Double colors exposure assignment

Double colors exposure assignment

  I took six pictures of a rock with my cellphone. I then chose my two favorites and used the app Adobe Lightroom on my phone to change the colors. It's an easy app to use, and to get different colors I changed the temperature, tint, vibrance and saturation. The edited photos are green and blue, because I really like these colors, and thought it would look nice.

Recreate a photo

Recreate a photo assignment

I chose these photos to recreate because they were easier and simpler than the other ones I found on the internet. It was hard to find photos that would be easy to recreate, mostly because the majority of them have more than one person, and they usually show their faces, something I’m not that comfortable doing.  All of them have differences from the original one to the new one. The first set of photos was really fun to take, and that was the closest I could get to the original; the woman and me are not in the same place, and we’re obviously not the same person, so these are some of the differences, but we are both standing on a podium and with flags behind us, and with a blue background, so these are similarities. The second set was also quite easy, but I made the mistake of taking the photo in the wrong angle, and I did not blur the background like the one from the internet, but the flowers almost look the same. The most similar one in my opinion is the one with the feet on the grass, but we can see that the shoes are not the same, and the pants are in different colours, also, the grass looks better on the original.

Stop Motion

Stop Motion - Project

We chose to draw our project because we would've needed more people than we had if we
wanted to do it some other way. So, our best opportunity was to draw and take pictures.
Our project is about an incident that happened this year in Brazil. A family was in their car,
driving on their way to a baby shower, in a poor suburb in Rio de Janeiro, when military men
started shooting at them for no reason. 80 gunshots, for no reason. The father, Evaldo dos
Santos Rosa, was the one driving, and was killed that day.
We decided to represent what happened in our project as a way of protest, and to show
people the horrible thing that happened, and keeps happening in out country, and in the
world.
The hardest part when we were creating the work was to draw the city, and to take the pics,
because the camera had to keep still.

Script:

Our project represents something that happened in Brazil. The video starts with an intro, a photo of Rio de Janeiro, one of Brazil's most famous cities, but that's also the place where this story, and many others, took place. The scene begins at night, with a man driving a car in a poor suburb of Rio de Janeiro. The main character, Evaldo dos Santos Rosa, is going to a baby shower with his wife, their son, goddaughter, and his wife's stepfather. But the family is surprised when, out of nowhere, some military men show up and start shooting at them, for no reason. 80 shots were fired. Unfortunately, Evaldo died, but thankfully, his family didn't get hurt. After the incident, brazilians started a campaign on the internet in memory of the father, but also protesting against racism, and Brazil's new president, Jair Bolsonaro, and his fanatic support of the military. In the next scene, we decided to represent a protest, for people to think about society's problems, such as racism and violence. We wrote down some sentences, and made them ''fall'' from what would be the sky, and that's how our video ends, with some people protesting, and with reflexive sentences.
