Loop

This was an effort working in a team. Only 2 of us turned up the 1st week..We we all did get 2gether and brought a flim the camera was broken so we had to get another. We spent ages trying to get it on computer only to be told that we had to do it on diff comput.. So couldn't do it that day. Then girl with film was sick that week . The next week my son was sick so i wasnt at school, everyone in my group had done it cept me.But all finished now.
EDITING- This was sooo so interseting . I was inspired by what could be done . Especially as in art theary we had been discussing , Structualist film and Art of Noise . This would have been great to have gone into in more deppth.

Creating Loop

Camera use, don"t force. Can override auto focus.
Movement- pan=Tripod smoothly steadly mark end & start posit.
Tilt vertical span, up7 down, can use body, waist back & shoulders.
Wide lens not show as much variations smooth. Long lens= bumpy earthquakey.
Moving shot -dolly=moving track-shuffle using body or u get walk movement.
Zoom lens- unnatural-not move forward- n-doesn"t change image.TRICK= start at tight point & move back tp wide or shoot backwards
Steady use instead of dolly (http://www.steadycam.org/)
Clap board=match & line up tell u lots of info.
Got 2 know whta take u want=put fingerin front oif camera & mark between takes.
written & spoken takes. Tail slate upside down =previous take, rightside up=next take.
Film formats 1:1;33 1:1.85 1:.2.39 16.9. Format changes compo of picture
Cature images to comput= wiki
Xdrive=2gs . Firewire to transfer imagesAlways turn off. Camera to compt =rightway.Turn on Cam Turn on Comput

Snow on a beach

This is abit rough too. Joined a summer and winter toghether, Bloody computer crashed. I should blend in the shore and water.

Remix Opera House 2

Playing around with effects. Can you do a differant effect for each layer. Must try.

Remix Opera House 1


This took me about 2 hours at home. I wanted to crop it but once i did that i couldn't muck around with it. I am excited that i got it to upload etc . Looks like crap but used free hand so at least it is up there. I wanted to take this & put it on the shore of a lake.

REMIX Boys on a beach

okay here is my first photo. At the colour of my hair it maybe my last.This was actually really fun to do and will try to do some more at home. I used the earaser, clone and paint brush for this image. I cut out the people in the background of the beach & cut the boys out of a kitchen photo. I then moved the boys onto the beach.
