On Sunday, May 16th, 2015, the Buckeye Photography club endeavored on an intense photographic extravaganza. The club had a very full day planned, from travelling to Tower City to the West Side Market. When the club exited the rapid station of the Market they were greeted by a very large, shiny ball made of wood and its smaller companion. Their reaction, obviously, was to touch the large, waxy structure and to try to find out what is was. On a plaque near the base of the large, dark ball was a small description; the ball was a time capsule, set to be opened in 2050. It was now evident that their next plan of action should be to take a picture with the giant ball. It was also evident that the only way that one can take a picture with a giant …show more content…
ball is by pretending to push the giant ball. Samantha Ponomarenko set her camera on a timer and put it onto the smaller, apparently purposeless ball. The picture went fine; although, the group was afraid when the ball actually moved. The picture is taken at an unusual angle that highlights our weird group. This image of the Buckeye photography club pretending to push a time capsule suggests that they are a fun group by giving a strange perspective of the strange things the club does and by using color to show the group as a whole. Firstly, the picture is taken at a different perspective, rather than just being a usual straightforward image, the picture is taken from the low level of the little wooden ball, making the picture more fun, like the community in the image.
The large ball is made to be the main thing one notices in the image without even being in the middle. The placement of the camera puts the time capsule on the right of the picture in the background, yet it is still a main focus of the picture. The giant, waxy ball is obviously the most different and attention-getting part of our image, even though it was not the intended subject of the photograph. Secondly, the group, the subjects of the picture, are shown as small and separated. Oftentimes, when a photograph is of a group of people, the photographer tries to make sure that the people are equally spaced throughout the photograph and centered. This arrangement helps to highlight each member of a group and to give them equal amounts of attention. This picture’s complete lack of proportionality expresses the togetherness of the group. Overall, in the picture it is difficult to differentiate between the different people. This shows that the picture is more about the group as a whole rather than the individuals who belong to …show more content…
it. Secondly, the picture has an overall cast of darker colors.
Even though, the sky and grass are bright, the subjects are all mostly in muted colors. Another muted color shown is the time capsule itself. Although dark colors normally connote sadness that is not really the effect of these colors in the photograph. These colors are similar to the rest of the architecture of the Market Square. Overall, that area has a very dark and industrial aesthetic, yet it is still a very fun and busy place. That is similar to the representation of the club in the picture. Only one member is not wearing orange and that is Kyle. This could suggest that he is not really a part of the group and that no one likes him. Kyle’s placement also sets him apart from the rest of the group. The majority of the group is to the left of the image, yet Kyle is in the middle at the very forefront. Although the image is set up in a way as to show the group and not individuals, Kyle has put himself in a position where he is separate from the group as a whole. Overall, the colors express that the group is together and having fun, except for
Kyle. In conclusion, the perspective and color of the image represent the happy attitudes of the group and how they are represented together. First, the perspective of the photograph shows that the picture is less about the individuals and more about what the group is doing. Secondly, the color shows the unity in the group and what parts of the group do not completely coincide. Overall, one can actually learn interesting
It also represented that this a new day and the world will rebuild. This picture promises that we will stand together and build from the bottom. The location of this image plays the major role on the overall message. The deeper meaning is clear once looking a little
Colour is a film technique displayed in The Breakfast Club. In the film, the characters all have nicknames based on their personality. The criminal, the basket case, the athlete, the princess and the brain. The colour of clothing that these characters each wear in the film reflects their role. The criminal dressed in denim, red plaid, black gloves and sunglasses, the basket case in all black, the athlete in blue from head to toe, the brain in green, and the princess in pink. When you envision these types of people, these are the colours you would associate with them. Cinematographer, Thomas Del Ruth, also uses a specific colour palette throughout the film. The colours range from light blues and greys, to dark maroons and beiges. The general spectrum consists of mainly blues,
This enables the star and figures to stand out as well. Another interesting aspect related to the colors, is that the grey-blue color also is broken up by the pink color of the slaves shackles. This is clear that the artist wanted us to see the shackles and be especially aware of the fact that the figures are captive. The standing man looking toward the sky is also standing on a patch of ground that is also the same pink color, allowing the audience to know that he is the key focus of the piece. This enables the eye to be draw directly to this figure upon seeing the piece (Lazzari and Schlesier
These two colors draw the viewer’s eye to look directly at words first then to the picture located in the middle. The text says, “When you ride ALONE , you ride with Hitler,” is highlighted in black. The color black represent power and control and that also emphasizes who Hitler was.The text located on the bottom of the page, “Join a car-sharing club today,” is highlighted yellow and that colors represent positivity and energy. Also, the color of the text is a mirror image of the problem and solution. “When you ride ALONE, you ride with Hitler” highlights the problem the United States is trying avoid. “Join a car-sharing club today” is the solution to how the United States can stop their
2. There are 18 people in the foreground of the image and an uncountable number in the background. Jesus and Peter both have halos indicating their divine status, while Judas doesn’t. The people have a sort of bulky feel to them as well as very vibrant colored clothes. The contrast of
The girl in the picture has face full of distress and eyes filled with fear. She represents the struggles of every Afghani refugee. It’s an astonishing photo in itself. There is so much emotion in the guarded, scared face within a static sphere. The colors are amazing, from the striking, dirty red of the scarf, to the green background that seems several shades darker than her eyes, creating a sort of illusion. It is visually ...
