Evaluation

      In this assignment I was asked to create a board game containing at least three creatures as well as a background. However getting a picture for the actual box all we needed to do was take an image from the studios that created Harry Potter. And for the three creatures we needed six image to create them.   For our research we were able to find out about different creatures that was shown on the harry potter Octology for example the hippogriff from the first film and the dementors from the third film. The animals we used to create these creatures were from a farm called Stone bridge Farm. But to do this we needed an idea on what animals to take pictures of. I settled on using a horse, a pony, a pig, a pigeon as well as a chicken and a duck. With these animals i will be able to create some interesting images. I wanted to manly have all of my animals with many heads as well as it looking that it has be morphed together with magic.     
    The animals that I focused on were mammals and birds. the reason behind this choice was that the birds would provide any wing or heads, and the mammals would be the body and legs. There are many thing i had to take into consideration for example i used the cloudy white balance since it was dark enough to warrant its use, another reason would be location on where i take these images since if i take the image within a pen the image would be dark however if i take it while there outside it will would have been somewhat bright than those i took inside, finally the biggest conundrum would have been if the animal was half in and half out then there will be a large contrast on the animals fur. To fix this I had to take the image of each animal with consistency . Thanks to this reasoning I have achieved what i set out to do in this brief since I believe that i have created some interesting images creatures. the shots that I took during our trip to Harry Potter World would be as followed: So out of these images the one I used the second image since it's a box within a box so with Photoshop i could make all three of my creatures come out of the box, this is going to be my cover design for my box and i'll make the sides of the box black and red so that the consumer can focus on the front image. The editing process I used was to have 3 animals of the 6 animals to be placed onto the other 3 animals as different body parts I did this by cutting out what i needed and placed it on a new layer above  the 3 original image and used the luidfy tool to morph the animals together .
The thing that i will be doing differently will as follows; Double checking the aperture, taking shots of subject matters at a different angle and research the different monsters in more detail. the reasons for me saying these things is because in all of my images i had taken at Stone-Bridge farm all had a glare of white on it because of me aperture being too wide and the other one is because most of the pictures i took all of them have been at the same angle.Finally i feel that the research i did didn't suffice enough after i'd done it.However it's not all bad i learned about the different filters on Photoshop as well as the actual editing software. Even though there was some changes I do believe that my final image coincides with what i was going for within my brief.There might be a few alterations but that  was because I couldn't use the images i had or it just did't feel right.

Final Creatures

For my first creature i will be combining the Chicken and the Duck together to create the 'Ducken'. The way I did this was by cutting the Duck out of its picture and overlaying it with the Chicken on a different layer, then i changed the opacity to only 50% so i could cut around the head of the Duck so that it fits around the chicken. My 2nd creature is a 'Pigeonhog' I did this combination by using the clone tool on the Pig and then layered and copied the Pigeon 3 times and then cloned the Pig's ears and fur onto the bodies of the pigeons. My final image is practically using the same editing method as the other images, it's a combination between using the clone tool and the liquidation tool. Also I when I will put my final creatures together I'll be using the gaussen blur then I will change the opacity to around 50%. This will give of the feeling that the creatures are spectral beings

ISO: 200


Aperture: F7
Shutter Speed: 1/15
Composition: Rule of Thirds

 P1050438: This image is the best because the aperture wasn’t too wide and the shutter speed wasn’t too slow or fast and thanks to the ISO its really detailed

ISO: 200
Aperture: F7
Shutter Speed: 1/15
Composition: Rule of Thirds
 P1050408: This image has a nice feel to it because the house in the background has become blurred so that enhances the birds to be more of the focus point

ISO: 200
Aperture: F7
Shutter Speed: 1/15
Composition: Rule of Thirds
 P1050404: This image has a nice outcome because of the depth of field is high because of the tree trunk in the back ground.
