PSA

Today in CyberARTS we had to make a PSA about a social issue in are community, we chose physical abuse because it happens everyday and it is rarely reported. The purpose of this video is to inform people that abuse is happening and we can stand up to it. We have provided a website and a 24 hour helpline for people who want to take action they can get more information.

Digital Surrealiam

For my digital surrealism assignment I have created a not so clear  message, the message is even if someone has a learning disability they can still do other complicated tasks. I have a personal experience because my brother has dyslexia, a learning disability where he reads words differently, when he reads a sentence the letters are all mixed up and that doesn't  stop him. He is still fully capable to do complicated tasks such as chess and robotics, which he excels  at. You can't under estimate someone with a learning disability.

With my digital surrealism assignment I have used a variety of photography's to create a creative photo bridging between realism and surrealism in a well planned photography designed on photoshop.

I have used three final photography's but I had toke over fifty to get just the right three photography's. The three photography's are the chess board, Henry and a picture of my brothers writing. In the photography I used a consisted lighting and blended the photos so they look as one.

With my surrealism I had difficulties along the way because when I was in the planning stage I had so many ideas to go with  it but then I realized I had to back to reality and some wouldn't work.My main challenge was getting the full idea across because some people won't know that the boy in the picture has a learning disability and when they look at the photography they'll see a teenager with words imprinted on his face, it won't make sense. Now I can't change my idea because I had got that far, so I came up with ideas to make the message more clear. I decided to add my brothers writing on the chess pieces to create more unity and to make more of a connection with  my message.

In photoshop I used different layers and tools to make the photo look as natural as possible but it won't look perfect. When I did this I had ideas and when I started working n it I realized It would not be possible so I tried other ideas and this is what I was able to do. My original idea was to put the blending writing on my brothers face and have him placed on the chess board as if he is a chess piece on the board.

PSA About domestic Violence

Today in CyberARTS we were told to find a PSA on a social issue and I found this video about domestic violence. When we were looking for the video we were to think about three questions: What is the main focus of the video? (i.e. the impact of prejudice, discrimination, systemic discrimination, racial slurs?).
 Describe how the video gets this point across.
 What techniques are used in the video to help convince the viewer of the point of the video. (Look at shots, music, content, text, voice, voice-over, sound fx etc.)


The main focus of the video is to show that domectic violence always is around and we can only stop it if we all try. We can't take advantage of the people in are lives and expect to get away with it.In the video it shows Kiera Knightly coming home from here acting job and getting abused by here boyfriend, but she does say one line " This isin't part of the script" and the male actor ignores her and gets violent. This almost states that domestic violence isin't part of are normal lives so why do we even have domestic violence?
It's somthing to think about. Some of the techniques that are used in the PSA to get the message across is relating the situation to a script and movie actors and actresses because some people may not like what is shown in movies but it is the directors choice. They also use close-ups of of the abused to show the reaction she is feeling with this happening to her. Last they also don't add extras and voice overs, they make the video effects simple For example simple shots, and the actors/actresses say very fews lines but they are strong, important and they make sense.
