2. CAMERA USED
For our documentary we decided to use
a Cannon HD camera to get the best
quality possible. This camera was good
to use due to the settings we could do
for example we wanted to get a blurred
background effect so we set the focus
so the camera would take a picture of a
blurred background.
3. HOW WELL I USED THE CAMERA
This was the first time I was going to
use a Cannon SLR camera. The first
picture I took was terrible so
therefore I decided to hand it to Gee
who took the picture of Gallowtree
gate. After developing my skills on the
day I took the picture of the police
officer. This turned out well and
therefore I think I use the camera
well. I have attached one of the
pictures we took with the camera that
didn’t go too well.
4. SOFTWARE
To create the poster I decided to use Photoshop due to my skill level and the
amount of tools available on Photoshop to make a professional poster.
5. TOOLS USED IN PHOTOSHOP
Rectangular marquee tool
Magnetic lasso tool
Quick Selection tool
Crop tool
Clone tool
Rubber tool
Text Tool
Color select
6. HOW WELL I USED THE BASIC
TOOLS
I think my final product was
produced by using the basic
tools like the magnetic lasso
tool. I think the use of the
magnetic lasso and quick
selection tool could have
been better. The text seen on
the poster was all done by
the text tool where I had to
select the size, colour and
font type.
I have attached an image of
what an image looked like
when I selected it to edit it.
8. HOW WELL I ADJUSTED IMAGES
I think I really showed my skills in adjusting
images on this poster. We took the pictures at
about 10:00pm and therefore I needed to work
on making the images brighter. The main
image I had to adjust was the police officer and
me and Gee had to take many images till we
finally got the lighting correct due to his
florescent jacket. On the side I have attached
what the police officer looked like when he
wasn’t adjusted.
10. HOW WELL I USED FILTERS
Honestly, I didn’t use any filters on
my poster as I felt there was no need
to due to the camera we had. I
would have used a blurred filter if
we used a digital camera however
because we used a SLR camera, we
set it so the focus would be perfect
for purpose. Here is what a sketched
filter would look like on our poster.
