Supporting Evidence: Issue 1 using layer masks


This is the photo I was going to experiment with layer masks.


I chose a second photo that i would like to layer on top of the main image.


I made sure my first photo wasn't sitting on my background, so I added another layer to edit with,


Using the quick selection tool, I highlighted the blue face mask, I refined my selection by adding and subtracting if I didn't get the selection accurate first time.


After the mask was accurately selected. I added a layer mask.



I brought in the second image and placed it over my original.



I inverted the layer mask by pressing Ctrl I and therefore the 2nd photo shows up behind the original.


In the future id used this to replace a background for a model on a magazine- or to create a text wrap around the image. Personally the outcome of this layer mask doesn't work so well but I know how to use this effectively in the future. Id also continue editing this picture to be eventually used for my Issue 1.

- I took multiple pictures of the same shot and they all came out interesting in their own element.  - They are all close ups - Taken from a low angle to emphasise the shapes of the flame - Taken outside using natural daylight- potentially even the light provided by the fire - I liked the shots were the sunlight is peeking through the trees in a dappled effect- even creating some interesting shapes which I managed to capture - The trees are in the background with the wood fire in the foreground- highlighting the main piece of the photo - No clear rule of odds but rules of thirds can be seen as the fire takes up the bottom 1/3 of the image leaving the top 2/3 with the naturalistic scenery  - Good contrast between bold orange/red fire and the delicate green background scenery. - Close up of leaves in tree- with one specifically in focus - Taken from a low angle with the camera looking up to create an interesting perspective - Dark shadows clear on m...

Theory Research: Structuralism - Levi Strauss - 'Relation between any two units compared in a binary pair' - 'Binary opposites form the basic structure of all human cultures, all human ways of thought and all human signifying systems' - 'In every binary pair, one term is favoured and the other is disfavoured' e.g. the idea of good and evil He examined the relations of mythemes and found it consisted of BINARY OPPOSITIONS He also believed that the human mind thinks fundamentally in these binary oppositions. 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...
