Demon photo sequence

In todays class we came in and sat down in preperation to do the editing work with our previous photographs, Due to a technology issue we couldnt do quiet what we wanted (And it was too late to notice i forgot to edit two of the photographs correctly!)
I opened up photoshop on my Macbook and began to work, We had about 60 photographs and only needed 8-10, So i sat and went through picking the best and sorting them into a seperate folder, After i had found them i labled them all one to nine depending on when they would apear in the shot.
I loaded all of the images up into photoshop and made them all monochromatic and darkened the edges to turn what was a bright sunny day, into more of a strange dark/light mix which worked well to add a nightmarish environment.
To make our monster seem that little bit creepier, I tinted Matt's (Person playing the monster) eyes red, Blooded his teeth and hands and made him in colour (although the levels had been changed to make it look like he had a red glow around him, with pale white skin)
Due to the lack of internet i had to scower for stuff already saved on the computer, i thankfully came across another students colage of things from music groups to hair styles, one of the groups art had what looked like a cut open arm, i snipped this out and slotted it into a frame on my image in which the victim had his throat slit open, I kept the blood red to make it stand out more against the rest of the image.

Horror/Thriller prep

In todays class we had to go out and take photographs in preporation for our horror/thriller story board, For this we where given a stills camera (But in our case, we brought in our own) and asked to take photos matching the theme, Before we got sent out we had to draw out our story board and plan everything ahead of time, Although we would not go exactly to plan it is always good to have an outline of whate you want to do.
Whilst we were taking the photographs we did have some moments when we had to convert our shots to make use of the space we had to work with, Replacing the high angle with a long shot for example, Capturing both of our actors at different distances, but still keeping them in focus.
After the hour or so of photography we returned to the class to import our work and sort everything out before the next day in which we were going to edit!

Rosie Ball Visit

Today we had a surprise visit from the greatly interesting Rosie Ball. A student at Long Road in 2006 and now a graduate of the Norwich University College of the Arts who came in to talk about her recent Computer Art and Design degree and BAFTA nominated iPad game.
Rosie came in to talk to us about how she works as a games artist and the many stages she has to work through to get to a finished product, and talk about concepts and final design ideas.
 
The game above was created by a team of five people (including Rosie) where each member of the team worked on stuff that reflected there skills, From 3D characters to the sound track, The visit was extremely interesting and very fun, I personally enjoyed just listening to everything that was sad through the day
