Today i've been learning how to use Photoshop software. We learnt a lot about the basic tools on it and how to use them within pictures and posters to create effect. For example, we experimented a lot with the 'Lasoo Tool' and the 'Burn Tool'.
I also discovered how to edit and switch characters' heads from the posters. Some of the results were very funny and I was glad to be learning in a fun, productive way. I, in addition, came across a colour enhancing feature which was very effective for some of the posters I edited. In one I enhanced the colour of a character's blue eyes, and it really added to the eerie image the poster was already portraying.
I was later taught the term 'Mise En Scene'. This phrase literally means 'setting a scene' and is the French for 'everything in frame'. A photograph will portray an image to an audience member, and instinctively they will receive information about the style, genre and location of the scene.
'The Rule of Thirds' is a particularly important feature of Mise En Scene. It consists of two, invisible horizontal and vertical lines crossing one another across the image. This is very similar to that of a noughts and crosses game board. It is common that the main focus should be placed at the very centre of the image, however, to create different effects the image can be moved to either side of the frame. Furthermore, I experimented with this too.
