Animated Gif

Definition

An animated GIF is a GIF file that includes multiple images or "frames." These frames are played back in sequence when the file is opened or displayed in a web browser. ... The GIF file format includes a Graphics Control Extension (or "GCE block"), which enables a single GIF file to store multiple frames

Description:

To create an animated gif, a compulsory piece of equipment you will need is a tripod. The tripod will keep the photos consistent and allow for a smoother animation, this is because if the camera was to keep moving between shots it would also move during the animation. When taking the images for the animation a high shutter speed (1/2000 or 1/4000) needs to be used in order to capture clear and sharp points of your animation. A blurry image could stand out during an animation. 

Techniques e.g. “wide angle close up technique” (create labels: techniques, Sequencing technique).

•      Definition of the technique

•      An image which illustrates the technique

•      description of the technique… (what your tutor has taught you: camera settings, lighting setup, equipment used and theory)

•      Techniques work diary

o   post listing exactly how the images were produced.

o   Analysing the visual outcome (how do the photographs look?)

o   Is it an expected outcome or otherwise, why does the photograph look this way?

o   How  might I improve my image?

o   Progression: in the progression section identify whether you would wish to pursue this technique within your personal investigation.

o   Techniques Image bank (target 5 images linked to the technique)

o   Techniques Techniques straight images (target 5 images linked to the technique).

Create at least 1 sequence (comprising a minimum of 4 images within the final (edited) composition  

In your techniques evaluation, you will need to record:

·         Equipment used

·         Camera Settings

·         You will also need to evaluate how the camera settings affected the photograph.

Sequencing Technique

Sequencing Technique

Sequencing



Definition:

By definition, a sequence is a serial arrangement in which things follow in logical order or a recurrent pattern. Photo sequencing is actually stitching multiple images together and it is a form of time-lapse photography. A change in an object’s position over time is being displayed and it only works when the object moves across a static background.



Images:

Description:

When shooting a sequence image, a tripod must be used in order to keep the images consistent so that the final image and editing is successful. To capture sharp images it is important to use a fast shutter speed, an ideal shutter speed would be between 1/2000 or 1/4000. This will allow you to capture key points of the model or object when it's moving without it coming out blurry.

Illustrated Project Proposal

Illustrated Project Proposal



Illustrated Project Proposal will comprise. 4 sections.

Monday, 20 July 2015

Aim:  My personal investigative study will be on nature and the different elements. For example I can work around the four elements of nature which is earth, fire, water and air. I can also focus on more direcet elements of nature, for example flowers or wildlife.

Background
I want to do this project because one of my favourite types of photography is landscape photography. I enjoy spotting points of interest which could create a great photo, for example a lake or stream flowing down a mountain or hill creates a line of focus in the image.

 

Discuss in two paragraphs why you want to do this project.

Here you can discuss the type of photography you are most interested in and the type of photographers who might influence you…    There needs to be an expansion on the above aim i.e. why you wish to find more out about “British Culture” what you hope to achieve, what aspects of British culture do you intend you intend to focus on.

 

 

Photographer’s research:

 

List three to four photographers/artists that you think will influence your approach.   Explain:

• why they are relevant to the investigation 
• how their approach (technique, subject matter and location, etc.)  might influence your photographic approach
   

Illustrations

 

For each photographer,  Analyse  AT LEAST ONE, (MAXIMUM TWO) of their images discussing why they were chosen.   Use critical language to analyse the image in terms of connotations, denotations and technique used to create the images.

 

Techniques

 

Discuss the materials, techniques and processes that you intend to explore within the project.

 

e.g. Motion blur, animated gif,, black and white, colour saturation and shallow depth of field, I will also explore computer experiments and physical images.
