Photoshop Challenge: Nature Man

About The Challenge

My class was given a challenge to use a photo of a man and to use masks and blending modes to change for example his hair, clothes, background etc. One of the rules was that we had to keep his face seen. We were given different pictures to use or we could use ones that we found online but we are supposed to keep him nature oriented. Hence the title "Nature Man."

The Process

To be honest I had no I dealt what I wanted to do and I did not really have any inspiration at first. I just used the photos given and messed around with making masks and just seeing what I could come up with. Then I decided I was doing too much and that maybe I should try to keep it more simple. So I only changed the jacket with like ocean rocks then I wanted to make his hair cool but it never really worked out so I just skipped it. Then I changed everything to black and white besides my nature photos. Then I added a background but it looked weird if the guy was black and whitened I thought he looked better colored. Then I Put a mask of the sky on his hair to make it have like a tint of blue and a dusty kind of faded style. Then I used the paint brush to blend in and do touch ups and it started to make this white glow outline and I thought that looked cool, like the bottle. Then I used the clone stamp to fix some spots.

What I Learned

I learned how to make and use filters like black and whit plus color adjustment. I also learned how to use the paint brush tool to fix the color to make it more or less faded. I also learned to use clipping masks a lot of them. Lastly I used the clone stamp tool for touch ups. I also used the quick selection tool to make masks.

Reflection

Things I would do differently is expand my skills more and have more of an idea and inspiration. So I can make it better. I would use clipping masks the same because it was a good and easy method to use. I learned how to use photoshop more and I feel like I mastered using masks and he quick selection tool in this experience.

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...
