Myths.

Women are seen beautiful in the western world.It’s changing. Ideology. (time is relevant)

Media can make or break a myth.

Ideology – Dominant reading – Negotiated reading – Opposite reading.

Always give the bigger picture.

Debunk the myth, Represent reality as much as possible.

Immigration – lazy, animals, jobs, integration.

Why did this happen??? Los Angeles riot.

American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson

Good guys (white) – Bad guys (Mexican, Latin American, Black)

2011 England riots –

Citizen journalism.

 

An Image Collage with Mr.Bugeja – Newspaper brainstorm – Hhhmmmmmm…….

The fake newspaper will consist of the theme technology and the lack of in our country.

The headline is the abundant service from ISP’s in this small country, the stories the media is afraid to share.

The headline picture will have a split screen with the customer on the line with a computer in the background saying internet unavailable while banging his or her head with a wall. While on the other side an image of the Isp technician sipping coffee and not doing anything.

All of [Lars Tunbjörk’s] energy has focused on the exploration of color, which he treats with a vast knowledge of the research of the great American photographers of the 1970’s.
With time, his work grew more radical, refined, and became less anecdotal, ending with a series in which he no longer represents individuals but imposes the often absurd traces of their presence and actions.

    Photoshop – Editing Photos is my Job….. T1- Pt2

    The Main reason photoshop is used is to edit photos or anything that has to do with raster based images. Other uses for PhotoShop are resizing, photo restoration, website graphics, website designs and animation.

    Josselin Cornou is a famous Photoshopper who is featured in a blog post on the Adobe Blogs.

    https://blogsimages.adobe.com/photoshop/files/2017/07/josselin_cornou__an_early_morning_in_paris.jpg

    The previous image is an effortless use of photoshop. Just a use the Black and white tool to create the black and white effect. Then pipette the top colour and form a blank layer on it. After using the gradient fill with a mask to create a gradient effect.

    Experiment

     

    The first thing I do is place the item in their place.

     

    2017-11-15 23_52_49-Prizeday 2017.psd @ 16.7% (La Vittoria Band Club, RGB_8) _

    Here I blurred the background to give the foreground more importance.

    image2

    The images where too blunt so using a mask to Blend them together helps.

    image 3

    The title text wasn’t prominent enough, so a contrasting colour on the outside helped.

    Also breaking up the images using an oval pen tool gives the look of a professional feel.

    The Logos where being drowned in the colour that’s behind them.

    And this is the Final Output.

    Premiere Pro – Turing into the industry standard….. T1- Pt1

    Today I found out that Deadpool (2016), Gone Girl (2014) and Hail, Caesar! (2016) Have 1 thing in common, they are all edited in Premiere Pro. Usually, films are edited in Avid Media Composer but since 2014 since when the creative cloud was born more and more independent filmmakers, and production houses are using Premiere.

    The Adobe Creative Cloud is a group of programmes that work seamlessly with each other to give a smoother experience to the editor. So if I create an image in photoshop, I can link it within premiere without exporting in Tiff. For example. This also helps when fixing a simple thing in photoshop continuing to the previous case, since the file is linked nothing needs to be reported. Hence making the life of the editor easier.

    Back to the films being edited nowadays on Premiere, it’s still a high production value movie and this way we can see that Adobe is expanding into the market and giving the people what they want regarding software compatibility and ease of use.

    The Editor of Deadpool Julian Clarke explains how it’s effortless to integrate with After Effects a compositing programme, instead then exporting each time and using the application just to cut and dissolve you can use premiere to link to the composting software and seamlessly edit and fix minor details rather than phoning the composting company to have it sent to you the next day.

    The following experiment is a project I did voluntarily for my local band club about the history of the same band club its self on the anniversary of the 110 years from the first time it started.

    Although the sound was edited in ProTools with a bunch of audio processing on the Voice Over and automation for the music, the rest was edited in Premiere Pro with After Effects to track and create an easily the blur effect shown below.

    2017-11-01 00_08_04-.png

    Now since I have a 5 monitor set up a build for editing, I use all the available screen space to efficiently and quickly use the programme and lose less time on finding stuff.IMG_20170929_175318.jpg

    When I use any type of programme, I organise everything the best I can.

    Each time I edit a new Project I like to take it a step further by learning new techniques and trying to improve as I go. Below you can find the finished edit on YouTube.

    Task 1 – Issues

    ACAT Ambient Ad -  Back of seats

    This campaign was launched mainly in Switzerland back in 2009. The ACAT is a Christian non-governmental organisation to Flight against torture and protects victims of abuse. So spread awareness on this topic Y&R agency network created this simple yet effective advertising for this cause.

    As we can see above these were placed where people sit after each other to make it more realistic in a sense to the reader at the back of that seat. While the public transport will have a broader audience, the cinema and public benches will also work.

    I think that this is a very ingenious move and it was perfectly executed for a better understanding of the issue and how people can be aware and come aware of it using everyday settings.

    WWF Fish Head Climate Change ad photo

    This Social issue by the WWF concerns global warming how it affects animals and our environment and evidently how it will effect us as humans. This campaign was back in 2011 and is still relevant today.

    This image was posted on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and other social media.

    The impact on the audience is that if something isn’t done about it, the coming generations will have to live with it. Since 2009 a lot has changed and that more and more countreys are being on board with it.

    My own take is that it’s practical and easy to understand. But I fear that its too blunt and this can be a positive or a negative it depends on how you look at it.

    Ecovia Print Ad -  Stop the Violence, Don't drink and drive

    This is a campaign against drinking and driving and there a total of 5 images with the same meaning but different people and vehicles to illustrate this. The Agency network is the Terremoto network. The campaign was released in January of 2017.

    The effects of the “punch” are exaggerated in the impact of post-production to improve the effectiveness of the issue. According to a survey done by the CDC in America in 2015 10,265 people alone died from drink and driving.

    Even if this helps just 2 lives, it justifies it’s effectiveness to the issue.

    How drink and driving are illustrated is childishly but it a more knowledgeable person can understand and relate to their childhood.

    Liking Isn't Helping

    Liking isn’t helping the social issue. How can we share and like a cause and sit there and do nothing. This is something that happens on social media and through this campaign, the irony comes out would we really do this in real life, would we react this way or differently.

    The objective is to highlight how we have become to react to negative issues and how it impacts our daily lives.

    Although it was released back in 2014 its still relevant today.

    Paper Dispenser

    This is a similar campaign from the WWF about global warming but rather this time it’s about how we as humans cut trees left right and centre all we care about is our pockets, but not the people that come after us or the next generation.

    The change from everything green to almost nothing (left to right)  is the contrast the designers want to create.

    My personal reflection is that we shouldn’t use paper as often as we use it, it’s sometimes simpler to get out your phone and use it but, if you have to use a paper use it but if you always can recycle it so it can be reused or given another life rather than throwing it away.

    Bund is based on research done that every 1 minute or 60 seconds a species die because of hunger, lack of habitat and also how we humans treat the world. This organisation aimed at people who love animals to give a donation to help reduce this number.

    When you see the above image, the human being in me gets shocked to what I know, but this is the hard truth we have to face. I think its appealing and eye-catching therefore its sufficient to its purpose and how the CG animator gave the scene the dark colour scheme and how it is framed as we have this power over them really blends everything together.
