This Advert uses a Close up shot during filming. The advert is a very unusual advert because the person doing this has got ice cream on top of her head and is eating it. This is one of the things you wouldn't see anyone do normally.

Unique Ghostly Images - 24/09/2015

Image 1

Image 2

Image 3

Image 1 - In the first image, i chose a picture of a disused bathroom and a spooky looking person in a suit. i had to copy and paste the picture on to the background and make the image the right size by pressing Ctrl + T. I then had to get rid of the background by using the pen tool on photoshop. I then had to desaturate the picture and make it look black and white to make it look ghostly and also change the Opacity of the photo to make the person look like a ghostly like image. I liked the way the picture looked ghostly, but i didn't like the way the person didn't blend in to the image as well as image 2 and 3.

Image 2 - In this image i found a picture of a spooky like forest, It had a person in the middle of it which i used Content Aware to get rid of the person and making a Duplicate copy of the background to cover up the person. I then got a picture of a hunter, then with the pen tool got rid of the background on the picture and desaturated the picture. I liked the picture of the forest but didn't like that it had a person in the middle of it before editing it.

Image 3 - This Image is my favourite Image. I found a picture of an old fashioned castle that was abandoned, then looked for a picture of a knight which suited the scene of the castle. I then used the pen tool to get rid of the background and changed the opacity of the image and stuck it on the path to make it look as if it was on a patrol round the castle.

Banner

This pic is of my banner that i created, I first of all got a rectangle and then used the anchor tool to get the rectangle to have the dips.I then made 2 Squares and used the anchor tool to make them into triangles. I then put the triangles at the borrom of the rectangle and coloured the rectangle in and the triangles to make this banner.

Pictures that inspire me - 15/09/2015

Trapped inside myself... In my most down moments this picture really represents how I have felt

Picture 2

Tom French creates portraits or paintings of skull filled with other people. It's almost like we are filled with all these memories and pains and it's written on our face, or rather in the shadows, the dark parts we hide, we disguise.

Picture 3

There's a place down at the end of the way. Travel at dark, you won't find it at day. It appears, then leaves like a shadow in the mist. Here now, gone the next, it won't even exist.

Advertising Theory - 15/09/2015

Slogan Task

At the start of the lesson we got given a piece of paper with some set slogans in a grid, our task was to find out which products/companies the slogans came from. We then had to explain how the companies/products were advertising it and what draws people to go and buy the products. 

Group Task

In the lesson, we were asked to create a advertisement that was designed for a set audience such as toddlers which was to be put on a Billboard. Our group chose a "Spongebob Snack Bar" which had Oats, Raisins and apples in it.

The Slogan for our product was "Play with it and Eat it". The Reason we chose this slogan is because we added a free toy with the snack bar which the toddlers could play with after eating the product. 

We chose bright colours and cartoons to draw the attention to the toddlers and also added some text in to the advertisements to try and convince the parents to buy the product for their kids. 

What could we Improve?

If i was to do this again, i would plan it out on a piece of paper and brainstorm it to try and get some more ideas to produce a bigger and better product. We could of also planned out what we were going to say and make it clear who was saying what in the presentation.
