Jayson's Photographic Scavenger Hunt

Reflection:

In this project, I learned how to enhance the light and colors in photos with Photoshop. I also learned how to get better ideas for certain types of photos. I think I have a better eye for photos right now compared to my old self, but I'm not the best. HDR pictures are probably my favourite because of how amazing the picture can turn out. I feel like the project was a tough job for me only because I had to get up and walk around to find photos and props to use on the project. But this project has gave me a better understanding on how to take photos and use Photoshop to further improve the photo.

Oh The Thing I Learned in Term 2

Term 2 Assignments:

Photo Essay 

Andy Warhol

Macro Madness

We are Sargent Park Reflection


In Term 2, I learned more things about what Photoshop can do through the Andy Warhol assignment. I also learned more about Photoshop by editing my pictures for projects like my macro madness and photo essay. I also learned how to use iMovie through the "We are Sargent Park" video. Before that project, I had no idea how to work in iMovie. But after a stressful month of editing, at least I know how to edit a simple video.

Next term, I would like to learn more about Photoshop. I've always been fascinated by people who know how to use the program. I wan't to learn everything about any Photoshop application out there. Mainly because I want to mess around and create weird things. Learning how to use Photoshop like a professional is what I'd want to learn in Term 3 for my personal enjoyment.

Jayson's WE are Sargent Park Reflection

           

Photo made by: Jayson

           We made the video by first getting our ideas and thoughts on how to make it on paper. We needed to get pictures and videos relating to Sargent Park. My group, consisting of me Patrick and Andren, took most of the Jr.High pictures while everyone else did their own thing. After we got all of our pictures, Mr. Harbeck gave each group a Mac to start editing our video. He handed out 1 Mac to the four groups and each group got a segment of the video to do. My group was working with the Jr. High segment because we had a lot of pictures of grade sevens, eights, and nines. Since we had very little time to work on the video, we decided to edit after school from 3:30 to 4:30. For me, the hard part of this assignment was getting each segment to match others so it appears somewhat consistent. After all the groups were done editing, we put it altogether. I think the video came out better than I expected it to be. But I don't know if we won against the other group or not. Overall, making the video was a very educational experience for all of us and I learned a lot about iMovie and the process of making a video.

Jayson's Photo Essay

It’s December 25, Christmas day.

A time of happiness,

and joy for everyone who celebrates on this special occasion.

For the people who celebrate Christmas,

they usually decorate their house with various ornaments that light up in the night.

They even decorate the inside of their house,

so visitors can appreciate the effort they put into Christmas.

Some people go a little easy on the decorating.

But it still makes their house stand out in the night.

Others put a lot of effort into decorating their house,

So people can stop and watch how beautiful  the decorations are.

There are a lot of things that represent Christmas,

like a Christmas cactus that blooms in December.

The most popular one the pine tree,

also known as the Christmas tree,

where people decorate it with different types of decorations.

Even with all the decorations,

you can’t have a Christmas tree

without a star on top.

For kids, they mostly care

about what’s underneath the tree.

The presents given to the child from their family.

Or from a child's perspective,
they think the present's from the guy up north. 

Christmas is also a religious celebration for some people.
A lot of people can celebrate Christmas is many different ways.

But the most important part of Christmas is having your family with you,
because Christmas isn't complete without them.

Jayson's Remembrance Day Reflection

.

I made this video by first getting a group. Harbeck placed me in a random group and we were given a list of poems to choose from. Our group chose the poem "A Wish" by Maxine Kendall. When all the groups were assigned a poem, our next task was to search for pictures that match what the poem was saying and dump all of it into a Google drive post that is shared with the whole group and Harbeck. I was given a section of the poem which reads,

"I could despair of seeing

peace throughout the land,

no longer hearing talk of war,

blood with desert sand"

The hardest part about this assignment is that I had to do was to find pictures for each sentence. I only came up with two pictures for this whole paragraph. The photo I did for "no longer hearing talk of war, blood mixed with desert sand," was the best picture I've found relating to the sentence.

After getting the pictures, we put all of the groups pictures into iMovie. We had to put voice overs for the pictures to actually make the movie. I was the one who had to edit the movie and the girls did the voices. I had a lot of fun doing this project with my group and I feel proud that it got shown in the Remembrance Day Ceremony.
