REFLECTION

This week, we continued to learn the relevant knowledge of photography, which is very interesting, and I think this knowledge should also help me when I need to shoot later. At the same time, the teacher demonstrated how to recolor black and white photos using Photoshop. This week's homework was relatively difficult, and I met some difficulties in completing it, such as some small mistakes, but I quickly solved them and successfully completed the homework. I hope the teacher can give me a reasonable evaluation.


WEEK 7-WEEK 10


LECTURES

In week 7, we learned about double exposure. We were asked to follow the steps of the course to make a picture of a fixed subject and make our own version. The steps of double exposure are relatively complicated, and I encountered some difficulties in learning at the beginning, but after repeated research, I overcame the difficulties and successfully completed this assignment. We also have a second project to do, which is to make a poster of a quote of the day. The size of the poster is, there are no special requirements other than that. I picked out one of my favorite quotes and made a poster. The theme I chose is to seize the moment, so the overall color of the poster is relatively bright. I have blurred part of its content, increased the relationship between the virtual and real, and enriched the picture

Mr.Fauzi made comments on the homework we did before. Meanwhile, we had a preliminary contact with the software AE during the study of this class. At first, I thought its operating system was complicated, but after the teacher's careful explanation, I learned some skills and successfully completed my homework

In the process of completing this project, I gained a lot. Since it was about myself, it gave me a chance to re-examine myself and express myself. The steps of the operation are also very clear, clear and orderly, step by step to guide us to complete the task and make the final effect. At the same time, the teachers are also responsible for our comments and explanations. In a word, I met some difficulties in the process of completing this project, but through my own efforts and the help of my teacher, I also successfully completed it. I have a great sense of accomplishment and I am looking forward to the next study
