Class Assignment- Commerical

1) A couple of talents/skills i think would be useful if you were a digital artist would be:
  • Creativity: If they are creative they can come up with new and interesting designs that people would be interested in.
  • Time Management skills: This would also be a useful skill because then all the big projects would get done on time.
  • Computer technology skills: This would be useful because when doing anything on a computer it can be difficult and it makes it ten times easier to get around on a computer if you know more about it and have computer skills.
  • Good art Knowledge: This would be useful as well, because then you will know all about things like Proportion and all the elements and principles of art and design.

2) Three tools i think were used would be

  • Layer tool: To put in different backgrounds and objects where you dont nesicarily want what background it is in already.
  • Clone Tool: It could be used for cloneing more of the croud
  • Crop tool: Because certain pictures may need to be cropped and the size may have needed to be adjusted.
  • Move Tool: This is used to move stuff.

3) The ten Occupations i think would be involved in making this video would be: Sunt

  • Photographer: Would Take pictures of each thing/player they need. For example Maybe they would take pictures of all the players so they can get their features right and so that it looks the most realalitic.
  • Photoshop artist: This Person may create all the different slides and put them in order and make sure they are in order and all go togeather and work.
  • graphic designer: Produces Visual Solutions to the communication needs of clients. Designers need a couple of qualities such as imagination, awareness of current fashion and style, and working knowledge.
  • Stunt Coordinator: Organize and prepare all the stunts and different ways to make these stunts look realistic and matching to the situation. Most of these stunts would be filmed on a green screen and then bits and pieces of what they want would be taken and used in the short film/commercial.
  • Sound Designer: Selects or creates music and sound effects for the production. All of that material is then recoreded and formatted for playback in the performace.
  • VP On Air Promotions: This person would be who puts it on the certain tv stations, and makes deals and comproises with other tv Productions.
  • Editor: Editors do different things depending on what the job is in this case it would be for a ad. They Would Most likely go over everything in the end and also have to make sure everything is there and is included that needs to be there. They are impotant in the end product of the commercial.
  • Second unit Camera: Films what needs to be filmed, and all the different elements that are needed and will be needed in the commerical.
  • 3D Artists: Make everything that is 2D into 3D. For example some pictures may be 2D and they need to be made into 3D Figures. They would also have to make sure it all looks realistic and make any adjustments to what ever they have to.

Rythem

I picked this picture for rythem because all the arch ways flow and blend in togeather very well. They also all fit togeather to form one similar pattern.

Harmony

This image demonstrates Harmony, because it shows how a whole bunch of umbrellas are all togeather and in the same harmony.

Emphasis

I thought this picture demonstrates emphasis very well because the whole picture is all one colour and very plain. but then to empasise the person on a swing they make it in a completly different colour that makes it stand out and that is not like the background at all.

Form

This picture shows a example of Form. it does this by showing all different kinds of forms that this mushroom could come in.

This picture shows lots of variety it shows at least 4 different kinds of bird feathers.
This picture shows balance well because on the right side of the painting there is a house and many trees. but on the left there is only a couple trees. but because 2 of them are closer and darker it makes the left side look just as full, creating a even balance.


This picture shows proportion well because it shows a little boy in grass that is up to his neck, but then it shows a tall women and the grass is as tall as her knees. so it shows that even though the grass looks tall it may actaully not be that tall.

I picked this picture for the element space. It shows how big something is compared to another object.





I picked this picture for an example of shade. It has lots of shade on the parts where the mountain is the steepest.

I picked this painting for the element shape. I think its a good example because there are so many different shapes every piece of the painting has a new shape.



I picked this picture for line because there is more than one place with very defined lines. The main lines are just on the side of the buildings as the go up. but also there are many different lines on the building. For example the windows.


I picked this picture for colour because i thought even though the colours are more faded than usual it does show many different colours that are all different and unique.


I chose this picture for the element of texture because i think it shows lots of detail in the animals eye and skin. It also shows all the bumps and lines on his skin and all the different cracks in his eye.
