Photoshop Tutorials Pt 1

About The Project

It is the start of sophomore year. I am taking video and design. My first design project was doing a bunch of photoshop tutorials to get to know the program better before we actually start our own independent projects. So what we had to do was follow along with videos teaching us how to edit photos using certain tools. 

The Process

For the first tutorial we learned how to take out items we do not want in the backround or just do not want in the picture period. To take out items in the background I used the content fill aware tool. Then I also used that same tool to take out a logo on a surfboard. 

For the second tutorial I learned how to use the patch tool to take out a logo off of a shirt that I did not like in the picture. 

In the 3rd tutorial I learned how to use the clone stamp and healing brush to take off the tags a girl had on her jacket and use the healing brush and cloning stamp to make it still look normal.

The 4th tutorial was about using the clone stamp and the patch tool to remove distracting objects in the background that I did not want in the photo.

In the 5th tutorial which I thought was very useful was learning how to remove blemishes. You do that by using the healing brush and painting white over some the spots the healing tool could not fix.

In the last tutorial which was not cooperating with me so it does not look completely right. What I did learn was using a mask, Extending pictures, using filters, edge refine tool, quick select, using the brush tool to fix some spots with black and white paint, and making everything look put together as 1 photo. 

My Thoughts

I liked learning all the tools. Some things I did not like was having to use a video to learn, I would rather have an actual teacher tell me what to do. I did not like the videos also because the guy had a different version of photoshop so some of the tools did not work. Things I would change would be fixing the girl in black photo because some parts of the background do not look clean and the shoulders are cut off and that was one thing I could not get to work. I gained a lot of knowledge and more experience with photoshop and learned how to use many tools I did not know before. Overall I thought most of it was fun to learn until it got frustrating because photoshop did not cooperate with me.

House Project

The Project So for this project we used sketchup and we had to make a model of a house we found on houseplans.com. This let us learn sketchup more and how to use different techiques in sketchup. The Process First we had to find a house then we had to look at the measurements of the house. I first just made a big block then I shaped it to look like my house. Then once I just got the shape of my house I added a porch and stairs. Then I started adding windows, doors and stuff like that. Then finally I looked back at my house and just tried to compared them and I added extra details that I forgot to do. Then after that I made an animation of giving a tour of my house.  I used this texture for my porch I used this texture for my house. What I Learned I learned how to use sketchup and different tools and techniques within sketchup. Like the push and pull tool to make a shape different heights. Then I learned how to use the orbital tool to move the camera an...

Short Film

What I Learned I worked on the "Victoria" I learned that sometimes you need to problem solve last minute and I learned how to do that because 2 actors quit on us. We got replacements fast and made an effective schedule that works for everyone. I also learned how to organize everything better to make everything easier.  What I Would Do Differently I would have picked different actors who were reliable the first time so we did not have to spend a lot of time just worrying. I also would have changed the volume in some shots the car scene needed to be quieter and the coffee scene needed the audio of the dialogue to be louder. Also next time to make sure there is no jump cuts.

Music Video

About The Project For this project we had to choose a music video to recreate. My group decided to recreate "Young Dumb & Broke'" by Khalid. First we had to make a story board, film scape and beat sheet. Then we went out to film. Then we edited it.  What I Learned During this project I learned how much work it actually takes to make a music video. My job was being the director. As the director I blocked scenes and I also learned how to be a better leader and taking the lead in decision making. I learned how to use color correction a lot better. I also learned how to use some shortcuts so I can edit faster. I also learned how to use white balance in post production. I also learned how to slow down and speed up clips. I also learned I feel like how to a better leader when directing and  Reflection For this project what I would differently is pick a video that matches the weather we are having because the weather was a big problem. I would also try to get mo...
