Terrorism Photo Essay

Photo Essay - Step 1 - Looking at Essays

In this assignment you will create your own photo essay. To help prepare you for this you should review some other photo essays and prepare a report for the class.

Select a photo essay from the Time.com web site.

Select one essay and be prepared to review it for our class. You will show us the essay and speak to these points:

1. Did the photographer use staged photos, candid photos or both?
2. Color or B&W? Did it make a difference? What factors contributed to the selection of one over the other?
3. Find examples of good framing and composition and point them out. How close does the subject feel in the photo?
4. Find examples of good use of color and light. Do you see backlighting? Were the photos taken early or later in the day?
   
5. How is narration and text used to support the essay?
6. Do the photos in the essay stand alone or do they need to be seen as a part of the whole?
7. Describe your reaction to the essay. Do all photo essays illicit a reaction in the viewer?

This will be a public presentation for the rest of the class. You will recieve two grades for this lesson, one for presenting and one for participating (being an active listener.)

Answers: 1. In some photographs the photographer used staged photos and in others they didn't. Because my topic is terrorism, most are not staged because things are happening very fast and it is hard to get a perfect picture.

2. All of the pictures i chose are in colour. Some factors that contributed to the selection of one over the other are content, relavence to topic, and attraction.

3. The 6th one down, about 9/11, has a good composition because the sunject is in the frame almost perfect and the distance is very good because it enables the viewer to get a real idea of how serious the topic is.

4. The picture 12 down has good use of colour because the colour in the background compliments Osama's skin colour and his outfit. There is not much backlighting because most of these photos are not staged. All of the photos were taken during the day.

5. Narraration and text is used to support this essay by explaining what is going on in the pictures and showing the seriousness of the topic.

6. The photos in the essay need to be seen together because alone they are only one attack or victim. But together they are a message that shows the impact of terrorism.

7. My reaction to the essay is that a picture speaks a thousand words and each of these pictures say at least that; enough said. The pictures do make the viewer react because they have such a deep meaning.

Acid attacks and wife burnings are common in parts of Asia because the victims are the most voiceless in these societies. Naeema Azar, above, was attacked by her husband after they divorced. Her 12-year-old son, Ahmed Shah, looks after her.

Photography

Exposure
-ISO is dealing with the sensitivity of the film
-Aperture is control of how much light hits the camera (how much the lens is open)
-Shutter speed is how fast you open and close the lens
-CCD (Charged Couple Device) is the processor
-Shudder speed goes by the seconds (so for blurred motion lower shuuder speed)(for clear/crisp picture use higher shudder speed

Journal Week 4

Monday
Today I changed the colour of an eye using photoshop. Later Mr D. talked to us more about the test and about animation. Then we got a bit of free time to work with motion 2 and see how it works.

Tuesday
Today we took a note on photography and then we took a test on it. I aced it, but me and a few other people worked together to get them all right. Then I started a new project on photoshop to make me look like an avatar.

Wednesday
Today things got off to a long start because people weren't listening. Then we were introduced to a photoessay and Mr D. showed us some examples. I got 7 out of the 20 pictures needed and i should hopefully finish tomorrow.

Thursday
Today, Mr D. reexplained the photoessay assignment to the people that didnt't understand it. I finished my whole photoessay but it took me the rest of the day. I barely have anytime to write this.

Friday
Mr D. introduced a new project that will take 2-3 weeks. It is a poster advertising SHSM around the school and we need to make it from scratch. Logo, pictures, slogan, etc. I have an idea for a log so far but that's it.

Change the Colour of an Eye

................MY EYE.............................ORIGINAL...............
I took a picture from google and put into photoshop. Then I made a new layer and coloured over only the colour part of the eye. Then i blurred the colour and changed the layers to overlay. VOILA, it was easy and looks sick!

3D Animation Quiz

1. The process of building an object on the computer within 3D space is most often called what? Your Answer: Modeling Believe it or not, the process is most often called "modeling." Basically it involves taking four point polygons within the software and combining them and moving points to shape the intended object. It is a fun, but time consuming process, as the only shapes within the program to use aside from polygons are basic objects such as circles, cylinders and cubes called primitives. I don't know where the name came from, but it is funny to think that I tell people I model professionally from time to time. 65% of players have answered correctly.

2. Once the character or object is built in the program, what is the process called of adding color, reflection, transparency, translucency and roughness? Your Answer: Texturing Texturing is an art all of its own. It takes a great amount of time to tweak a texture. The basic texture usually includes a channel for luminosity, diffusion, color, specularity, glossiness, reflection, transparency, translucency, refraction, bump and smoothing. In a nutshell, luminosity and diffusion control how much light is absorbed by a texture. Color defines the basic color of the texture. Specularity, glossiness and reflection comprise the three aspects of reflection. Specularity controls how the light is spilled over the surface of the object. Glossiness controls how glossy a texture looks. And reflection defines how much actual reflection you will see in an object. Transparency defines how much you can see through the object. Translucency controls how the light is absorbed through an object. Refraction is how the light bends through a transparent object (think of looking through the bottom of a glass, how everything distorts.). The bump channel defines how course a texture is and smoothing refers to how smooth the texture is. 71% of players have answered correctly.

