Ideas for 3D project (Unit 6)

3D Research At the start of any project, its always a good idea to have a look around and try and find some ideas and techniques to use. because the project is on 3D. i began my search on pintrest and simply typed "3D". there were hundreds of photos, collages and physical pieces to chose from. i started with the most recognised style of 3D. anaglyphic photography. anaglyphic is basically the red and blue lines that appear on the edges of the objects being photographed. This is an example of an anaglyphic photograpgh. the photo shows a model in the right third of the image. the photo is being shot in an architectural area. from looking at many photos. alot of the anaglyphic shots are taken in areas with buildings or structures, this is because of the straight edges which makes the 3D effect stand out.  this is an analogue example for my 3D project. this is called lenticular printing. this technique is all about perspective. as you can see depending on wha

Anaglyphic effect in photoshop

After thinking about my options i came to the conclusion that i wanted to create an image with a 3D effect for my final piece.  Creating an anaglyphic photo is actually very simple, it only consists of 3 steps. Step 1)  The first step is to take the image you want to develop and drag it down to the tab which looks like a post it note. this will duplicate the layer so that you have a foreground and a background layer.  Step 2) Once you have your two layers you want to double click on the layer that is at the top. the photo on the left shows what it looks like. what you want to do is look for the three ticked boxes labelled "R" "G" and "B". you want to untick the "R" box. then press ok and you will return back to your photo ready for the final step. Step 3) before we do the final step you must make sure that you have clicked on the top layer before you adjust the layers as if the bottom later is selected you wont be

Sam Taylor Johnson

Born on the 4 th of March 1967, Sam Taylor Johnson is an English Photographer and filmmaker. Originally known as Sam Taylor Wood, she started to display her fine art photography in the 1990s. One of the series on her website that I found quite interesting was a group of photos under the title “lone rider”. The photos are taken of lone isolated cars and motorcycles from a side view and the images are all black and white with the shadows and vignetting increased. Looking at the photos I get the feeling of peacefulness and tranquillity as the car is in the centre of the frame, this reflects the simplicity of life. These vehicles are made to be on busy roads, driven at speed and constantly used, which is why it’s peaceful to see them at rest, to see them standing alone. To try and recreate this I will be locating lone cars which are situated in front of a brick wall or a simplistic . I will then try and get the best composition to try and get a similar outcome to Sam Taylo

Eadweard Muybridge Recreation

Muybridge Recreation In preparation for the photographs I adjusted the focal length to 100 mm and the shutter speed of 1/2500, the fast shutter speed enabled me to get a crisp image. However, because of the fast speed it let in less light making the image slightly more darker. So I new  thatwouldn’t be able to go up to 3000 th of a second. As the photo wouldn’t be visible. The camera I used shot at three frames per second which was fine as there wasn’t to much of a gap. What I like about the image is that it has similarities to Muybridge's showing the different stages of the body  as they run and also the black and white effect. By  adding  black and white to the photo gives the image a old look which looks cool to me it also brings out the black in the dogs fur and therefore makes it stand out from the bland background.

Narrative Sequence

This is my attempt at a narrative sequence. To create this sequence I used a scrabble board that showed my name as it moved around the board.  I did this as it resembles different situations throughout your life and any problems that you may face. This can be shown by having the letters move upwards and downwards and flip back to front.  This represents the highs and lows you may experience. To create this sequence I used a tripod as this ensured that the camera remained still. I also chose to tilt the camera downwards as this created a birds eye view, And due to this choice of composition. I had to use a wide focal length of 10mm in order to obtain the whole of the board. The frame speed for the narrative sequence is set to 0.1 so that there was a smooth transition between the frames. If the speed was set at the standard rate of 0.05 the sequence would become too fast and the viewer would be unable to read the words spelt. However, if the frame speed was any slower than 0.1, the

Strawberry Decay Gif

This is my Gif that shows an example of decay, which I created using a strawberry. For six days I captured a photo once in the morning and once in the evening, from the exact same position, so there wasn't a noticeable frame difference.  There are 12 photos in total. The reason why I chose a strawberry is because they are very quick to decay and therefore would be a good subject to capture for this experiment.  The frame speed is set to 0.05 which is standard for a Gif video. To experiment further I reversed all the frames so that the length of the Gif was extended and would show more colour differentiation between ripe and rotten.
