WEEK 5 LECTURE (22/10/24)

1. Double Exposure
Double exposure is merging multiple images such as featuring silhouette. You don't need a double exposure camera to do so, you can do it in Photoshop. 

- Using tilt-shift effect
    This is a soft artwork where you merge picture and blur one of them.

WEEK 5 Practical (23/10/24)
We are to edit our own picture to replace shazam in this mansion. First, select our picture, quick select and place it in the mansion. Second, match our picture colour with the mansion. Third draw shadow with brush and use gaussian blur effect to make it realistic. Lastly, make the reflection in the water and give it gaussian blur effect too.

Fig. 2.1 Example

Before proceeding to my own picture, I prractice using shazam first.

I later on do the exercise with my picture and edit it into the mansion.