3. Basic shapes, such as cubes, cylinders and circles that are used to build an object are called what? Your Answer: Primitives Most modeling uses polygons added together and molded, but you will often need a standard shape to add to an object. These standard shapes are called primitives. Every piece of software has a similar set of primitives, but includes others. A sample standard set from Lightwave 3D, my software of choice, includes a box, a ball, a disc, a cone, and a capsule. There is a drop down list of an additional fifteen or so primitives. 69% of players have answered correctly.

4. To create real world reflections in most software packages, the "reflection" is actually made up of three parts. Can you guess which of the following is not part of the reflection channel? Your Answer: Transparency The transparency channel controls how see through an object's texture is. Specularity controls how the light is spilled over the surface of the object. Glossiness controls how glossy a texture looks. And reflection defines how much actual reflection you will see in an object - think of a mirror as a 100% reflection value and go down from there for your reflection. A new car may have a reflection of 60%, while a piece of hard wood flooring may have a 2% reflection. 29% of players have answered correctly.

5. Unlike traditional animation, in the world of 3D, the computer interpolates the movement between poses rather than having an artist manually animate each and every frame. What are these key poses called? Your Answer: Key Frames Depending on the animation requirement's of the object and the desired result of the artist, there can any number of key frames. In my own experience, I've had roughly two key frames per second per limb of a character walking and I've also done facial animations that required a new key frame every two to three frames to match the phonetic syllables of human speech. The beautiful thing of 3D in the computer is the interpolation between the frames. Rather than animating every frame like in 2D work, I can set a pose at frame one, and set another at frame 14 and the computer calculates the motion between the two key frames...thus saving me from manually animating the twelve in between frames. 62% of players have answered correctly.

6. Light in the real world continually bounces off of objects to illuminate an area. In the 3D software, this real world light simulation is extremely render intensive on the computer, but produces beautiful results. Can you guess what most software dubs this simulation? Your Answer: Radiosity Radiosity is the calculated bouncing of light within a space to light a scene in the computer. The results are beautiful, giving a truer sense of realism to the artificially created objects. The only drawback is the render time is usually multiplied by ten or so. Pixar, in my opinion, is the king of using radiosity. When I first watched "Ratatouille" I was blown away by the lighting, it was so dramatic and realistic. Pixar later released a technical paper citing how they lit the scenes and how radiosity played such a large part to create the tone of the film. 57% of players have answered correctly.

7. When building an object in 3D space, it is a wise idea to build it to the scale of its real world counterpart. Your Answer: True This is important for two reasons. Number one is the relative scale between two objects. If you animate a camera move by two objects of different size and they are not built to scale, or at least to the scale of each other, you will lose the sense of spacial orientation and thus lose the realism of the shot. Number two is the integration of computer generated objects into a live action scene. I watched "Pearl Harbor" recently and I will use it as my example. If the Japanese Cg airplanes were not built to scale in the computer, they would look like they were flying faster than they should be in real life. Most of the audience would think that something was "off" in the scene, but they weren't quite sure what it was. If the audience questions what they are looking at, they leave the world created in the film and thus lose some of the emotional impact the film is going for. 57% of players have answered correctly.

8. Everything in a 3D scene has to be either manually animated or calculated by the computer, as nothing is preset in the software. What is the calculation called to recreate real world effects such as gravity, wind, liquids and collisions? Your Answer: Dynamics Dynamics are used to create wind, liquids, smoke, gravity and collisions- most anything that would be too tedious to manually animate. A practical example of dynamics would be as follows. Modeling a shattered wall, as if an explosion went off. Then adding a collision object and animating it through the pre-cut wall. You would then apply a hard dynamic to the wall to react to the collision. Gravity would be applied to the scene, which if you remember the numerical value of gravity from Physics class: -9.8 m/s^2. Then you add a ground dynamic plane to keep the wall and all of its shattered parts from falling into oblivion as per the effects of gravity. Once you apply all of these dynamics and tweak a few parameters under each tab, you calculate the interaction and view the results. 46% of players have answered correctly.

9. A collection of computers linked together to render different frames of a single animation are referred to as what? Your Answer: Render Farm A render farm is a series of computers linked together via a network, each capable of rendering a single frame of the animation. Once each computer finishes a frame, it grabs the next available frame to be rendered and begins until all of the frames have been rendered. Most 3D animation packages have built in software that controls the other computers. The process is usually called "network rendering" within the software. 48% of players have answered correctly.

10. Every studio has their choice of 3D software to use. None is really better than the other, it really boils down to the artist and the studio's preference. My software of choice is Lightwave 3D. Can you guess which 2006 film about the battle of Thermopylae used Lightwave 3D as the primary choice for the visual effects software? Your Answer: 300 Screaming Death Monkey and Pixel Magic, two of the effects companies used for the visual effects in "300" used Lightwave 3D for the effects. They did a production profile with Newtek, the makers of Lightwave 3D, about how Lightwave was used in the production pipeline of "300."

