Sequencing Video: Foundation of Storytelling

Sequencing videos compress time time into videos allowing video editors to create a better way to pace a story by using a variety of wide, medium and also tight shots. Once you understand the fundamentals of sequencing, you will be able to tell an effective and well-known story.

Minimizing time in videos is key because you have todecrease the time from minutes of shots in a video into minimal time in seconds that helps people understand whats going on. You must anticipate the action by thinking how this will turn out or what will happen from point a to b. First you shoot the action then the reaction but you have to minimize the shooting speed taken and you also have to keep the picture within the frame at all times.While sequencing a video, weight your shots to the tight end of the shooting spectrum. Tight shots provide great transitons between two wide and medium shots.

Light and Shadow Photography

Light and Shadow:
A technique in photography which uses the light to present an image around the thing being photographed to express the image in a more realistic view to let the photographer see and capture what the image is telling us. Light creates shadows and shadows also enhance the appearance of the picture or subject. Without the use of shadows, the object may appear dull and boring. Positions and strengths of the lights and shadows can also set the mood of the subject.





The first picture to describe (top) provides light and shadow by the letting in the light from the direction it follows; it tends to reveal the shadows based on the objects from surrounding locations such as the canyons and the pile of rocks. The second picture to describe (bottom) is about light and shadow by seeing this photo; you can tend to look at the light coming from the sun applying some shadows to the mountains and plants and also the clouds provide the elements of light and shadow because once the sun is projecting everywhere upon this photo, it also creates shadows behind the sun allowing to portray a great quality picture to express what is going on.

Photoshop Techniques Assignment

The photoshop technique that i've done for this assignment is Easy Blur because it was easy to do and it was nice to understand and its also a nice thing to discover and try on any photo of your choice to create Easy Blur. To express this photoshop technique, i chose a photo of my choice then i gone to Gaussian Blur and selected the opticy on the photo toexpress some blurr in the photo once it was done but not to much to over do it. Once it was complete, i was amazed on how this technique provided my picture into a expressive, but blurry picture.

Celeberty Assignment

For this assignment, i had managed to create a picture of Justin Bieber into a location that does make sense or in this case it make the celeberty in a place that it should be in for any reason. This assignment was easy to understand and as i was doing this assignment, i got the hang of it by making pictures of celeberties into picturesthat dont make sense but it actualy worked.

once i completed this assignment, it looked so amazing that it actually potray what the true meaning of two things that wouldnt be in the same place could work work on photo that i might do.

I first selected the person i wanted which is Justin Bieber with the Lasso tool then i deleted the beackground from the celeberty and placed Justin onto my scene of the desert to make people think that Justin Bieber is drowning in sand and there is no one around him that can rescue him.

Justin Bieber and the Canyons provide an ingrongruous scene because it allows me to think that since he is so great and all, i allowed this picture of Justin to be in the canyons all by himself were no one can find him because Justin always gets the attention to much, but this shows that he's all alone were no one can see him neither provide attention for him. The picture of Justin is in shadow because i want to allow light and shadow into this scene by making it look like the sun is hitting behind him the whole time.

Obama Assignment

For the obama assignment these two pictures have been used in photoshop to potray images in different forms to reveal what i have done to make final result. The most difficult part of this assignment is probably the 2nd obama picture(bottom) because once ive done the assignment it was crazy and i didnt understand much of what to do while i was doing it. The easiest part of the assignment is the 1st obama picture (top) because once i was doing this picture, i was able to understand and i was able to make the picture so beautiful and it allowed me to understand how to make pictures in photoshop.

For the first Obama picture (top), i selected the picture of Obama from the background and dragged it onto the picture of the wall of china then i shaped the size of Obama to make the picture look like he's actually there already. The second Obama picture(bottom), i used the lasso tool to select the picture of obama from the background then i selected the background and changed the colour then finally, i incorperated both layers together and added text to it.
