PROCESS OF CINEMAGRAPH- SURREALISM PARALLAX

12/11/18 (Week 12)

For this week, we were briefed on our final project, Cinemagraph- Surrealism Parallax. We had to photoshop or combine several photos to make it surreal. And later on to animate some light movement of the elements in the photo.We had to use the techniques we learned in the previous classes.

I researched some surreal art paintings for ideas in Pinterest.

And I came across this painting and used it as my reference to create my surrealism photo.

Before I start creating my surrealism photo, I analyse the following layers, the background, mid-ground and foreground (subject). 

Background: the sky and the clouds

Mid-ground: the mountains, snow path, trees

Foreground: the girl holding the umbrella

After analyzing, I searched for free stock images to help me construct my surreal photo as well as my own photographs.

From the photos I gathered, I started to plan out which elements should be in the background, mid-ground and foreground from the analysis I did for my reference artwork. And I placed them and edited each image to make it into one piece. 

I added some shadowing using the brush tool to make it blend well. I even added some other elements like the ducks and a clock tower to create more surrealism.

After creating my surreal image, I have to animate some movements in the image to create a cinemagraph/ surrealism parallax. I chose to animate the movement of the clouds, the girl is jumping and add some snowing effect.
