Postproducing - Monday 13th March

In this seminar we looked at postproduction in further detail by using existing materials in order to make something new. We worked in small groups in order to complete this task. Our group did not really come to one clear outcome but had several different experiments that we made in this time. Most of the pieces were forms of collage of the images that we had been given cut up as shown above. After this lecture I decided to develop upon the idea of making something out of existing materials. In this instance I used some of my own photography and broke it down to then combine it with other pieces in a digital collage effect. The final outcome is shown below along with the 3 images that I used to make the piece. I used a grid to select strips of two of the images with other picture underneath them. I then deleted this to partially reveal the bottom image. However at this point I felt as if not enough of the bottom picture was revealed and it made the design quite confusing to look at, looking almost like a tartan design. Therefore I used the elliptical marque tool in order to reveal the centre section of the design.
