  1. Is the movie title prominently featured? Is the text easy to read? - the title is good in the poster because it is in the middle and differnt colour font and the txt is quite hard to read because it is placed where lightd arebeaming up so you cannot read it as easily as you would want.

  5. What text is shown on the poster? Is there a catchy slogan? If so, what does it tell you about the movie's story? - it tells you when it is getting released, the main charecters, the special stars in the film, that it is in 3D and there slogan is good because it is appropiate for the film.

studio photography

in this lesson we took it in turn to take pictures of each other infront of how a real studio would look












this is the setup of how a studio would look an this is how we had ours. in consists on having a back light, key light, and fill light. the key light is very bright and you cannot look directly at it otherwise you can get eye damage..


these are some of the pictures taken in the studio and how they came out.

camara obscura practice



in this lesson we used a pringle tube to make a camara obscure. first of  all we cut the tube in half and placed some tracing paper where it was cut, then we used masking tape to put it back together again and pin pricked a hole into the metal bottom of the tube. once that was done we put more tape around the tubing to make sure it doesnt move out of place and then we laced it up against the window where it was very bright and we could see everything out of the window but upside down.

colour photography

1) can you find Image evidence of the technique? - 










2) When was it first discovered and by whom? - 
James Clerk Maxwell is credited with the first colour photograph in 1861. His technique is still the basis of colour photography today. The first color plate made from Autochrome,reached the market in 1907. It was based on a 'screen-plate' filter made of dyed dots of potato starch and was invented by French Lumière brothers.n 1935, American Kodak introduced the first modern (integrated tri-pack) color film, Kodachrome, based on three colored emulsions

3) What is special about the technique? - what is so special about this technique is that it can show the true colours oif where it was taken and instead of having black and white.. it is very clever and is amazing on how much it is used. almost every picture you will see now is in colour and you can edit them into different colours... 

4) How does this technique work? Can you find or describe the processes needed to make it work? Maybe illustrate how it is made. - the inventer Maxwell showed that if you take 3 B&W slides taken through a Red, Green and Blue filters, then project those same slides back through the three filters you get a colour picture. the three colours are dyer layers within the film, there is a B&W layer that takes the photograph and then acts as an contatc print...

5) Can you comment how important this technique has been for the history of photography. For example was it popular and is it still used today? - this technique is so important for everyone now. it has taken a big part in peoples lifes and now they live around colour photography. it has been used ever since it got invented and up to this day is still used massivly. in the past some amazing images have been taken in colour and i think that it is very important to our history that colour was around then..
