Media - 18th and 19th Of November

n both media lessons, we were set a task by our media teacher to take the original photograph's previously taken in the local 'Myatts Field Park' and edit them using a semi-professional software 'Picnik'. But, the trick was that we had to create a minimum of 3 pictures each for winter and autumn edits. We had to use mainly blue, white and grey tone of colours for Winter and orange, green, grey, brown-ish colours for Autumn.

Before editing the original photo's into professional-looking edits, I wanted to understand the meaning and aspects of Winter and Autumn first. Enable to do something, you must be able to understand it and know what your looking for!

I related Winter and Autumn  to: weather, activity, daylight, mood to the picture

 e.g for Winter Edit's I thought of:

Icicles, Snow, Rain, Cold, Sickness, Darkness at early times of the day, Lazy moods, Christmas and ect.

I took the images into my head and start to edit the first 3, I then altered the edited images and I made sure that all my first 3 edit's had a story and a message to it.

e.g for the Autumn Edit's I thought of:

Windy Days, Coughing, Sneezing, Happy Moments, Leaves falling, Beigey  sky colour, Cold, Leather jackets , Logs, Soggy Weather. I also took these images into my head and started to edit my second 3 lots of images, I then also altered the edited images and made sure it had a story and message to it.

I used effects such as: Colour Alters, Tint, Symbols, Font Text, Boarders, Frames, Colour Shades, Blur, Softener.

With my Winter Images, I had gave it a look so that you can picture a Cold and Freezing atmosphere, I brightened out the main attractions of the picture and left all the blackground blurred but softened out the edges, this effect came out really good. I used mainly blue and white colour's for this edit and made the font of the message very bold. I used messages such as, "Seasons Greeting, Eatings Treatings", "Merry Seasons", "Good Holidays", "Happy New Year" and etc.

Here are some examples:

With my Autumn Images, I decided to go different and give it a happy, rather excitable look rather than an depressing one, because although Autumn has lots of rain and horrible foggy days and thrushy wind. It had also have a calm breeze and a calm chill, and I decided to give the Images a happy message for my 3 edits. I used oranges, greens, browns, yellows, beige and some pinks. I brightened out the yellow-y, pink-ish sky and  dimmened the colour of the orange, brown leaves on the tree. I gave the ground a sharp, calm grey effect and the background I did made it very clear and basic.

Overall, I believe I done a good job!
