LECTURES

Week 5: Introduce to Double Exposure

This topic is about double exposure we are told to watch the lectures in the YouTube that Mr. Martin had provided in the slide, the lectures in the Youtube is the step of making the double exposure. We follow the steps to finished our exercise of double exposure in the class.

Week 6: Introduce to Exposure & Displacement Map

In photography, exposure is the amount of the light that reaches your camera sensor or film. This are the three settings that will affect the actual luminous exposure and brightness of an image.

- IRIS: Iris/ Aperture controls the flow of light entering the lens. ( The lower the f-number, the larger         the lens opening)

- SHUTTER: The shutter is a small plastic sheet that opens and closes to allow light onto the film or prevent light from reaching the file. (the higher speed per second, the smoother the image)

- Originally referred to the sensitivity of film - it's "light gathering" ability. For digital photography, ISO refers to the sensitivity - the signal gain - of the camera's sensor. (The lower the number of ISO the less sensitive you camera is to light and the finer the gain)

From lens perspective, there are wide-angle lenses, standard lenses and tele lenses. The appropriate lens provided the desired framing, lenses choice affect the angle of view. Different lenses are designed for different purposes.

Lenses can be categorised by FOCAL LENGTH>

- FOCAL LENGTH: It is the measurement(in millimetres) from the optical centre of a camera lens to the camera's sensor. (The shorter the focal length, the wider the angle of view and vice-versa)

- DEPTH OF FIELD: The proportion of the image that is reasonably sharp and in focus. (The smaller the aperture you use, the greater the depth of field)

= Standard Lens: It offers a fairly accurate representation of what the human eye sees, both in terms of visual angle and perspective. Image created by the standard lens are perceived as more natural than those taken with other types of camera lens.

= Tele Lens: They are great for isolating a subject that is far away. It allows you to photograph subjects from a distance thanks to their magnification.

Week 7: Introduce to Healing Brush Tool

This week is introduce to use the healing brush tool. The healing brush tool in photoshop elements corrects slight imperfections on an image. It does this by blending them together with the pixels in the surrounding image. Therefore, the healing brush is that the spot healing brush requires no sources point. Whereas, the healing brush needs a source point. Healing brush is a default healing tool. Spot healing brush tool is used to clone areas and quickly remove the blemishes form the image. The main differences between spot healing brush and the normal healing brush is that the spot healing brush requires no source point. Whereas, the healing brush needs a source point. 

- HEALING BRUSH: similar to content - aware version of the clone stamp tool. It enables you to clone the area you want form an image and blend the pixels form the sample area seamlessly with the target area.

- PATCH TOOL: primarily used to repair larger areas of an image, or get rid of any distractions or blemishes. 

Week 8: Independent Learning Week

Week 9: Introduce to Adobe After Effects & Final Project

In this week Mr. Martin introduced the After Effect page and the tool / features in the after effect. Next, he start to show us how to operate the after effect to us. Therefore, he also introduced us of our final project which is making a poster of ourself (self-portrait) and we need to animate it in just a very subtle sort of animation.

Week 10: Introduce to Parallax

In this week Mr. Martin introduced us the parallax photo effect and how to make it an animated GIF in Photoshop. Beside that's, he show us the process of making the animated GIF step by step.
