Supporting Evidence: Editing images for my website

 


This is the original unedited photo.


I began to crop and resize the photo to what I thought looked best.


By pressing Ctrl + L, I altered the light levels to add contrast and lower brightness.


I then went in with a sponge tool and added depth to the whiter parts of the cats fur so you can see more detail as its whitewashed. 


 I lastly altered the sharpness of the image.


This is the final edited photo, the subtle changes has enhanced the photo even more.

He also suggested that narratives had to be driven by conflict from contrasting forces. When analysing media language you can apply it by: - What opposites can you see in costume, props, mise-en-scene - Effect of having one show against another - Is one seen as positive and one negative? Is the view challenged?  Examples of Binary opposites: - Boy vs Girl - Peace vs War - Democracy vs Dictatorship - Young vs Old - Protagon...
