Production: Main Project (Canon)

 27.2.23

During the week, I took photos of the Winter Gardens as well as Penshaw Monument using my phone's camera. I arrived at each location via my dad's car, I only had a short period of time to take my photos due to my dad's work schedule. I used wide shots for my photos and worked within the rule of third, The photo was taken from a low angle as I could include the entire monument from ground level. My idea is to use the Winter gardens Photos for my Magazine cover and use my Penshaw Monument photos for my poster. I took excess photos from different angles to have different options during the post production process. I cropped the original image so that they would match the dimensions of my poster and magazine. The image bellow of Penshaw Monument was taken from ground level and across the street and therefore lampposts and people can be seen, in order to create my posters I am planning to crop the lampposts out of the image.

I took photos of the colleges DSLR cameras in the studio, I could find a black background for the camera so I used a white/translucent background instead as it was available. I have also started to edit my photos in photoshop in order to create my poster and magazine covers.


These are other photos from the same shoot including different composition of the shots, in future projects I will take more behind the scenes photos showing the cast and equipment used as well as location and process of production. I used my equipment effectively however I will try to use more professional equipment like cameras and tripods in order to achieve higher quality images and composition, I will also take photos with varied shot types such as canted angle and mid shots.
I had planned to shoot earlier in the week, however the weather was undesirable so I had to take my photos later in the week. I tried to follow my week schedule that I had made, so that I could be organized and understand what I'm doing and at what time.

  Shots  https://youtu.be/DulNxPLSFmA This project was a video in which we used different shot types and labelled them in order to learn how we could use said shot types in future projects. For this project we used a Cannon camera, a tripod attached to a dolly and our SD cards. The first issue we encountered during production was how we used our SD cards; we had the footage for different shots on two separate cards which made uploading and sharing the footage more difficult. When it came to editing the video in Premier pro, I accidentally deleted my footage on multiple occasions and had to recreate my video multiple times. While working on this project I learned to not use multiple SD cards on a single project as well as how to edit footage in Premier pro (primarily how to use cross dissolve transitions and add text on top of footage). Western Shootout This project was to attempt to recreate a western shootout from an old western movie. We shot the footage outside using a trip...

Project Rationale (Canon)

  Canon Pitch Presentation This is a pitch for my Canon project based around the concept of a “journey” which includes a poster, magazine cover and editorial promoting Canon products. My target demographic for this project are people between the ages of 16 and 26 who have used Canon products previously and defines a “Journey” as a adventure or trip to another place. With my audience in mind I have designed a poster concept and a magazine cover promoting Canon products. Canon Canon.inc is a Japanese company located Ota, Tokyo, they specialize in optical technology such as cameras, medical devices and printers. The company was founded in 1933 by Takeshi Mitarai, Goro Yoshida, Saburo Uchida and Takeo Maeda under the name “Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory”.  In 1936 the “Kwanon” (Japan's first 35mm focal-plane-shutter camera) camera prototype was developed which they would continue to innovate on over the next 20 years. Shortly after the Kwanon’s development, the company w...

  Researching the Client Canon.inc is a Japanese company located Ota, Tokyo, they specialize in optical technology such as cameras, medical devices and printers. The company was founded in 1933 by Takeshi Mitarai, Goro Yoshida, Saburo Uchida and Takeo Maeda under the name “Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory”.  In 1936 the “Kwanon” (Japan's first 35mm focal-plane-shutter camera) camera prototype was developed which they would continue to innovate on over the next 20 years. Shortly after the Kwanon’s development, the company would be renamed to Canon. Canon became a symbol of Japanese technology during the 60’s which perpetuated the idea of Japan being more technologically advanced than other parts of the world. The original name of the company was Seikikōgaku kenkyūsho, however after the creation of the Kwanon, the company would rename to Kwanon which would be changed yet again in 1947 to Canon which is similar to a term in Buddhism.  As of 2023 the company crea...
