Photo sketchbook 1

By Jessica Hines, from the series "My brother's war"

Weird, beautiful and strange. 

It is rarely to see an image with photo in it and still looks beautiful and connected with the whole image. The photo inside the image looks like it has been taken from the same part of the image but you will know that is not part of the image if you look at the top side of the image.

At the same time it makes me think like the photo inside the image might represent the old look of that place in the image. What I mean is that may be before that place was looking that photo in the image if you think about it and try to connect the photo inside the image with the image.

This image was taken in high angle as you can see the camera is facing down to the image. I also think that the photographer was trying to connect the photo with the image by taking it from high angle position. It would have been different if the photographer would have taken it in different angle, for instance "low angle" if it was low angle then you wouldn't be able to tell that the photo is inside the image. The image wouldn't have looked the same and it would also have a different meaning.

It is such a small image with lot of details on it. I like the footage of the image because it got different details like the buildings, people riding bikes/motor bikes, cars, trees and you can also see the roads clearly as well as everything that has been taken.

E4 sting - volcano explosion - linda

The first time when I got the E4 brief I came up with different ideas which were just random. I kept writing them down the I had to choose one idea that I thought was the best one and a little bit weird. 

Then later I watched one video that was really funny. I got inspired when I watched it and I wanted to portrait something that is funny to amuse my audience. At the same time I had to use the E4 logo in the video but unfortunately I couldn't because of the technical method that I had to use. So I had to come up with another idea after all. Thats when I came up with the volcano explosion. It was not hard but it needed a little bit of technique to make it different and unique from other explosion. 

I wasn't really experienced with the whole thing about motion graphic but I tried to do it by myself and I also wanted to make my own mistake so I can be aware of what I did wrong or where should I improve to make it better and more interesting. 

I am happy with my work even though is really not what I wanted it to be but I am glad that I did it on my own and get to experience things that I have never done it before.
