DVD Sleeve

My dvd sleeve started with original poster. Using canvas size option in photoshop i created some space making it much wider.

After that I copied the layer with picture of the earth and pasted it on top of the back of the dvd sleeve

The next step was to add text. using text tool I added blurb on the back  and "The Last Chance" on the spine of my dvd sleeve.

The final step was to add all logos such as blu ray, 18 and widescreen logo. 

The last Chance movie poster

I started with a background downloaded from photoboats.com. a picture of earth from it's orbit. 

Then in photoshop, using gradients I created green "atmosphere" around the earth. 

After that, using eraser brush i got rid of all the sharp edges to make it look like real atmosphere. 

The next step was to add another object to the background. it was a picture of a guy in hazmat suit. 

Using colour range I made the background transparent so i could paste this guy onto main background.

Then I rescaled it and placed it in the middle of the picture

After that i had to select area of the face on the hazmat suit and get rid of it so i could paste my own face onto the picture. 

After that using blending options and selecting hardlight I added more depth to the picture. 

The next step was to add the "alien's eyes" to the upper corners of the picture. again using blending option hardlight i managed to make it look really good and rich in colours. 

The next step was to add a title. I downloaded font called jacinto sans. Using type tool I typed The Last Chance on the top of the picture and rescaled it. dragged the layer under the layer with hazmat suit guy to make it look like its behind him. Then made it yellow. 

After that, using paintbrush I painted grey and white lines on top of the helmet to make it look like it is reflecting light. 

the final step was to add textures. using pic monkey.com instead of photoshop i added violet nebula texture, then I applied solar flare on top of it and finished setting saturation higher to make it more colourful. 

The final step was to add 18 logo and bottom text

skin tutorial

Our task was to correct the picture and smooth the skin of the unknown model in Photoshop. We first got rid of any spots or freckles, then duplicated the layer and added vector mask. Then we blurred the picture with smart blur tool and with the paintbrush we brought back the parts like lips eyes eyebrows etc to its normal state so it looks more "real".

the next stew was to change the colour of the models hair. using paintbrush and changing its opacity and flow to 30% i managed to change the hair cloud from blonde to brown. then using eraser I got rid of the shadows leaving colour just on the hair.

Panorama - Last Chance Academy

The panorama documentary about Baverstock Academy shows us how a typical day in that school looks like. Apart from the mainstream education there is a separate unit made especially for the disruptive or excluded students.

It is a secondary research observational footage of how staff cope with students who have been excluded or are too disruptive to stay in the mainstream education. Camera follows them and the staff in the "Leap"- a special unit, part of the school where students have a second chance to finish their education. 

The film is an edited footage of interviews with the staff and students and pre-recorded voiceovers explaining situation and giving us additional information. (statistics and facts)

With the help of drones we can see how the facility looks like from the bird view. Also a soundtrack makes the documentary more interesting to the audience. 

The documentary introduce the audience to the "Leap" students and a female voiceover makes the audience feel the caring atmosphere that the school staff is providing.
