What we had to do today was get everything ready for the next day for when we are going to shooting for our advert. We had completed everything form the proposal and printing out the images and creating a logo for our advert. So we as a team set to it and we decided we would have our suit and horse mask set in different location before the actor would turn around in an unusual way while having a drastic change in music from jazz to a dramatic build up. The ending will be set on a minor note making a high pitched surprising noise to finish of our advert. Then we would use the JPEG image that i made as a promotion featuring 60% off.

Here is the image below.

I found this very easy to accomplish as i have had experience before with Photoshop so i was very confident and familiar with the tools to create a quick promotional piece that we would use towards the end. 

We also decided that our advert is going to be dramatic and also have a funny twist towards the end with the actor turning his head fast with a surprised look.

Evaluation

What was successful about my design?

I think the best part about my design is that i have been able to make it look professional and also make it look to stand out. i have created this by using bold colors in the middle splitting between a dark and light faded area bringing your attention to the center.

Also what i did to make it more attractive is i changed the color of the 60% OFF to make it stand out as sales always attract a customers eye for example in shop windows where they would have a huge banner with the word sale on it with a bright red background.

What could i improve on?

I could have used my own media for example using my own images of me in a horsemask. I decided to take it even further and place my advert on a billboard.

How did i achieve this?

It pretty simple and quick. Firstly i erased the background of the original billboard then i placed my image onto this one. Then to make my image fit the billboard i then simply held CTRL+T  then click and held on of the corners then just held CTRL so i could skew my image onto the billboard so it didn't loose shape. But then i noticed the my image was too bright for the background. So i selected image then changed the hue /saturation and lowered the contrast and brightness of my image to make it look more realistic. I then went further and added a grunge effect and then edited the opacity so it was visible but also transparent.

What did I do today?

Firstly we was shown and introduced to a red light which would give us light to help us with our photos and give them light in the areas we needed encase it was dark.

We then got 6 props and then we would go off and take a pictures of them under the red light. Then we would then take these images and put them onto Photoshop and edit the contrast and brightness. We achieved this by editing the curves and the levels to make our image have more brightness.

 

this is a before and after pic the one above is not edited and the one below has been cropped and also has had it s curves and levels edited.

My final outcome
I found this very easy and simple and i was able to create this image from a series of already generated images from the internet.

all it took was few tools to create this:
I used the magic wand tool to erase the background off of my images i had taken and then placed them onto the main piece.

simply using CTRL + T i was able to arrange the images to the size and rotation i wanted to help suit this piece the best.

some images where an off color to what i wanted but easily i used the hue/saturation tool on this picture to make it silhouette looking making it as dark as i can

subversive adverts are a creation of something original but changing it into a more drastic way e.g making a company look bad by taking one of their sayings and advertising and then changing it.
so like what i have done above and what others have done below.

What i have done today

Firstly we got split up into production groups to make a freaky advert

My Team consisted of me, Eden and Oscar also known as team 4.

What skills can we bring.

ME
Good at photoshop
Good at football


EDEN
Make-up

OSCAR
Weird Mask
Not shy in front of camera

TAYLOR

Ideas?

We thought about making an advert for a suit for to make it more weird we could have Oscar in a suit but with a horse mask which he owns.

What can we do extra?

We could reshape our faces and edit them in weird ways for example making our faces long or when we open our mouths we could enlarge our mouths to the point its surreal.

We then looked at 3 adverts:

Little Baby's ice-cream    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erh2ngRZxs0
We found this weird because of the direct eye contact along with the person covered in ice cream eating the ice cream of their head. I t also made us feel sick as well as being creep-ed out especially with it being a close up shot.


Gold bond liqui-shaq    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tF2dF67Q2c
We seen this as a normal advert until the guys face started bending in a surreal way that made us all laugh. We got the idea that we need to implement this into our advert to make it even more weird without even adding any props or scenery.


Scary McDonalds ad     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob0GbuUr8wc
We seen this advert as funny as first but then it got dark and the clown started being weird and once the kid ate the food he got angry and punched the kid which was not expected and the mood set waas cheerful and full of happy high pitch and fast tempo music then it slowed down and the sound got deeper and set a gloomy mood which we could do for our ad make it have a mood swing form good to bad or bad to worse.




Extra bits to add for the advert.
We can up with a name and a slogan
the slogan was going to be "Ride With Pride"
and the name of the product we are selling (suit)will be called "Horse Master Suits"

we thought about doing weird poses in the suit and mask but change the area and pose every time

I will be the narrator commenting over it. My speech is still TBA

We also decided to use jazz music for this advert to set a silly but calm mood for the viewers.

Places we have chosen to set this so far are:
Narnia (just behind the college)
Market Square
Victoria Centre

Photography  - LUMIX F238

Firstly we got put into four groups of four or more and got set a task to go out and copy and image that has already been taken form a book that we all had and had o take four images between each group. Then when we got back it was a game with which group can find the image used from the other groups who had replicated that image from the book and we had to find it.

what have i learnt?

1. I learnt a lot more about the cameras we used such as what a lens protector does such as blocks sunlight and protects the lens if dropped and other components from the shutter to the view finder.
2. I have learnt how to replicate an image and find the right angle and pose needed to recreate that image
3. We also looked at the different programs and found out what P.A.S.M meant. Which was Program, Aperture, Speed and Manual.

Diagram of the functions of the camera we used:

with this i was experimenting with the lasso and the marquee tool.

Cutting out areas of my image of the clown and filling them with bold colors using the paint bucket tool and even replacing a certain area using the lasso tool as you can see above with the clowns faxce and the chest.

i used the clone tool to create these freaky images in Photoshop by combining two images together to make them even more freaky. i had an easy time going through my documents to find what i wanted

I think what makes an image freaky is something that has more body parts than normal e.g eyes and mouth

i could have made these images better if i had more time and maybe i could have got the links for each image i used in this but i had no time to do so.

But overall i found this easy.
