I like the quality of these to videos and would like my own to look as good.

Playing a single player game and putting it on YouTube is something that sounds like good fun to me and is something I would like to do in the future.

 I like this because it would teach me how to do things and help me understand how the machines worked and was entertaining at the same time.

 I would like to do get a group of friends play a game and put it on the web the entertainment of others. Similar to this.

Part one: The arts challenge

Which taster session did I enjoy the most?
I enjoyed the photography taster session the most because I feel that I have improved the quality of my photography skills.
My photo editing skills are quite weak because I struggle when it comes to using Photoshop.
I am okay with a camera I can usually can my way around them without to much trouble and I consider this a strength.

Here are two examples of my photography last year.

This is a more recent example and you can notice straight away that it is alot clearer and in focus,

But in the future I should be sure to have better lighting.

Example of my photo editing.

Original

Although I enjoyed the photography taster the most, for my Arts award challenge I am planning to do video editing  because it interests me and is something that I want to improve at, and try something new to challenge to help improve my editing skills.

I will show my progression by showing clips of videos I have edited.

I want to take clips from trailers and other videos and make them into my own story slash montage kind of thing.To do this I would have to use the macs because the computers do not have the programs that I will need to use.

Photography

Today we have took some photographs and uploaded them to Photo bucket and next we made a slideshow of the photographs on our blogger.

Video Editing

Animation taster

Today I have made an animation of the person in the image opening their mouth on Photoshop, and had a lot of fun doing it. 

To start of you click timeline and then select create frame animation then use the polygonal lasso tool to draw around the jaw then cut > paste special > paste in place move it down a little and click duplicate frame.

Photoshop taster

We had a taster in Photoshop today I used the Dark strokes/ink outlines/film grains tools and the horizontal type tool.

Dark strokes > ink outlines >film grains

And horizontal type tool.
