Bullying video

http://commtechgirl3912.blogspot.com/2010/01/blog-post.html

For our bullying video we decided to base it off of Snehal's poster. Snehal used the topic "Names Hurt" for her poster and we used this in our video. The target audience for our video was teen girls. We wanted to show how simple name calling can effect someone. "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me... or will they?" this saying shows how name calling can seem harmless but can really hurt someone, the bandaids in the video symbolize this. The music really sets the mood in this video and helps you understand how the girl is feeling. This video can help people realize what they are doing when they call someone a name and stop it.

Bullying Poster

When I was doing my research for this poster I found that many stories I read had a common link, the bullying had lead to some sort of eating disorder. This was such a reacurring problem that I felt it was a strong subject for my poster.

TTC Collage

The photographer I picked is Mariette Roodenburg. She is part of the Anderson Gallery in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. She plays with light and shadow to make simple photos interesting. She gets inspired by the feeling of calmness in a place or in a moment. Her photos are very diverse, from urban streets to calming waves, yet allways give you a sense of tranquility.

Collage

For my collage I used different photos to show textures. Each different texture represents a different brick on the wall. I made the pictures translucent so that they would blend in more with the background photo. Instead of using a background photo of just bricks, I decided to use one with a plant which made it more interesting and gave it more texture.

TTC Photo Essay

I chose the TTC for my photo essay because everyone uses it. It's an easy way to get around Toronto especially for teenagers that can't drive. Anyone can use it because it's affordable, more so than cab. It's also accessible at all times of the day.

Form

Form is what makes objects in photos look 3 dimensional. Shading and contrast are what create form. Form shows the curves and shape of the objects.

The first photo is a good example of form because even thought it is a black and white photo you can tell by the shading that it is a sphere. The second photo is a good example because it shows every curve in the walls and you can determine each bump.
