TECHNOLOGIES USED IN PHOTOSHOP

For our documentary we decided to use a Cannon HD

camera to get the best quality possible. This camera was

good to use due to the settings we could do for example we

wanted to get a blurred background effect so we set

the focus so the camera would take a picture of a blurred

background.

CAMERA USED

This was the first time I was going to use a Cannon SLR

camera. The first picture I took was terrible so therefore I

decided to hand it to Gee who took the picture of Gallowtree

gate. After developing my skills on the day I took the picture of the police officer. This turned

out well and therefore I think I use the camera well. I have

attached one of the pictures we took with the camera that didn’t

go too well.

HOW WELL I USED THE CAMERA

To create the poster I decided to use Photoshop due to my skill level and the amount of tools available on Photoshop to

make a professional poster.

SOFTWARE

TOOLS USED IN PHOTOSHOP

Rectangular marquee tool

Magnetic lasso tool Quick Selection tool

Crop tool

Clone tool

Rubber tool

Text Tool

Color select

I think my final product was produced by using the

basic tools like the magnetic lasso tool. I think

the use of the magnetic lasso and quick selection

tool could have been better. The text seen on

the poster was all done by the text tool where I had to select the size, colour

and font type. I have attached an image of what an image looked like when I selected it to

edit it.

IMAGE ADJUSTMENTS

I think I really showed my skills in adjusting images on this poster. We took the pictures at about 10:00pm and therefore I needed to work on making the images brighter. The

main image I had to adjust was the police officer and me and Gee had to take many images till we finally got the lighting correct due to his

florescent jacket. On the side I have attached what the police officer

looked like when he wasn’t adjusted.

FILTERS

Honestly, I didn’t use any filters on my poster as I felt there was no need to due to the camera we had. I would have used a blurred filter if we used a digital camera

however because we used a SLR camera, we set it so

the focus would be perfect for purpose. Here is what a sketched filter would look

like on our poster.
