Document what you did in the session on Tuesday and Wednesday (Pictures, Diary entries, Printouts ETC) On Tuesday we recorded us telling the story of Dr Seuss, we started by reading through the poem to see who was doing what part. Then we set up the microphone on the table and got ready to record. As everyone was doing different parts we recorded each section separately but still in order to keep in the right flow. After it was recorded we then connected the mic to the computer and transferred the files List under the following headings: Research that you carry out in these sessions Skills that you have tried,  Any  processes  and  methods  you used. Any  tools  that you used

Media carousel day Yesterday I had a taster of Media, I ended up generating an advert about a BIC ™  pen that has 4 pen colours in one, so it wasn't no ordinary pen resulting in it needing an ad that showed off that it was a 4 in 1. The class started of in 4 groups and discussed ideas for the advert, how it would be lighted and shot. Then the groups got together and pitched their ideas for the class to then choose what they thought was the best idea to then create the ad and piece it together. The class ended up on deciding my groups idea (mainly Heathers idea). Next we then assigned everyone to a task, I was assigned to controlling the main camera. The camera I was manning was the main shot for the advert as it was the wider shot on all of the actors and then became the narrow shot on the main actor who had the BIC ™ pen. The process of making sure everyone was in there place and doing what they was supposed to be doing.

The Photographer called Alex Titarenko was born in 1962 in Russia as a Russian artist and photographer, he then became a neutralised american. At the age of 15 Titarenko became the youngest member of an independent photo club Zerkalo, then later went on to graduate with honors from from the department of cinematic and photographic art at leningrad's institute of culture. The image above is one of Titarenko's most famous pieces, where people are walking up some steps and touching the railing to the side. This could of been created by having a long shutter speed that then captures the movement of the people walking and touching the railing. The method that is used creates an image of what can look like a monster making its way up the steps with multiple hands and legs that pause for the right amount of time to show them in more detail. The image has been captured off centre resulting in there being more in the image even when the image it self is only square. 

Susan Derges is a photographic artist born in England in 1955, she specialises in cameraless photography (aka, photograms).

This results normally in a negative shadow image that shows differences in shade depending on how transparent the object that was place on top was. Originally having trained in painting, she had expressed an early interest in abstraction. Derges then turned to cameraless photography after having some frustration with the way that the  "the camera always separat

Signifier - What is making you think "Rose" Signified - The thing you are thinking of "Love" Denotation - The simple thing it self "House" Connotation - Things that make you think of that thing "Home" Symbolic - Picture that is clearly the thing "Stop sign" Iconic signs - Things that represent something else "Mcdonalds logo" Indexical signs - No resemblance between the signifier and the signified "gender signs"

Today we experimented with depth of field and different shutter speeds to see the different effect that they allow for. Changing the shutter speed can allow you to get a fast moving object to look stationary if the shutter speed is fast enough, which allows you to capture things in mid air as if it is floating or just capture the subject you want in a clear and crisp way with no blur. The other spectrum of the shutter speed is if the shutter speed is slow, this allows more light to get in though so settings will need to be changed to comply with that exposure. When the shutter speed is slow it can blur subjects if they are moving or if you have a static subject but everything else around is moving you can then have blurred surroundings with movement in them while the subject is clear and with no blur, causing a fairly cool looking image. The shutter speed all determines on what sort of image you are going for and how you want the subject to look in the image. Depth of field is what y

How a SLR or DSLR takes a picture: SLR's and DSLR's are almost identical to each other in the way they function, the only difference is how they capture the image. SLR's capture the image via film, so when the mirror flips up it then allows the light to go through to the film, the same goes for the DSLR but in stead of film it goes to a sensor. When you press the shutter button on a camera to take a picture you trigger the aperture to move to where you have specified for it to be at, it can be restricting the light going through or allow more light through. the way to counteract this is to change the shutter speed to longer or shorter, therefore allowing the film or sensor to be exposed to light for longer.

Today in the dark room we produced some more images with a pin hole cameras, after we developed those images we then proceeded to change them from a negative image to a positive, we did this with the enlargers and then we manually developed that image. The exposure time that we used was the highest that the enlarger would go and that was 99 seconds. The images that was produced came out fairly well, it was a little underexposed so the image wasn't perfect, but it still was only my 4th Pin hole camera Photo. How to use a Pin hole camera and how to take a negative image and develop the positive of it: To use the pin hole cameras you place a piece of dark room paper in the pin hole camera (shoe box), make sure that you are doing this in a dark room as it will expose the light to the paper and that will result in that piece being unusable, so handle it all in a dark room it self. Then take the pin hole camera out of the dark room, but making sure that the light isn't able to g
