Items I used and pop art step by step

These are the four iteams I took pictures of to make my project by turning them into popart  










I turned these Iteams in to pop art pieces by having 4 layers on Photoshop and turning the individual layers diffrent colours, I then deleted the over laping sections so the colours would be seen (shown below)





After that I added the cut out pictures of my selected Item's and went on to image-Adjustment-Hue/Saturation (Ctrl+U) and made the have a pop art type style.

I then draged and droped the image on to the background and Minimzed it so it fit in one of the quarters. I then changed the colour and did this 3 more times.






Finished Products.

Memory check

Q1 – Detail two reasons why we change the ISO

We change the ISO so the image doesn't blur.

With ISO it will depend on what the lighting will be like. the better the light the lower the ISO, but if the lighting is bad like in a poorly lit classroom the ISO will have to be high 

faster shutter speed so increase ISO so you can capture and image quicke if your outside  and you want to take pictures of animals for example.


Q2 – Explain the difference in depth of field between a wide and a narrow apature

A wide appeture is shallow depth of field the smaller the hole the greater the distance 

A narrow apperture is used when you want the lens to focus on the foreground on a certain iteam and blur the background. 



Q3 – List four consideration your had to take into account when producing your pop-art photography. For example, depth of field, shadows etc).

 Wires so we don't trip or break anything. 
you don't want shadows
You need it to focus on the iteam and not anything else so you'll need to put it onto manual to adjust it.
low ISO gives quality and detail in an image.


Q4. Describe when would you choose to use the ‘A’ and the ‘P’ modes on a camera

A= Apperture- Controls the depth of field. if you open the apperture it helps quicken the ISO.

P=Program.

Research.

The time period Pop art started to be popular and was part of an international Phenomenon in various cites was in the mid 1950's and onward. It was most commonly used  for posters and art to be exhibted for example the campbell soup by Andy Warhol,or the Marilyn Monroe also by Andy Warhol. Pop art was also used for comic strips in magizines and comics.
By Andy Warhol
I did pop art in secondry school where we didn't use cameras but we used a polystyrein board and etched a design/ object into it.After doing that I used a roller with paint on to to cover the entirety of the board, straight after that we put the bored on top of paper and left it there for a bit and applied pressure so thepaint would transfer and leave the page covered in paint minus the bits that would of been deeper from the board leaving them blank which left the outline of the object.

Famous artists that did pop art
Andy Warhol: an American pop artist known for his prints of consumer goods, Photogrphed disasters and celebrites.

James Rosenquist: American Pop artist who painted feature fragments of face, cars, consumer iteams and other iteams in weird juxtaposition.





      What equipment do you think you will need? (list)

The key features and constitutes of a Pop art image are the: Recognizable Imagery, Bright colors, Flat Imagery and Celebrity Images. There are diffrent types of pop art there is product advertising, and other things.
They are created using paintingsand real images.

They could be used in advertising like posters, billboard,TV, Magazines and general art for interior design.

Anything can use Pop art in there advertsing if used correctly For example campbell uses it and Lucazade is using it at the moment in some of their advertiments.

The equipment I will need is a Camera, Tripod, Seamless background, red head lambs, softbox light. 
With the lighting I will use the lights at diffrent angles to get rid of shadows and get diffrent light angles. 

Seamless background
A background which is blank and has no distinct features so when you take a picture you will mostly focus on the object.

With ISO it will depend on what the lighting will be like. the better the light the lower the ISO, but if the lighting is bad like in a poorly lit classroom the ISO will have to be high.
