Photography evaluation

Photography evaluation 

Our assignment was to make an advert out of the objects we took pictures of. I found a image of a light bulb with a scene going on inside. in this image there are underwater and pandas, lighthouse and a boat but this image is not advertising anything. Out of all the 

images I found this was the one I thought I could re-create from the objects I have at home. My plan was to advertise a war/action game like the call of duty, so I took pictures of toy soldiers and toy helicopters, tanks and fences and then edited them using Photoshop. Because they were too dark I had to get rid of the shadows using the levels and the curves tools. I took the photos in the classroom. The equipment I used was the tripod, red headlight, camera, light stand and the seamless background. I used the bulb from home and the toy soldiers that were already in college.

     

- This is my finale image 

The editing process i used was. I got a picture of a helicopter and changed it to black and white then I pasted in my light bulb and removed the inside and background, once the inside of the bulb was gone I got a background image of a desert then cropped around it so I could make the desert the same shape of the bulb so it looked like the desert was inside of the bulb then I got the soldier, barbed wire, and helicopter and merged it all together and turned it all black and white.
If I had to do this again I would try to make it look more realistic by maybe taking the photo of the bulb when its in sand so it looked like it was there and smoother the bulb so it looks more realistic and not like a sticker.
