Exisiting Adverts

This advert is for the 2011 Etnies commercial, which is filmed by Nick Garcia and Andrew Brophy. Sean Malto the main skateboarders in the advert. This is a picture of the advert, where the small logo on the right hand side, which says what company it is. There is also a picture of Malto doing a trick off the ledge, which suggests to people that if you wear the new Etnies, then you'll be able to do these trick. The writing on the left hand side is also effective because it attracts people to look at the advert because it says the skaters name, and Sean Malto is a well known skateboarder so people will most likely look at the advert.

This is also the same advert, but a different picture of it, and it is still good because it has the company logo but its not as effective as the first advert picturebecause it doesnt say the skateboarders name.

Exisiting Government Eating Campaign

5 A Day Campaign

The 5-A-Day campaign was first developed in 2002, by the Department of Health was introduced to try and make the UK residents eat more than five portions a day. An average UK person eats around three portions a day, whereas the campaign are trying to get people to eat five a day. It is recommened that you eat around 2-3 fruit a day, a few dry raisins, one medium apple, orange or banana and a healthy drink such as a smoothie.

To help you keep a record of the things you have ate this week, you can make a diary to show how many vegetables, fruits and drinks you have per week. Another way to keep a track of it is that you tick five boxes per day, or colour them in which will help you keep up to how many portions you have ate in that day. You are supposed to eat around 80 grams of fruit/veg per day and maybe a drink that is 100 percent in Vitamin C etc...

Jamie Oliver

Jamie Oliver first became a chef when he left school, which intrested him in healthy eating and the italian side of food. He was concerned about schools not eating healthy, so he decided to write serveral books on the subject, before airing in his first TV Show, "Jamies School Dinners". He was worried that too many children in the UK were becoming obese, and he wanted to do something about it. This encourged a massive amount of the population in the UK to start eating more healthy and different ways you can eat them aswell. He also did alot of charity work aswell helping people eat healthy, which made him become No.1 chef in the UK, putting leading chef Gordon Ramsey in second place. Travelling to different places of the UK, Jamie Oliver has become a role model to many young students, encourging them to a healthy lifestyle.

I am going to link my campaign with these two, because i will discuss  healthy eating and making a eye-catchy logo.

STUDIO EQUIPMENT

This is a high quality light
which can be used for side lighting of the model. You have to make sure that the light is in the right position because if it is getting blocked in any way then it will overheat.


This is a white background
which is used for models, usually giving off a good effect to bright colours.

This is another
white background.

This is a
turbo windtunnel to create a windy effect. This however can also be dangerous because if the wind is on high then it could cause danger for people around it. Also make sure you don't put your fingers in there.

These are lightbulbs
that are used for the top notch lighting in our studio. You also have to be safe with these because they can very easily overheat if using them constantly.

This is a black background used
in the studio which is usually used for dark colours and creating darker pictures.

This is a
picture from the black background effecting the lighting, using one of the lights above.

Photography Session 2

Edited Photo 1 using
Photoshop and Black and White effects, and was taken against a white background and it also gives a good effect.
This is the first models picture and
gives good lighting effects, but it could be better if you couldn't see the light in the background.

This is a
black background picture, which also could be better because you can see the top of the black background a little bit faded.

Another use of
black background pictures, but again this could be better if it wasn't faded at the top.  

This is a good use of a picture
for the white background because it gives a good effect, and a good portrait picture.


Experimental Photography- Painting with light

I dont think this picture
is very good because you can still see the face, and not around the whole body. A way of improving this is making the background black so it the person stands out.

This is an edited version of the one at the top, and like i said before i have made the background black, which makes the image stand out better. Firstly i cropped the image out then i used the Paint Bucket to fill in the background.


This also is not a
because you can see me in the background. I could improve this by not breaking the line around the body and try to edit the picture in photoshop.


This is a better photo because
you can see the body lifting sort of. This could also be better by trying to edit out my feet at the back and go around the face more. Also you could make the background white to give the person a better effect.



This photo is an edited version of the top one. I think the white background makes it stand out more, but the effects could of been done a little bit better. I used the crop tool to cut it out, then coloured in the background with the white paint brush. 




This looks good because you can see
around the shoes, and it gives a good effect and also could be edited a little bit in photoshop.

Another one which is good because you can see the shoes, and it gives a good effect on the shoes.

This is a really bad photo because you cant
see much happening, but it good editted because the background becomes blacked out.

Experimental Photography

                                                                                        
                                                              This is an example of a Experimental photo, and it is good because it is close up and you can see the detail in the water.


A picture of some
animals to show another example of Experimental photography, and this is another example of a close up which i think is good because you can see the detail.

This is another close up version of the two animals, and you can also see the detail on them.

The last picture for
experimental photography, which i think is a good picture because the camera angle has changed and you can see it from a different perspective.

Botanical Gardens Photography

This is the waterfall at
Botanical Gardens, which i think is a good picture because of the effect the water gives off.

This is one of the greenhouse
leafs growing, which i like because you can see the detail of the leaf. 

These are a few plants
outside that were in the Botanical Gardens, which i don't really like because there not that colourful
and dont really stand out.

This is one of the rare chinese
plants that are in the Botanical Gardens, which i like because of its smooth and white texture.

This is an example of the wildlife
at the Botanical Gardens, which is good because it shows they care for the community of animals.

Another example of the
wildlife, which is also nice to see they care for animals.
These are a few of the more common
plants growing, which give off nice colours and stand out and i like this.

Some fruit that was at the Botanical
Gardens, where you can see the detail inside the Orange.

This is another small waterfall in Botanical Gardens, which fits in with all the plants there and looks really nice with all the different things there.
These are a few more indoor plants, which
are look good by themselves, but not with all the other plants.

A colourful purple plant, which is planted
outside the Botanical Gardens which doesnt look really good because its not that attractive and not many people see it.
