Lecture : Digital Surrealism

  • Realism Versus Surrealism
    • Surrealism defies logic. Dreams and the workings of the subconscious mind inspire surrealistic art (French for "super-realism") filled with strange images and bizarre juxtapositions.

  • Takes subject matters of the ordinary and common world which we call "reality." It almost always takes a non-exotic and non-extraordinary subject matter and theme. There is no need to think outside of the box, as that is not "real."

PART 1: Reference/ Moodboard (WEEK 9)

  • Write a summary about your idea

I have explored many compelling visuals from Pinterests and it is quite interesting to think of two distinct objects by seamlessly similar objects then using advanced Photoshop to manipulate two product together.This guide empower us to be creative and convincing on conceptualizing ideas. After doing research and seeking inspirations, I got some idea on three compositions


1.Doughnuts as Headphones:

  • Concept: This idea plays on the visual similarity between doughnuts and headphones, utilizing the circular shape of the doughnuts to mimic the ear cups of headphones.

2.Camera and Doughnut as Lenses:

  • Concept: In this concept, the camera and doughnut serve as metaphorical lenses, merging the worlds of photography and indulgence.

3.Lipstick and Knife:

  • Concept: This composition juxtaposes the elegance of lipstick with the utility of a knife, creating a visually striking and perhaps slightly contradictory image.


This concept delves into three fundamental aspects of filmmaking: Shooting Techniques, Lighting Techniques, and Editing & Post Production.

PART 3: Mock up (WEEK 10)

 

PROGRESS #1 

PROGRESS #2 

We have our shooting sessions at Design Studio #2 and with two lighting options yellow and white light.We brought our products there and took some pictures of it with our phone.This section covers a range of topics including camera angles, framing, composition.










From natural light to artificial setups, this segment is very crucial for photographing and capturing the image we diesre.










PROGRESS #3 

PROGRESS #4 

After showcasing to Mr Fauzi, he commented that composition #2 Camera and Doughnut as Lenses is more interesting and impactful image visuals.


Therefore, I have bring this composition to next step: photoshop and masking the objects.

 


Then, I adjusted the filters and added some shadow to enhance the overall harmonizing colours.
