Evaluation of use of technologies

I have learnt lighting techniques, the definite need for high resolution images and how to frame effectively to create interesting compositions that keep the reader interested. Even when photographing I had to consider angles and knew that high angles would connote looking down on the person making them seem inferior or weak which is not what I wanted to create. This is why i took a low angle which made the guitar look much bigger and important. The locations were difficult to get right however, I photographed mostly inside by fabrics- which were rich in colour and texture making an interesting background to the image and keeping with the colour scheme. I have developed my skills with photo shop through trial and error. I have improved heavily with changing levels, hue and saturation to create exciting colours, tones and textures within my images. I am really pleased with the photographs in comparison to the ones in my original music magazine which were out of focus, poor quality. Now my images look quite glossy which contrasts with my running theme showing it doesn’t fit in which could be a representation of my target audience to the rest of society. Photo shop has enabled me to produce higher quality products but still with the anti-commercial appearance because of the linear burn effects. I am also pleased with my time management within the coursework retake assignment because I have produced my three products with a range of discarded attempts as well (which I have blogged to show development). They are all to a high standard and have been at some points able to produce extra drafts for improvements.
