P5: Produce a Portfolio of Images to Meet the Client Brief

 P5: Produce a Portfolio of Images to Meet the Client Brief

In this blog post, I will talk through the process I took to export my cinematic photography photos. 




I decided to export my photos in bulk (export 10 files can be seen in the top left corner) to make sure that the export settings are consistant across all photos. I created a new folder for my exported photos called "Cinematic Photography Completed Photos" to keep all of my files organised. 
 
I then decided to choose PNG as the file type for all of my photos. JPEG is lossy compression. This means that your file size is smaller but this sacrifices the quality of the photos. PNG can be lossy or loseless compression. I decided to use PNG loseless compression to present my photos in their highest quality, the only downside to this is my file sizes will be slightly larger. PNG is also great for the web since it can load quickly without the quality suffering.
 
Sharpening ensures that my photos are crisp while exporting, especially for the web or screens since I chose this option. I have included all of my metadata, this means that all of the data will still be attached to my photos.






Here is a link to my Fickr account so you can see my photos:

Afterwards, I decided to create a Flickr account to showcase my cinematic photography. To do this, I uploaded my photos to the website. You can clearly see my metadata from the title and description on the left. I made sure my photos are all rights reserved. This means that my photos are copyrighted and no one can use them in any way without asking for my permission or paying me for a license. I then limited my photos to friends and family only since I do not have permission yet to publicly show my photos. I will need to ask the people in the photos if they can sign a model release/consent form to do this.











 These are my final photographs. I edited these in Adobe Lightroom and exported them as PNGs.

P3: Manipulate Camera Settings to Control Exposure and Focus

 P3: Manipulate Camera Settings to Control Exposure and Focus   In this blog post, I will be explaining how I have used different camera settings and equipment to take my photos in my own artistic style. I have decided to create cinematic photography for my project.  This means that I wanted to create photos that look like real movie scenes. I chose different genres (horror, romance, action) so I could experiment with different camera settings and environments.   This is a Cannon DSLR 250D camera, this is what I used to take my photos. Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras have an in built digital sensor that can be used to focus on a specific subject while taking your photos. This camera does have a mirror inside. These cameras allow you to take photographs and videos that then save to an SD card. DSLR cameras also allow you to change the lenses of the camera to whatever you would like. For my photography work, I decided to stick with an 18-55mm lens. This camera lens ...

 D2: Apply editing Techniques to Enhance the Visual Impact of the Photographic Images In this report, I will demonstrate how I have used different editing techniques to create my intended cinematic photography look. I will use screenshots to show my editing process.                                       Raw Photos Before Editing   Here are my original photographs. As you can see my photos look very bland and boring. The photos are under-exposed, the colours look very muted and they don't correspond to the intended genres. By editing, I want my audience to be able to tell me what genre each photo is replicating. I chose to take photos of cinematic photography. This means that my photos will look as if they are part of a movie scene. First I am going to talk about the pure editing aspect of my photos and th...

 P4: Organise Photographs and Apply Processing Techniques  In this report, I will explain how I have orgainised the photographs I have taken for my cinematic photography project. I will also talk you through how I edited my 10 final photos and how I experimented with exposure.           Here you can see I have organised all of my photos into different folders to help me pick the best quality photos to edit. I decided to do this using the star system. I did this Adobe Lightroom because this is a professional photo editing software. I named each folder after the star sytem so it was easier to find the best quality photos I wanted when I ranked them.  This ensures that my photos are organised. As you can see I placed my 10 bet photographs into the Photos To Edit folder so I know which ones to edit. These screenshots demonstrate how I have used the star ranking system for my images. You can see the stars at the bottom of the screen. There are seve...
