.

This is the book but some writing and images are missing from peoples images because they have not completed their task or not handed it in.

Final image

This is the final image of the monkey hanging song, the reason we have chosen comic sans for the font because it looks like it is from a comic book also because its looks neat. The overall image looks perfect, the correct dimensions not too much detail still colourful and shows what the lyrics are saying. I think I have chosen the perfect model which is Bobby Hammond, he looks like a stereotype police man from when they found the monkey.

Thank you Bobby Hammond for letting me take photographs and giving your time up.

My First attempt to my final image.

This image bright and colourful which would be expected in a story book but it looks too much like a photograph still and that is not the objective of the project. I like the part of the tunic were you can see the detail on it. I also like the sea because it has been captured while the waves are starting to break.

My Tutors attempt at designing my image.

I think the image looks too dark and grainy for a story book image. I like the idea of seeing the detail in the models face and on the note book. Half of the image looks black and white, for a story book type effect this will not look good enough for me.

My Second attempt at cartoonising my image.   

This image shows most of the detail in the models face and the sea, there is still some colours in the image that makes the image belongin a story book. I think that the image has turned out better than I expected.

This slide show is to show how my image started and going through the stages of development. I think that the slide show doesnt show enough detail so if I do something like this again I will explain each stage so other people who are not familiar with photoshop it will help them to understand what is changing and why.

Photo shoot for constable Parsons

The location of the shoot was seaton beach on some of the shots looking onto the headland were the monkey was actualy found. I tryed to use different angles in this shoot so I had many images to work with in the photoshop task. The model is my detachment commander from the Royal Marine Cadets Mr Bobby Hammond. The clothing is the Royal Marine tunic (jacket) with plain black trousers and black boots. The props he is using is my little black note pad and a small brown pencil.

The reason why I did this photo shoot was because I could not find a large enough image of a police man licking his pencil. All the images I could find was pixelated also because it shows that I have done some work outside of my course. I think that this photo shoot was a great success for the task I have been given.

My Part of the Hartlepool Monkey Hanging song

Chorus

Constable Parsons, he hurried to the scene,
He viewed the situation and he licked his pencil clean.
He said 'Causing a disturbance is a serious offence,
And everything you say it will go down in evidence'.



In this project we were given a part of the monkey hanging legend song to create into a book. This is my part of the song I got given. My idea was to get a male model wearing black trousers and black tunic. The location is going to be on seaton beach facing the headland which is were the monkey was found. There will be props such as pencil and a note pad because in the lyrics the constable parson is licking his pencil clean and this is what I want the male model to do for me.

My attempt at the mixer brush tutorial

Original Image

Final Image

I found this tutorial difficult to follow, I think that the tutorial was set out so I could understand the different stages but I couldnt follow it I found it quite difficult to do. So I think my image doesnt look as good as I wanted to look like, if I had the chance to redo this tutorial I would take my time and chose a different image to work on because it has got the website on the bottom or it and it ruins the image. I used the mixer brush to do this tutorial.
