Rachel Deodato - Movie Poster

My Poster 

For my movie poster I imitated the infamous movie poster from the movie Mama Mia. In the original movie poster the background was an ocean that was blurred to make it appear as if the ocean was sparkling. In my movie poster, I used an image of light blue glitter to imitate the ocean in the original movie poster. In the original movie poster it had main actress, Amanda Seyfried, in her wedding dress from the wedding scene in the movie. Instead of using the image of actress Seyfried, I replaced her with an image of myself from prom. For my title and the rest of the text, I tried to copy the same font, however could not find the exact one. This project was very challenging in that it was hard to imitate the exact tools that was used to create the original movie poster. This was my first time creating my own movie poster from scratch using photoshop. While creating my movie poster, I learned that it takes a lot of creativity and effort to create a poster from scratch. 

Tools & Techniques 

I used a variety of tools that was taught in class by Professor Heagney while creating my movie poster. A majority of tools that I used in photoshop include layer masking, quick selection tool, the gradient tool and the healing brush. I first used the gradient tool in order to make the image have an ombre effect from top to bottom in order to see the title clearly. I masked the back round image and the image of myself at prom, and then used the quick selection tool to get rid of the background in my prom image. After watching the video "Removing blemishes with spot healing tool", I learned how to get rid of leftover scraps that were left behind from the original prom image. Regarding the text on the movie poster, I used font from www.dafont.com to imitate the font from the original poster to the best of my ability.

Still Image Video

Image
Shark vs. Bear The purpose of premiere is to create visuals for certain clips of audio, such as a still image video. I have recently learned about how important visuals and audio can be to a project. Visualization has the power of communicating with the viewer about the topic, which is especially important to those who may speak another language or have impaired hearing. In my final still image project, I tried to visually express what is being said in the audio with the use of animated quotes and images.

Forum 6: Swatchy Schemey

The Image  For this assighment I gained inspiration from my favorite place, my bed! The decorative pillows that are placed on my bed consist of all my favorite colors, which made this project visually pleasing for myself. I based each color I used on one of my pillows. However, I didn't get to use all the pillows since we could only choose three main colors or swatches.  Swatches When I was creating the swatches it was more difficult than I expected. Choosing the first round of colors, as seen in the first column to the left going down, took some time because I had to experiment with different hues in order to find the color that best matched the pillow I was using as my inspiration. However, the difficult part was creating faded colors, as seen in the next two columns, that weren't to drastic of a change from the first color. In order to create this faded effect I had to lower the tint percentages in each box more and more as I made my way to the right. Namepla...

Forum 5: Visual Communication

Overview In this newest rough draft of my audio story I made a lot more improvements. I improved my blog by adding animated text. These animations consisted of titles, quotes, and important points that I wanted to emphasize to the viewers. I was also able to replace pointless images with title frames throughout the audio story to improve the quality. As I continue to work on my audio story I plan to add more animations to the images and the transitions between the images to create a more appealing video.  What I Learned While working on my audio story, I had no idea how to add text and animate text when working in Adobe Premier. After watching the youtube video "How to Animate a Title", I quickly learned how and became a pro at creating titles and animating them. Although I mainly focused on my titles moving from left to right or up and down, in the future I plan to use the opacity tool in order to make the titles fade in and out of the frame.
