what is Surrealism
surrealism was started in 1924 by the poet André Breton’s first Manifesto. It is what happens in your dreams, wired stuff can happen like a person drowning from a jug it can also can help people express their feelings.
Salvador Dalí
Salvador Dali was a surrealism artiest who was born in Spain. He was born 11 may 1904 and he died in 23 January 1989. hos art is mostly do to with time and how it can effect people this is shown thought all of his art
This is my favourite image because I like it,the melting clock I think shows how time is going quicker then we think and we should care for every second that we are alive.By putting the colour brown in both corners creates an overall balance in the image this draws your eye to the corners. He uses the contrast of the light blue against the different colours of browns to give the image a sharper look. The composition of the image is that all the clocks are all in the bottom corner using the rule of thirds.
I like this image because it shows how bad war can be. I think that the gas mask is eating people I think that this represent the amount of people that are killed with poison gases in war. In this image the composition is good this is because you can see that the face has skulls in his mouth and in his eye this shows how many people die in war. The viewpoints of the picture is very central this means that the skull is in the centre of the image this draws your eye to the skull. The colours on the image are dark this is to empathise how dark death is in war.
MAN RAY
man ray was born on 27 august 1890 and died on 18 November 1976. He was a surrealist photographer. He was born in america but spent most of his life in France.
I like this image because I like the contrast between the black and white.It makes it look like a kid has drawn the face on a human and I like how Man Ray has used
the rule of thirds of the persons face. He has use a black and white contrast this is to show the expression on the face. The face is in the centre of the image this allows your eye to see the face first.

mind map
shoot 1
For my first shoot I want to capture a person flying through the air to do this I will take a picture of a person jumping then I will take a picture of the sky and make it look like the person is flying through the sky by using Photoshop. When I am going to take the picture of the the person I will make him jump off a ledge for this shot I will use a high ISO this is because it will capture the person in the air. to capture the sky I will take a picture of the sky with perfect exposure
best photoI like this photo of the sky this is because it is bright and you can see the clouds on the photo this is because the clouds
This image is good because it shows his feet are in the air this also allow me to use thisimage for editing when I make it look like he is flying in the sky.

worst photoThis is not a good image this is because you can see the roof this ruin the the atmospher this is wht I decied to take the image of just the sky this made it look more realstic.
|
In this image I have edited the model from the orignal backgroud from which I croped him out and put him In the sky background but when I copied him the white backgroud was still there so I had to usae the rubber tool to rubber out all of the white
final PIECE
In this image I have smooth over all the edges this is so it would look much cleaner. In this image the person is flying away from all of his problems. when he is flying he dose not have to be aware of anything that is going on in the world around him as there is no one there.
shoot 2
For this shoot I will take a picture of a person then I will make it look like they are shooting a fireball from there hands to do this I will use Photoshop. when I take a picture with a f.stop of 36 this is important because it will allow me to get the whole image in the photo. I will take the photograph of the model outside near the gate I will focus on the front of the model and the model hands will be near there chest.
best photoThis is the fireball that I will use for my shoot I got this fireball from the internet the resson I am using this fireball because it is round so I can make it fit in the maodel hands..
This photo is good because you can see the hands in the picture and is in focus. This will mean that it will be easy to put the fireball in.
|
worst photoThis is not a good image this is because the image is not in focus that mean you can't see the model this mean that it will not make an effective photo as the only thing in focus will be the fireball and the person to be in focus to.

editing process
I had to get rid of the black around the fireball to do this I had to use the magnetic lasso this meant that all the black was gone.
I put the fireball inside the hands this is to make it look like he is holding it but this did not look realistic.
I got this glow for the fireball this is so it could make the fireball look more realistic in the person hands.
I place the glow behind the image of the fireball but this did not look right so I had to crop the glow.
I cropped the glow of the fireball but it did not look smooth
I used the smudge tools to make the image of the fireball glow look more smooth but the image was to dull.
I adjusted the brightness of the image so it would look more bright.
final PIECE
In this image the depth of field is large this is because you see the background. I like that you can not see the eyes of the model this draw your eye to the fireball. This image makes the model look superhuman because he is holding a ball made out of fire.
shoot 3
I will take two pictures of a person one image will be of them being sad the other will be of them happy. Then I will create an image where they are mirroring each other to look like they are having a conversation. I will make the sad face black and white and the happy face in colour. I will take these picture in the yard. My model will be stood up the focus will be on the facial expression.
final photo
In this image you can see that there are two version of each person one is the happy person which you can see on the out side the other is the sad person who no one see expect from the person that it is. This makes you feel that you should share your feelings with people which would mean that you do not need to see this black and white person. I have made the happy face in colour as everything can clearly be seen but the sad face is black and white as only one person can see it and no one else can that one person being him.
In this image I have used the liquify tool on Photoshop so I could make it look like the model is melting. then I use the magnetic lasso to crop the face, then I made the face smaller. Then I put the faces on the big face. Then I use the variation tool to make it look this colour. I have done this so it look like Dali's melting clock done with a person.
evaluation
In all my picture you can see the clear message of all the images. This allow you to see what I have done and see the progress I have made from the first picture to the last picture.
