Pixillation

We were set the task of producing a short clip made out of a set of still images that were put into Premiere Pro to create movie. As a group we first decided to follow a ticket warden around to demonstrate what they do and it was a bit like a day in the life of the ticket warden. After we were done we realised that we didn't have enough images left so we had to change the idea because we could not fine the same guy. Our next idea was to take images of monuments around Nottingham town center and the local park. We all had to do individual edits of it, I decided to make my piece look old fashioned by adding a sepia type of filter to it on Photoshop. I did consider adding grain to it but thought it would not work out if i had to compress the movie at any point. After i did all the filters and all I imported it into Premiere Pro which I have to admit took me a while, I actually hated the program as I have never used it before and personally found it hard to use. I think its because I forgot how to do half of the settings. Thankfully I managed to finish it successfully and added a classical song to it to set the mood of the whole thing.

Example of reflective practice

During our lecture we were told to give a example of reflective practice. My one is quite common as its to do with a test we had in class and I didnt revise for it thinking i could get away with it. Most people might ave predicted this and I didnt do so well in it. From then on I learnt from my mistakes and when I got a chance to retake it I made sure I revised and I did sooo much better. This taught me never to underestimate anything and always be prepared.

White board animation

During induction week we did a short animation on white board, it kind of reminded me of a music vedio for one of Lemon Jelly songs. We didnt really decided what we were going to draw as a groupe instead we just went with the flow and made it up as we went along. The end product we ended up with was a stick man getting wings, abit like the redbull advert and some random worm taking the box away from the man. I enjoyed this kind of animation as you could really use your imagination and just go along with mad ideas.

pin hole cameras

This is the first time Iv tried using a pin hole cam and I have to say I was quite impressed with it, who knew a beer can could be more useful then I thought. I think the bast part of it is when you develop your images as you never know what they are going end up like. I tried diffrent exposer times and realised that the longer I exposed it to light the better the contrast appeared on the final photo. Another thing I learnt was that its best to keep it on a flat surface as this stops the image form blurring.
