FanFic Assignment: FacFic Picture

This is a fanfiction assignment which you “take the name or title of your favorite band, song, movie, or tv show and display it in the form of photography”. The image you create needs to somehow capture your theme.

My all-time favorite band is Kamelot when they were with their former singer Roy Khan. Many of my favorite bands come from either the ’70 or the ’80s like Rainbow (with Dio or Graham Bonnet,), Show-Ya, and Iron Maiden. Anyway, Kamelot is an awesome power metal band I recommend to people. Their music is theatrical and not too loud for non-heavy metal listeners.

I chose the title track from the Ghost Opera album (released in 2007) for this assignment. To fully understand what is happening in the picture, you would want to watch the video for the song. Check the lyrics as well, to get the feel of it.

As I imagined, the creative process demanded working with paths and cutting. Everything was done using Gimp. Through the process, I came up with a bit of new ideas that altered my initial intentions such as adding a glow of light, filtering the background with a newspaper-ish effect, and so on.

I have a fond memory of Ghost Opera from back when I was in high school. I knew the band existed, but I didn’t really discover them until I actually listen to the song “Ghost Opera”. The album was also the very first Kamelot records I bought. Soon after the purchase, I had to listen to them more. Another thing that I remember about it is that me and my ex got to know each other by me lending the album to him. Isn’t it kind of peculiar that a heavy metal record can draw people together?

For this section I decided to do a Fanfic Assignment because it was new to me. I chose this assignment because other students in my class did this as well and thought it would be a great chance for me to use GIMP.

The Directions read:

Take the name or title of your favorite band, song, movie, or tv show and display it in the form of photography. You can take as many pictures as you want, but have your photos capture the band, song, movie, or tv show you pick. Be creative and have fun!

I chose the film Big Fish for my photograph because it had great photography and it was also my favorite film!!

Process: First off I decided to look for pictures I can use to use in my collage. I searched on flickr typing in Big Fish, Ewan McGregor, Tim Burton ect… However, I couldn’t find all the photos I wanted to use, I went to google images to find some others. These are the photos I chose…

Then, I opened each picture onto GIMP one by one to cut out the faces of the characters. I embeded the photos onto the picture with the tree and used the smudge tool to erase the tree on the side. Then I tried to give it that sense of magic with the paint tool and splattered yellow sparks in the background. This is how it turned out.

I put the director of the film (Tim Burton) in the front to show that what is behind him is his story and imagination. I tried to blend the characters in the background to let it look like it was part of his imagination. Also, I did not just put a picture of a gigantic fish for my picture because I thought that would be boring and too direct. Instead, i used the key characters which I favored the most to represent this film, Big Fish.

Hey guys :) Here’s my first ds106 assignment for this section :)

Since I always stick to Visual Assignments, I tried to do an assignment from a different category this time around :D I decided to do a Fanfic Assignment called Fan Fiction Picture :) I’ve always been wondering if I should do this one but since I wasn’t really familiar with GIMP, I avoided the assignment. However, since I had so much time today after class, I decided to give it a try :)

The Assignment:

The directions for this assignment was to:

Take the name or title of your favorite band, song, movie, or tv show and display it in the form of photography. You can take as many pictures as you want, but have your photos capture the band, song, movie, or tv show you pick. Be creative and have fun!

 I won’t tell you which band and which song I chose until I talk in “The Story” section so try and guss, and tell me if you got it write by commenting on this post for me!! :D

The Process:

For this assignment, I tried to use GIMP. Since it was my first time using this application, I had a hard time making the final image. However, with the help of Keiko, I was able to finish the assignmnet.

So I first chose a grafiti picture off of flickr.

This picture is by Jaume Meneses. I chose this one because it showed the same kind of emotion that I got from the song’s music video.

Then, I went ahaid and chose 2 images of the artist.

and

Then, I cropped out the images from its original picture by using the “Free Select Tool” on GIMP. (I’m not going to lie, this was SO HARD to do…!! D: )

Then I opened the grafiti picture and pasted the two images on it. After that, I went to picnik and put the “Boost” effect on my image. Here’s the finished image!! :D

The Story:

By using GIMP, I have to admit, it made my life so much harder…I wanted to just stop and print the 3 images out, cut and paste, and scan it so I it was easier. However, since my friend helped me, it actually turned out to be fun. Also I was happy I was finally able to use GIMP for my assignment :)

So to the song. I think it’s pretty obvious now that the artist I chose was my favorite, 2NE1. And the song is called UGLY. (You can see the video clip here.)

The song was  kind of hard to chose. I had so many choices to chose from. The reason why I chose this particular song is because I sang it at a live, because I liked the song, and because it was easy to show in a picture.
