 Video editing is used to structure and present all video information, including films and television shows, video advertisements and video essays. When it comes to editing, it can be a little difficult. What is green screen ? Green screen, is a large green background used to film or photograph a subject so that a different background can be added in post-production. The process of removing the green background and adding a new one is called chroma keying.  Green screens are used in many industries, including film, television, advertising, and product photography. They are a cost-effective way to create complex visual scenes and add special effects. For example, a news presenter can appear to be standing in front of a large map by filming them in front of a green screen and then replacing the green with the map in post-production Adobe rush is the all in one video editing app for creating on the go. Adobe rush has other app that is called Adobe premiere rush pro. For this ...

  Throughout the years, digital art has emerged as a frequent topic in the talks about the modern world. Animation is a method in which figures are manipulated to appear as moving images. There are 5 types of animation. The first one is called, traditional animation. Traditional animation is referred to as cell animation, it is one of the older forms of animation. The animator draws every frame to create the animation sequence. Transitional animation consists of hand drawings called frames. In 2D animation, the animator has an option of creating rigs for the characters, and then moving the body parts individually, instead of drawing the characters over and over. The third type is 3D animation, also known as computer animation. 3D animation is the most common form of animation. 3D animations works in a complete different way than traditional animation. They both require an understanding of the same principles of movement and composition but the technical skill set is very different ...

Day Nine of my weekly blogs

  This whole week was such a learning process. I really liked creating my own photo book with some memories I have collected this year so far. I learned how ti add text on the photo book which for me at the beginning I was struggling and I got overwhelmed for a minute but once I started getting the hang of it, I really enjoyed putting in text and different types of fonts. Another thing that I learned this week was how to add graphics. Even though, I didn't really add moving graphics at all, It was still fun to see how moving graphics were created. Warping text around objects, was one of my favorite things to learn. Seeing how you can make the text go around or however you want through a photo was really interesting.  When I was doing my Photo Book I didn't really had an outline of how I wanted to decorate my photo book, I just made it from the start. Although, the app had a lot of free templets, I wanted to create mine own. Which I think for my first time creating something fr...

Day eight of my weekly blogs

 For this week blog I have to say it was a lot of work. Especially for me since I’m barely getting the hang of how everything works. I had a few struggles in the Adobe illustrator. But regardless of how much I was struggling I had a good time, playing with the shapes, editing, drawing, and etc. I learned how to create shapes at the beginning I thought it was going to be really easy but since I started doing the practice I realize it wasn’t as easy as I thought of. Along with learning how to create lines. Creating lines was actually my favorite part of everything it was more simple and easier but at the same you could do so many things with just lines. This whole app kind of reminded me of notable. I used to use notable to write down my notes but it also had features that adobe illustrator has such as drawing with pencil, editing my paths & shapes.  Overall, even though it was a hard task to do I still manage to get it done. But I also had so much fun doing it and the mos...

  Digital imaging is different from photographic imaging in many aspects. a digital image is made up of many small square picture elements or pixels. Raster vs. Vector, they’re the same graphic icon logo but they’re made in different ways. Raster is made of pixels and Vector is made of lines and shapes. Everything that has to be with a vector has an outline to any shape. With the raster, it’s just going to have the bounding box. Pixelation is just when you increase the size of something with pixels and starts to look jagged. Whenever you take something that’s made out of pixels and you shrink it down it removes some of the information when you shrink it. On the other hand, Vector graphics can be scaled to any size and they are never close to clarity. The files that work best for raster are JPG, PNG, GIF, and BMP. And the files that work for vectors are AI, PDF, EPS, and SVG.  Color depth is extremely important if you want to experience your content the way the creator intend...

 A darkroom is a room that can be made completely dark to allow the processing of light-sensitive photographic materials, including film and photographic paper. Different types of image files and formats work better in different situations. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group), is commonly used it. It is lossy which means the information you put is lost when you convert it to this format but it does a good job of maintaining the quality and the information. You can use JPEG when you need to maintain a lot of color if you’re planning to print and view online and it also requires smaller file sizes. PNG ( Portable Network Graphics) transparency makes up for large files and lack of print suitability. The pros of this system are that it supports 8 bits of transparency and it’s developed specifically for the web so it’s good for use online and it is lossless meaning you don’t lose anything. You can use a PNG when you’re after transparency, when you need to maintain quality, and when ...
