Week 06 - Project 2A: Photo Manipulation & Colourise (Black and White)


LECTURE

Since we have completed our previous project, this week onwards has become more technical with Digital Photography. Content ranges from parts of the camera to the functions of the camera such as the ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture settings. In addition, we were also made aware of the pros and cons of using either a DSLR or a Smartphone.

TUTORIAL

During our tutorial session, we were briefed on Project 2: Digital Imaging Exercises & Product Shooting. It comprises sub-projects such as Photo Manipulation, Recolouring of a Black and White, Double Exposure and also Conceptual Product Shoot.

Besides that, Sir Fauzi heavily briefed us on Project 2C: Conceptual Product Photoshoot, where we are required to combine multiple images or elements to create a new image, sort of like the first ever project we did which was the Collage Design. However, the main difference that you could see from this Project 2C is that we are required to do Motion Images by using Adobe After Effects to animate them into an IG-Reels or Youtube Shorts format.


PRACTICAL

Exercise 1: Photo Manipulation

Part 1: Hearst Mansion

We were given this task on Week 6 of the semester and expected to manipulate this photo of a room and a character named Shazam and to digitally collage them together as if it's seen as a single captured photograph. A tutorial video is provided by the lecturer to serve as guidance for this part of the project.

Part 2: My "Reflection"

The second task of this part is to capture our whole body self-portrait from eye level and manipulate our image into the Hearst Mansion, following the same steps as I did in Part 1 of this project.