Throughout the scene it goes from night time to day time, which is represented through the window. The lighting perceived through the window indicates that Oscars’ family and friends waited in the hospital from that night to the next morning to find out if he would pull through from tragic incident. Lighting plays a major role on the effect a scene can have on its viewers. For instance, bright lighting would represent happiness within character. In this case, for this scene, the lighting is very dim causing a gloomy, drowsy saddening effect. Soft lighting also plays a role in this scene to contribute to that effect because its focus is only one thing, whomever the main emotion is coming
Using this few colors makes the viewer focus and not get lost on a lot of distractions. The blue sky is the same color as the Skyy Vodka bottle. I believe this is by design to have you drawn to the product. The white makes the viewer think of purity, bliss and success. It makes things look clean and bright which makes people feel good when they are looking at it. The brown/black of the women’s limbs and the man’s suit make the viewer think of dark, luxurious and warm images. Finally, the pop of yellow brings a cheery accent to the whole scene.
The color is this painting ranged from brown, blue, black, white, light brown, gray, red, and dark green are used in the painting. These colors brought out the meaning of this photo, and many of the colors were cool. With the color being true to life, it had curved, straight, vertical, diagonal, and horizontal line throughout the painting, making it feel like it was an actual scene. The color and the lines create certain shapes; these shapes were shapes of a room and a meeting during the painting. Some of the shapes, like the people, are included many different time but with a couple of changes. When one would first look, their eyes would go straight to the man standing up and talking in the middle of the painting. This person leads one to the left of the painting because it seems that he is talking to someone over there. With all these characteristics, this painting makes one feel like he or she is standing up and talking. Also, it gives an embarrassed feeling like one is in front and talking to a
The cigarette symbolises the bad dictions that the older generation made and how the younger generation have observed that and copied. The child on the stilts shows how the children still want to have fun but they also want to be adults. (He also wants to be taller like the adults.).The symbols are connected to the theme which is; the older generation affects the younger. Even by the way that the two girls are standing in the foreground of the photo resembles the way that adults would stand and act. This photographers point is to do more than just bring awareness to the issue of the older generation influencing the younger generation. It wants to provoke views to be better role models. That is the message in this photograph; to influence people to act in a way that they would be proud to see the younger generation action
At the beginning of the year, I stated that I would make a "jigsaw collage puzzle, with all the photos making a 21st century camera." When I started making my project at the end of the year, I realized that that project would not show that I learned anything about photography. I changed my project because if I did make it, it would be hard to write about and I wouldn't be stating solid facts in my writing. So I changed my project to a poster with photographs I developed myself, the homemade camera I used to take those very photographs, and pictures and QR codes about developing, taking and converting paper negatives. The project also had two QR code for the evaluation and bibliography. As I stated at the beginning
The construction of the low seat and tapering back makes the chair look almost abstract because of these bizarre proportions. In the photograph it looks as if the picture has been taken from a strange angle which has distorted the shape.
The boy and the man, presumably his father, in the center of the painting wear stereotypical American clothes for the period. The boy’s blue long sleeve shirt and khaki shorts could represent any America boy in the Forties due to their common nature. His father wears a grey jacket with white buttons down the front and on the pockets. His light grey pants fit with the current style and black shoes peak out from beneath them. For his hair, the father’s slicked back style meets the expectations that fashion in the forties has set. An older man stands behind the boy and father, looking into the main room from the pink back room. The old man dresses in dark grey pants similar to those of both other man within the scene. His white shirt has rolled sleeves and he appears without a jacket, unlike the rest of the men in the painting. Instead of loafers, he seems to be wearing tennis shoes that look similar to converse. While the older man does stand apart from the others in the painting, divided by style and room, he stills fits into the customary style of the forties within a different class structure. He seems to be of a lower status than the other people based on his clothing, but he still belongs within the context of the scene and does not feel out of place. Instead of representing the all-American middle and upper class, the older man represents a lower class that still fits into the painting of an idealized American scene. Finally the woman on the far left wears a yellow and blue plaid dress with matching blue shoes and a dark handbag. Her brown hair matches in style to the woman on the right, typical for the time period. Her knee length dress fits with the fashion of the time with a seemingly cinched waist due to the draping of the fabric and the high neckline conform to American style in the era. Each person within the scene dresses
For 19 years, this photo of myself as a child posing with my grandmother has sat on my shelf. Growing up, my grandmother was an integral part of my life. For a majority of my life, she lived in an apartment above our garage. Without a doubt, I spent more of my childhood with her than anyone else. She was a role model and above all else a close friend. I do not remember this photo being taken, nor do I remember where I was when this photo was taken, but the contingency of photography forces me to recognize that the referent of this photograph truly occurred. Immediately, this photo speaks to the strong relationship between me and my grandmother, which in this case is the photographs studium. Anyone glancing at this photograph
This picture, probably the only one in existence of all my friends together, has more meaning than it seems. At first, it appears to be nothing more than a happy congregation of teenagers, all from the ages of fifteen to sixteen. In the background you can see a fence enclosing a sand volleyball court. My friends that are kneeling on the bottom row are Shawn (who is affectionately known as Goose because of his long neck and his last name being Gosselin) and Paul. The ones on the top row are, from left to right, Brad, Matt, Kayla, Charlie, Jenny, Greg, Brent, and Daniel. I am at the far right side. You can tell by the expressions on some of their faces, especially Paul's, that they weren't quite ready for the picture to be taken, for more reasons than one. First, there was someone else taking a picture at the same time. Also, most of them never could have guessed that the picture would have to be taken in the first place. After all, I was supposed to be with them forever, right? Wrong. This was my going-away party.
