Camera Shots & Angles


  • Extreme Long Shot- Shot that shows entire object or human figure.
  • Long Shot- includes an amount of picture within the frame which roughly corresponds to the audience's view of area.

  • Full Shot-type of long shot which includes human body in full, with the head near the top of the frame and feet near the bottom
.
  • Mid Shot- shot of a figure generally includes the body from the knees or waist up


  • Close up- detailed view of a person or object, without much context provided.
  • Extreme close up- shot of a actor's eyes or mouth


  • Birds eye- shot in which camera photographs from over head

  • High angle- shot in which the subject is photographed from above.


  • Low angle- Shot where subject is photographed from below


  • Eye level- camera is 5 to 6 fro the ground corresponding to the hight of a observer.

3 Favorite Shots-
-Low angle: it's almost like you can capture the whole atmosphere and beauty of the area
-close up: I think close ups on eyes are really cool because every eye is different
-Mid shot: You can get enough with this shot to probably get the idea of something.

Tape and Curl




 For this assignment, I did 2 tutorials for Tape and Curl effects. On the Tape tutorial, I made a small rectangle and added color and textures to it. Then, I took the eraser tool and carefully smooth and made the tape more transparent. Also, I took different brushes and made the sides look more jagged. Then, I placed them where I wanted on my photo and added a drop shadow to the tape and picture. Next, on the curl tutorial, I took another photo of myself and grabbed the rectangle marquee tool to make a selection. Then, I used the gradient tool with black and white and filled in the selection with that. Next, I deselected the rectangle and used the warp tool. There, I carefully grabbed the bottom left corner and moved it towards the center but not too much since I can't show any part of the original photo in the curl area. Finally, I added a drop shadow to the picture.

Perfume Ad

 For this assignment I made a Perfume Ad for the made up brand "Spirit Perfume/Cologne". First, I selected a picture of myself from homecoming because when I think of the brand and its slogan, I think of someone going out and doing what they want to do (which makes their inner self show). Therefore, I made a vignette version of the picture and added the slogan with bevel and emboss adjustments. Next, I found a perfume bottle that has a tree on it and it sort of went with the theme I was thinking of. I used the eraser tool and carefully cut it out of the original picture. After that, I made another text which using the brand name. Also, I made a drop shadow and bevel/emboss adjustment. I wasn't really sure what to do after that and I know if I had more time to think about it, the assignment would have turned out better.

Glamour Shots


High Pass                         Focused Zoom


                                   Sepia Tone                       Vignette                  


Color

 For this assignment, I had to take my makeover photo and use different techniques on it for other effects. The first one was the High Pass which I had to duplicate my photo and use the high pass filter on it for a more sharper or grainier look. Then I did the Focused Zoom technique that involved me duplicating the pic once more and using the Gaussian Blur. Also, I brighten the picture using the brightness/contrast adjustment. Then, using a little of the opacity, I added a mask and used the brush tool to bring back my face into focus.
Next, I used the Sepia Tone where I desaturated the photo and used the varations adjustment. In there, I moved the Fine/Coarse slider down some and clicked the red and yellow. Then, the next effect was the Vignette where I took the Burn tool and set it to midtones. After that, I moved it around the edges of the picture to darken it. For a more darker effect, I also used the eliptical marquee tool and selected my face while inversing the picture. Then, I added a brightness/contrast adjustment for the final effect. Finally, I did the Color effect for my photo. First, I desaturated the photo and used the history brush to bring color back to myself but not the background.

My Makeover


 So for my makeover, I first decided that I wanted to smooth my skin. Therefore, I duplicated the photo and made a mask and used a noise filter. Then, I changed my eye color by making a new layer and used 2 hazel iris sized circles on my eyes and changed the layer to a hue blend. After that, I made another new layer and used the quick selection tool to select the whites of my eyes then made a hue/saturation adjustment to whiten them. Next, I added highlights to my eyes by going over with a white brush on the parts that I wanted to brighten and changed the layer mode to hue. Then, using the same hue technique, I colored over my eye makeup to refresh it a little. Also, I did a similar thing with my lips to make them a little more pink. Finally, I used a blue brush to go over parts of my hair to give highlights to it. I also had used the hue blend mode for this layer too.

Makeovers

Hair Color

Nose Job


Skin Tone


Teeth Whitening


Wrinkle Removal


Eye Makeup

 In this assignment, I had to do multiple makeover tutorials. The first one at the top, Changing Hair Color, involved me making a quick mask on the picture and selecting parts of the girl's hair to use a hue/saturation adjustment for the color purple. On the next one, Modifying Nose, I used the picture of the girl and made a selection around her nose. Then, I went into the liquefy mode and  used the pucker tool to remove the bulge in her nose. Next I did the Skin Tone tutorial and selected the highlights of the girls face. Then, I used the eyedropper tool and selected some normal skin and made a new layer to fill that color in the selection. After that, I changed the layer mode to color and lowered the opacity to blend it in more. The next tutorial was the Whitening Teeth, where I used the dodge tool to whiten the lady's teeth in the picture. I couldn't use too much since otherwise it would've looked fake and overpowering. After that for the Wrinkle Removal tutorial, I took the lady's picture and used the healing tool to make her look younger. Finally the last tutorial was the Eye Makeup one. For this assignment, I was to use a picture of a girl's eye and use the brushes to apply realistic looking fake makeup. I also had to tone down the opacity so it wasn't overpowering. On the purple part, I used the eraser tool to add some sort of gradient effect. Not to mention applying a touch of the burn tool to bring out the colors. Overall, it was pretty easy for me and would only apply minor touch ups if I had the time.
