memory test

POP ART – Memory test

2.1 Use contextual awareness to support the development of ideas for visual production.









Q1 – Detail two reasons why we change the ISO
If you shooting outside the weather conditions might be different and you will have to change the iso to a higher sensitivity if the weather is bright you will set the iso to 100 if it was dark you will have to set the iso to a higher level.

If you have to use a fast shutter speed you will have to change the iso to avoid getting a blurry picture.  

Q2 – Explain the difference in depth of field between a wide and a narrow apature
Wide depth of field mean you have more of the picture in focus and shallow depth of field will have less in focus

A bigger the apature the shallower the depth of field and a lower apature will be the wider depth of field

Q3 – List four consideration you had to take into account when producing your pop-art photography. For example, depth of field, shadows etc)
What I would do to make a photo in focus would press the camera shot button half way so it is in focus

To get no shadows I had to make sure the lighting was on top of the object of interest to create no shadows

 I set the iso to 500 because I wanted it high so I can obtain a lot of light in the photo and obtain detail in the shot without it being to grainy

I chose to center my object because I only wanted the object not the background

I wanted a shallow depth of field because I only wanted to have the object of interest in focus
So I chose I bigger aperture  

Q4. Describe when would you choose to use the ‘A’ and the ‘P’ modes on a camera
 A mean auto and p means program
 You will chose a for a moving object  I would

I would chose p to have more control over the settings so I would use this taking portraits

Andrew Warhola was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His parents had emigrated to the USA from Ruthenia, a region now in the Slovak Republic.
In 1963, Warhol began to make experimental films. His studio, known as the Factory, became a meeting point for young artists, actors, musicians and hangers-on. One of these, Valerie Solanas, shot and seriously wounded him in 1968.

proseses

here I have painted  a red colour over my letter
and then I have changed the effect of the image to multiply so the colour overlay would only effect the letter
the outcome of this did not go expectedly but I was very helpful with the outcome  


here I am using the cropping to crop my image straight

here I have changed the levels tool because I wanted to see more detail on the subject

here I have changed the levels tool because I wanted to see more detail on the subject

here I have changed the levels tool because I wanted to see more detail on the subject

here I have changed the levels tool because I wanted to see more detail on the subject

final piece

here is my final piece. I love the outcome because it looks gothic and modern at the same time that is what I love about it I think this final piece show more of my skill and shows that I am still learning

4 edited images




here is my four final edited images before I Photoshop them together
I think each letter came out good I think it looks good and the detail is still there. it is a good thing because I wanted to see the detail and the modern side of the letters
 

proposal

The project is about Pop Art and the brief is to produce a graphical piece of work
I intend to create a pop art style piece in Photoshop and my theme is based on 'Words'.

I chose this theme because I was inspired by my research, my research was on pop art, I noticed that not much Pop Art work had words involved in their piece and so i decided to do my final piece using words.

I will need to bring my wooden letters from home to photograph them and edit them in Photoshop for my background. I am going to use a black background to make the bright colours stand out.

I will use the lights to produce various shades of light to see different colours that will show up. I will also try using different ISO setting to see how the outcome will be. I will do this by switching some of the light switches off to darken the light 

I think the photos will take me 1 hour to an hour and a half to take them depending on the conditions I will use the ISO 100 so I can get more detail on my final images that I will take I will take 10 images of each shape and choose the best images out of the images.

I will take in the total of 60 imaged if not 40 I will ten make them into a contact sheet and then choose the best.
