Final Project in AD 267: Digital Media

My final project in Digital Media proved to be rather challenging.I was tasked with creating a small set, creatively lighting it, and inserting whatever I wanted into the photos in Photoshop. I chose to rely heavily on my set building, lighting knowledge, and photography skills, rather than my Photoshop skills, as this was one of my first experiences using this software. The photoset takes you through an ominous, black and white set. Shadows appear at confusing angles. I wanted the viewer to feel on edge and create a sense of unpredictability. I Photoshopped in the shadows of the humans and the trees. Along with this, I cleaned up many of my rough edges from my knife while building the set. It was a fun project with many different steps and difficulties, but the final images convey the ideas in my head perfectly.
