For this assignment, we have to work on a advert, my teacher Mark gave us some examples to inspire us to create a master piece.

In this assignment we are supposed to produce a freaky image using our own photography using our skills. Once we had made our image it would be used in an advert.

I was scrolling through  freaky images on google chrome  and I chose 10 images I liked  and added on my blog. I chose one of them an image of  a eye and a hand trying to reach it. I chose this because it seems really unique and interesting.

The characteristics of freaky images is that its all made up on editing software. The images I took were all freaky and unusual. 

By searching on google images I found an image of unusual urban art work which inspired to create something similar for my project. I thought it might be interesting to get a picture of an eye and a picture of two hands, combining the two photos an making it look like one photo as if the hands are holding the pupil of the eye.

The location was not so important because I had to zoom in the photo of the eye and also the photo of the hands, therefore the background: location did not matter so much. I used the help of a friend who modeled for me and posed. I took the photo of my friend's eye and hands. The props that I used were: the camera- main equipment and red head light to brighten up the photo.

I took few pictures to begin with, It took me at least two retakes to capture the photo of an eye and four pictures of the hands. This was done to make sure that pictures come out as accurate and professional as possible.

Things that I learned while doing this assignment were: how to use Photoshop tools such as: cropping, use of colour filters and disappearing images tool. 
I also learned the names of camera shots and how to use them: especially the mid shot, close up and bird's eye view.

If I had to redo this assignment, in future I would improve my work by playing around with the Photoshop software and using its tools to change the colour of the eye and also to blur the hands. It will be interesting to create the same photo but with a background next time.


My final image meets the definition of my work stated in my proposal. I did exactly what I mentioned to do for this assignment in my proposal. 
In my opinion,I believe that I have met the assignment criteria by creating a freaky image that could be used for my advert.
