Photo Text Assignment "That Day"

What did you you like about this?

I really liked how my images turned out. My favourite is probably the one with the border. It has a little more colour and lyrics fit well. I really liked this assignment it really let me do what I like. I got to play with a lot of different filters and tools in photoshop. I got to find out about a lot of things that I wouldn't of on my own.

What didn't you like?

As I was working I noticed I didn't like how I sort of limited myself to dark images. I noticed in the picture you can't see the persons face and it kind of eliminated an idea I had. I also didn't like how I had to use the whole image. I think I would have liked to have been able to crop certian parts but there was too much in the picture and I felt it needed all of it to make sense with the lyrics.

What would you have changed?

I think I would have taken a different picture where I could work more with the human emotion of the song. I definately would have taken the picture in colour so I could have more realistic options when it came to putting colour in my image. I would have taken a picture where I could take parts and move them around to create a more out there image.

Photo Text Brainstorm

I chose the song 'That Day' by Tokio Hotel.
The sentences I chose are 'Everybody says that time heals the pain, I've been waiting forever, that day never came'

Image Ideas:
black and white, someone looking really depressed, or a sense of loneliness, doesn't have to be a person, I can represent loneliness with anything. Have one image where the lyrics stand out more and another where the image stands out and the lyrics are hidden.

Vintage Olympics

What did you like?
I like the sound effects because I think they bring the video together. I also like my idea for the Olympics because I was able to use quite a bit of clips for it.

What didn't you like?
I didn't like that I was unable to use crickets because I couldn't find a soundclip anywhere. I don't like how some of it just pops in here and there.

What would you change?
I would definately find a cricket sound and put it in where the little boy with the glasses has the completely dumbfounded expression on his face at the end. I would put more sounds in and maybe take out the subtitles. I would of liked to modify the one video a bit to kind of make it more Olympic like.
