High and Low-key lighting

 This is used to create different moods in the photograph, using the light to create a over all darker composition and adds a sad kind of mood as darkness is associated with a feeling of being nervous or unsettled.  It can also hide details of the subject creating a mysterious shadow on the subject. This can be used to do horror as it can make the image have a spooky or creepy feel to it depending on the subject you use. This could also symbolise the sort of unseen part of a person as one side could be brightly lit where as the other side can be hidden in shadow so this could be the part of a person they don’t want people to see or maybe a secret. 

On the other hand High key lighting can be used to create a positive emotion due to the white background this can highlight certain parts of the subject due to the high contrast between the background and the subject. It could also be seen as a purer image due to white being a symbol of purity.  The background being white can make parts of the subject stand out for example a certain colour or shape. The white background can reflect the light meaning the subject in complete light. This means that people will focus on the subject more as there is very little or nothing going on in the background.

Shard Gif

I created this gif by using Photoshop, After Effects and Premier Pro. I Started by using Photoshop to take sections of the image for example the plane and the shard from the sky background. Then saved the photoshop file with the layers unflattened then i imported the photoshop file into After Effects the I drag the sky into the timeline then clicked the drop down arrow then click transform then the stop watch this will put a keyframe in then move the time line along to ten seconds then move the sky image a small bit which will make the animation move the image over the ten seconds. Then dragged the plane in and did the same thing but from the top left to the bottom right using the same technique. After that i dragged the shard in and moved it a small amount. I then exported that then imported it into premier pro and got some traffic sounds and put them over the gif and then rendered that and exported it which created the final GIF.

We took images along the road and using the head of the sculptor on the balcony of hawthorne as reference point. Then moving the tripod slightly so that it creates a smooth movement as the image pans around the sculpture. We then had to load the images into photoshop by clicking file open then selecting the first image in the sequence then clicking image sequence this will open it up with a small window that you can set the frames per second. I set it to 24 and then clicked ok this will create a gif you can then export it. this gif can be seen above
