Evaluation Of The Carousel (Week 1)

How to process black and white film:

  1. (BEFORE STARTING) Take the canister with the film rewound back into it from out of the camera. 
  2. Take a developing tank, scissors, film canister opener and the canister of film into a dark room.
  3. (IN DARKNESS) Once in complete darkness, open the canister, get rid of the film spool and cut the end of the film. once all that has been done load the film carefully onto the spiral. Then put the central tube through the middle of the spiral and then place it into the tank. Lastly, put the funnel on top of the tank making sure that it is on correctly.
  4. (PREPARING CHEMISTRY) Using water at 20 degrees, add one part water and one part X-Tol developer: one 35mm film =  300ml of a mixed solution so (150ml X-Tol + 150ml water = 300ml) so for two 35mm films, just double the mixed solution.
  5. (DEVELOPING) Pour mixed developer into the tan and put the lid back on. start a timer once the developer is in the tank. the time should be set for around 10 minutes. Every 30 seconds tip the tank twice so that the developer can cover the whole film. Prepare 300ml of stop and fixative. 15 seconds before the timer ends, tip the developer into the waste tank.
  6. (STOP) Fill the tank with the stop, tip the tank twice and then pour this back into the stop bottle.
  7. (FIX) Fill the tank with fixative and tip the tank nonstop for 30 seconds. Then, fix for another 4 minutes and tip the tank once every 30 seconds, then pour this back into the fix bottle.
  8. (WASH) Fill the tank with water at 20 degrees and tip the tank 5 times and then empty the tank. Do the same again but tip 10 times. Do the same again but this time 20 times.
  9. (RINSE & DRY) Take the lid off the top of the tank and remove the spiral with the film in from the tank. place the spiral holding the film into the wetting agent bath for a few seconds. very carefully remove the film from the spiral and leave to hang drying in the cabinet for around 15 minutes.
  10. (SLEEVING) Once the film is dry, cut the film into strips of six frames and carefully put them into the protective sleeve.

Multiplicity In Photoshop

Multiplicity in photography is the process of taking multiple photographs of humans, objects or animals in different areas of the frame, and then combining these photographs in photoshop. Below are some good examples of multiplicity photographs. http://easthsdigitalphoto.weebly.com/what-are-we-doing-today.html http://www.positive-magazine.com/world-of-one/ https://www.ormsdirect.co.za/blog/2015/05/11/creating-action-sequences-in-photoshop/ I created my own multiplicity photograph by experimenting on photoshop, through masking in the layers palette. Firstly, I set up my camera making sure it was secure on top of a sturdy tripod so that there was no unnecessary camera movement. I then got the main subject to do a specific action in different locations in the frame for every different photograph that I took. I tried to link all the shots that I took of the subject by making them p...

Tom Manley (Digital Shoot)

For more than ten years, Tom Manley has worked in architectural firms before becoming a photographer, focusing on architecture and the built environment. Manley lives and shoots most of his photographs in Glasgow. In 2008, Manley entered the Glasgow Institute of Architects photography competition. He won the social landscape and the documentary photography category. Below is the one photograph of Manley's which inspires me the most. source: http://tommanleyphotography.com/urban-landscapes/ This photograph of Manley's inspires me the most because many people look at urban derelictions and think that they are eye sores but to me they are fascinating, wondering what was there and what it was like. This photograph relates to chaos because there are weeds and rubbish all over the place which makes it chaotic and why I really like it which is why I have decided to shoot digital with inspiration from Tom Manley.

Day 1 I was given the task to read a segment of the book, "The Cat in The Hat" by Dr. Seuss, into a microphone and then editing the audio from the microphone on Adobe Audition. I then added background music to liven up the segment of audio and to add a mood specifically for the story. I did this by following the following steps below. 1. On the file you have chosen, highlight the parts that you don't want/ need. 2. Delete the highlighted parts by clicking delete and then this part should be gone. 3. Once step 2 has been performed then you will need to begin layering the audio files. I...