The Production Process

Windows Logo

This was done on coreldraw 11 by using curves, blend tool, etc. This was done by following a tutorial which went by really fast. the only thing that went wrong is that the glow on the logo doesn't really work.

Chads Porfolio 1

Using Live Type, i made a small portfolio of some things that we made. I used the tech template and added the crazy ball, car shine, and spider dog videos.

Journal Week 3

Monday
Today Mr D. told us to go onto Live Type and make a small portfolio of some things that we made. I used the tech template and added the crazy ball, car shine, and spider dog videos. This program is easy to use and the templates are sick. I hope we get to learn how to make things like that.

Tuesday
We got time to finish our lifetype project but since i was already done i just helped people. Near the end of class, we were told to start a coreldraw project which i am almost done.

Wednesday
Today we got two new assignments. 1 for coreldraw and 1 for illustrator. I finished my coreldraw and it is a windows logo. tomorrow i will start my illustrator and hopefully finish.

Thursday
We went over all of our notes and posted the ones we didn't have. I started my illustrator project and finished all of the petals. tomorrow i should finish.

Friday
I finished my finished my illustrator flower. Then i showed mr.d my completed up-to-date blog. Also, i started my eye in photoshop.

Spider Dog

This is a slide show/movie about spider dog. The song i made is more of sound effects though. BUT, the timing was off by a lot because the GB time-line goes like this "...1||||5||||10...." and i thought that that numbers were seconds and not the lines. At the last 5 minutes of class i tried to fix it but it didn't work. Anyways i think its still okay.

The Socio Economic Context of Communications Technology
What is Communication?
 Communication is the sending and receiving of information or messages
 In order for communication to occur a message must be both sent and received
 Important: if the receiver does not understand the message then it has not been received!
Purposes of Communication
Inform – to notify or report
Educate – to teach or instruct
Persuade – to convince or influence
Entertain – to amuse or divert
Control – to manage or be in command of
Types of Communication
 Human to Human
 Human to Machine
 Machine to Machine
 Machine to Human
 Supplementary types
Types of Human Communication
 Verbal Communication
 Nonverbal Communication
Perception
 Perception is the process of understanding a message
 You may receive a verbal or nonverbal message from someone, but that message has to make
sense in order for it to be received
 The process of perception can change how you understand a message
 depends on the receivers personal experiences in the past
History of Communication
 pictograms (an easily recognized symbol) e.g. Walk Sign
 Ideograms are symbols that must be learned, e.g. Stop Sign
History of Communication
 A true alphabet was formed when symbols began to represent sounds
 As the alphabet and various languages were developed the printing process and artistic
communication arose
 After electricity and computers were discovered data communication was developed
 Data communication is communication between computers
Technology and Communication
 Technology is… The practical (hands on) application of scientific knowledge.
 Without technology science would just simply remain knowledge!

The Universal Systems Model
 A system has a purpose or goal, this can be called the desired OUTPUT of the system
 The INPUTs are the resources necessary for achieving the OUTPUT
 The PROCESS is the action part of the system, in this step the inputs are changed (or processed)
achieve the OUTPUT
Control Systems
 In many systems, a FEEDBACK loop is added
 FEEDBACK is a way of determining whether the actual results, or output, is the same as the
desired results

We learned how to make a car have a shine on it by using glint. It is a cool activity a but finding good spots for the shine to show is hard. I think that the pen tool is easy to use and is crazy for good curves

Tuesday
We went over a note about communication and instead of typing it out we just copied and pasted it from a teacher. Also, at the end i worked on my shining car and I'm almost done. It is going to be sick!

Wednesday
Today the teacher was nice enough to give us pancakes!! They were delicious. Anyways, i finished my shining car today and posted it on blogger. It looks awesome and it wasn't hard. Also, the teacher told us to make a slide show movie thing which i didn't get started on today.

Thursday
We took a note on graphic design elements. After I started my story on imovie. Its a parody of spider man; spider dog! I found about 13 pictures to make the story. I have all of the pictures in their time slot i just need to add the transitions tomorrow.

Friday
Today was crunch time. I finished my imovie by adding in the transitions and after that i made the song on garage band. My song has to have perfect timing because the song is sort of sound effects to the imovie. BUT, the timing was off by a lot because the GB time-line goes like this "...1||||5||||10...." and i thought that that numbers were seconds and not the lines. At the last 5 minutes of class i tried to fix it but it didn't work. HOPEFULLY Mr. D. will give us like 5 more minutes to finish it!

Glint Effect

The letters "SJC" are shined by a rainbow using the glint effect. We used tutorial which made this an easy job to do. The only problem was when i double clicked on something, everything else went away, but in the end i figured it out.

Crazy Ball Project

Today we learned how to create a basic keyframe and how to use motion tween. The teacher told us to make a ball bounce around the screen. I made a blue ball bounce around but near the end of the video it glitches and leaves skid marks.

We learned how to make the glint on the text "SJC". When i double clicked an object it messed me up because it took everything away, but now i know what to do. I think the glint is sick.
