Jonathan Bjerg Moeller

Jonathan is a photographer that is starting a project called "Bangladesh".Its a huge multi-media project that is up to 5 chapters long.

Hes preety much just taking photos about bangladesh and how the weather is and trying to show people that bangladesh is becoming more dangerous to be living at.Like the weather is becoming more eratic and frequent.Also poverty is being involved and the population is increasing rapidly.

I think that what hes doin is a good thing because hes letting everyone know that bangladesh is having a downfall and is suffering greatly, but hes also in for it because there are great shots you can get because bangladesh IS a very beautiful place to visit.

Video Summary*

I chose a video where people were getting drinks at a police station, but they realized that it wasnt for fun it was to test things about your consumption of alchohol you take in.

So the police officers had given them all a few drinks then they told them to follow certain steps like trying to walk on a straight line and doing certain exercises, then they got them all to breathe into this thing to see their consumption and how it affected them.

I noticed that for this video it was well shot because they didnt put EVERYTHING that was happening, they put on the basic and important things that was happening in the video. But if they could have put more like when they first got there to when they were drunk and not bits like they had originally done, but either way they did a good job~

Video Sequency Summary

Basicly its just talking about the "basics" of sequencing. Like for example it means to take out parts that are not really needed in the video. Also talking about the positions you should be when your shooting like u cant be a certain way or it wont come out very well, also dont tke shots that are within the same area so to take a variety of shots for best results.

Also they mention that you shouldnt take a huge amount of editing because if you follow the steps they say then you have much to edit on the video. Also they said that thight shots make great transitions between two wide shots and two medium shots.

Photographer*

Dennis pedersen!



This is an photographer that I think deserves a mention :]





I think that his photography is EXCELLENT because he captures everything at the right moment, and everything goes together perfectly. Like the colour of the coconut are captured and showed very well, along with showing the detail in the coconut with the water. The background colour was I guess done well even though its just white.






This peice I think was done very well. He also has a very creative side to him. I can bet that no body would have put goldfish with watches. Again he captures all the detail well, and all the colours match.

I think that maybe he could have added less bubbles so that you can see more, but either way this peice turned out great~! :]

LCI Photo Essay//Slideshow

This was done in the park across the park.The main character in this would be the big fluffy white dog, and its preety much going on an adventure around the park.

Theres one photo where it looks like your going back in time or something, it was this tunnel under the ground that i was wondering what was in it, so I took a chance and took a pic. of it.I think it captures tha park very well with an uplifting happy theme.I actually had alot of fun on this assignment~ :]

Photoshop Effect

NMatrix EffectN

Step 1: Make a new 400px x 230px then press "D" on your keyboard, the background should be color white.(but for me I changed the size)

---

next go to texture-grain and make sure the settings for intensity and contrast 100% and vertical.

---

Now go to artistic-neon glow and make the glow size 5, then the glow brightness a 20, and make sure its green.

now your DONE! :)

Elements

Centre of Interest

1. The first image goes into centre of interest because it stands out amoung the background.(pink tree+blue background)
2. The CUTE goldfish is for centre of interest because it is somewhere you usually would not find a goldfish..well hopefully not where this goldfish is. o.o;
3. The last image is a girl that looks like she underwater. It goes with this topic because black background makes this white image stand out, and she looks very bright and fluid so she catches your eyes.
   

Timing

1. The first image of the bumblebee on the guys eye was timing because he was not blinking when the bee was right in the centre of his eye, and the bee is also very still as it is, and this image can also be centre of interest.




2. This second image is obviously timing because the man is falling off of a ladder, and they make it look like they are slowing down the image.




3. The last one is someone popping a bubble. This one is timing as well because they caught right on time popping the bubble.

Humour

1. The first one is the sign, and that picture is very funny because they are talking about how people are not "aiming" properly when going to the bathroom.

2. The second image is funny because her body looks deformed and you cant even see her head, she looks like a cripple. :/

3.The last image is of the "christ died for our Dunkin Donuts". Obviously you can tell that its funny because Christ ACTUALLY didn't die for Dunkin Donuts.

Album

MAlbumsM

My first album was "City Of Rock".I had alot of fun with this one because many things match with it and the blue theme makes it POP out very well.At first it was very blah~ but now it looks alot more fun than it did, at first it was a weird brown background...kind of a downer. But then i was able to do some colour adjustments so that it could match the TTC stop that had bubbles on it. After adding text to finish it off im preety much done, and again i made the text match with that background. I made it very light my adding outer glow.

---

My second album cover was "Savage Garden".This one was also preety fun to play around with, but I had a hard time with picking the album cover because I didnt want something to plain, and I had a few to choose between. But after looking at album covers for a while I found one that looked preety good~ And again i didnt some colour adjustments to look more green and bring the colour and light out more. The text blends in well with the background, and I think that the band name works will with everything I have portrayed here.

Either way I had some fun with both of these albums :D

Celebrity*

ÛJim Carrey??Û

For this image I have decided to take famous actor Jim Carrey and place him in a very WEIRD place. Im not sure exactly where this is but I think that by the look on his face, it matches whats happening. Confusion. First I had taken him then I had used the magnetic lasso tool and gone around him. then got the background image and dragged him to it. Then after alot of reajusting I got him properly there. Then I started to adjust colour and brightness of the image. Then the last little touch was blending him in so that he doesnt look like he was from the other image I had gotten him from. Then DONE~!

Obama*

OBAMA


During my first assignment, I needed to change obama to go from one place to another.My first attempt was from the image on the right. First I had used the magnetic lasso tool, hovered around obama, then click and draged him to the new image. Then after adjusting him to fit properly within the new image, i had changed the colour tone, then flattened the image.

---

For my second image which is on the left it was the same except I needed to change the background settings. All the beggining steps were explained above, then i duplicate my layer and add a mask over it. Then i make my other layer active and change the background colour by using the paint bucket. Then after some more colour adjusting, I clicked on the gradient tool to add a different background affect. Then finally added some text, then flattened the image.
