In my Photography
class, I took my own picture of cat food I brought from home to use to make an
advert. To do this, I placed the cat food on a white backdrop and shinned a
redhead light onto it to make the product brighter. This redhead light was
placed on a light stand to help support it. I had to make sure not to touch the
redhead as it heats up extremely quickly meaning the bulb could burst easily. I
set up the camera on a trip pod, waited for it to focus on my product then took
multiple pictures from different angles of my product so when I came to edit
it, I would have multiple choices. The name I have chosen for my cat food is ‘Meow
Chow’ and the slogan shall be ‘The cat food to kill for’ to correspond it with
the Freak or Unique theme.
Making my
magazine advert
I will take
the image I took in class and place it into Photoshop, I will then use the
curve tool in order to whiten the background to make it easier to edit out.
Next I will use to wand tool to remove the background leaving just the image of
the cat food. With some help from the images from Google I will be able to
create a magazine advert after looking up the sizes for a standard magazine
page. I will take the background image from Google and edit it to make it
darker and creepier. After, I can gather images of some cat eyes (from Google) and
use the air brush tool to give them a glowing effect in order to make it
freakier. I can then Google images of hands to use for my advert. I will delete
the background using the magic eraser tool and add a black and white effect to
them. By using the air brush tool, I can make the end of where the hand appears
not so sharp in order to make it look as if the hand is coming out of the
darkness. Since I want to lean towards freakier than unique, I can make blood
drip down the stairs then end in a huge puddle at the bottom wear the cat
collar will be placed. Hopefully with the tools I’ve learned to use I can make
a convincing looking advert which will pursued people to buy my product.
However, I need to keep in mind if I cannot take out the camera and if the
redhead light does not work.
