LECTURES
Week 9 (18/10/2021) - Digital Surrealism
Realism Versus Surrealism
Realism
Fig 1.1, Realism, source from lecture
-
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."
Surrealism
Fig 1.2, surrealism, source from lecture
Fig 1.3, surrealism, source from lecture
-
A twist on Realism. It explores the subconscious mind,
with subject matters concentrating on dream images and
often aims to distort the ordinary and what we call
reality.
-
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.
Fig 1.4, surrealism, source from lecture
-
Fueled by the teachings of Freud and the rebellious work
of Dada artists, surrealists like Salvador Dalà promoted
free association and dream imagery.
Fig 1.5, Dadaism, source from lecture
-
An anti war art movement with artworks that is
satirical and nonsensical in nature.
Salvador DalÃ
He was a Spanish Surrealist painter and printmaker known for
exploring subconscious imagery. Here are some of his artworks:

-
Surrealism is a cultural movement focused on type of
arts to express about the artist’s idea themselves.
-
In this digital era surrealism is one of the top
digital art styles.
How to start creating Surrealism artworks?
-
Dream-like scenes and symbolic images
-
Unexpected, illogical juxtapositions
-
Bizarre assemblages of ordinary objects
-
Primitive or child-like designs

Week 10 (25/10/2021) - Introduction to After Effects
What is After Effects?
- It is used for animation, visual
effects, and motion picture compositing.
- Motion graphics animation works by manipulating vector and rasterized
art to create and tell a story.

Pre-compositing in Adobe Photoshop
Fig 1.15, source from lecture
-
Basically, Photoshop is a platform to compositing the
layers.
-
All the layers need to be arranged and rename accordingly
so that it will be organized and easy to be animated
in After Effects.
Pre-compositing in Adobe After Effects
Fig 1.16, source from lecture
-
Basically, we can import elements such as images, video, vector
and more into After Effects.
-
All the layer elements need to be organized and synchronized to
the external software platforms such as Photoshop &
Illustrator.
Week 11 (1/11/2021) - Digital Photography
Exposure Setting
- In photography, exposure
is the amount of light which reaches your camera sensor or film.
Fig 1.17, source from lecture
Main parts of the camera:
Fig 1.18, source from lecture
Camera body:
-Shutter
-Image sensor
-LCD screen
Camera lens:
-Aperture/ Iris
The camera body is a light proof box.
Fig 1.19, source from lecture
There are only two camera settings that affect the
actual “luminous exposure” of an image: shutter speed
and
aperture. The third setting, camera ISO, also affects the brightness of your photos.
IRIS
Fig 1.20, source from lecture
Fig 1.21, source from lecture
- Iris/Aperture controls the flow of light entering
the lens.
- It is measured by f-stop, indicated by sequence of
f-number: f/1, f/1.4, f/2 , f/ 2.8, f/ 4, f/ 5.6, f/
8, f/ 11, f/ 16, f/22 , f/32..
(The lower the f-number, the larger the lens
opening.)
SHUTTER
Fig 1.22, source from lecture
-The shutter is a small plastic sheet that opens and
closes to allow light onto the film or prevent light
from reaching the film.
- Speed: measured in seconds (1/1000 s,1/500 s,1/250 s,1/125
s,1/60 s,1/30 s,1/15 s,1/8 s,1/4 s,1/2 s,1 s, 2 s, 3
s…)
Fig 1.23, source from lecture
Fig 1.24, source from lecture
Fig 1.25, source from lecture
ISO
Fig 1.26, source from lecture
Fig 1.27, source from lecture
- Originally referred to the sensitivity of film,
it's "light gathering" ability.
- For digital photography, ISO refers to the
sensitivity, the signal gain of the camera's
sensor.
- The common ISO camera settings are: 100, 200,
400, 640, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400….
- The lower
the number of ISO
the less sensitive your camera is to light
and the finer the grain.
Lens Perspective
- There are wide-angle lens, standard lens, and
tele lens.
Fig 1.28, source from lecture
- Appropriate lens provided desire framing, lens
choice affects angle of view.
Fig 1.29, source from lecture
- Different lenses are designed for different
purposes. Lenses can be categorized by focal length. ( The shorter the focal length, the wider the angle
of view)
Fig 1.30, source from lecture
Fig 1.31, source from lecture
- Focal length is the measurement (in millimeters)
from the optical center of a camera lens to the
camera’s sensor.
Fig 1.32, source from lecture
Depth of Field
- The proportion of the image that is reasonably sharp and in
focus.
-The smaller the aperture you use, the greater the
depth of field.
Fig 1.33, source from lecture
Fig 1.34, source from lecture
Wide-angle lenses
- Ideal for fitting a large area into your frame.
- Especially useful for landscape photography or street
photography. With wide angle lenses, almost everything is in
focus, unless your subject is very close to the lens.
Fig 1.35, source from lecture
Fig 1.36, source from lecture
Standard lenses
- It offers a fairly accurate representation of what the human eye
sees, both in terms of visual angle and perspective.
- Images created by the standard lens are perceived as more natural
than those taken with other types of camera lenses.
Fig 1.37, source from lecture
Tele lenses
- Great for isolating a subject that is far away.
- Allow you to photograph subjects from a distance thanks to their
magnification.
Fig 1.38, source from lecture
Fig 1.39, source from lecture
DSLR VS SMARTPHONE
DSLR cameras
are designed to capture images. Phones are designed to carry out a
multitude of functions.
Phone cameras are very limited by size. The size of the lens and the size of
the sensor that captures the photos. Entry-level DSLR have much
larger lenses and sensors than mobile phones do.
Week 12 (8/11/2021) - Double Exposure
What Is Double Exposure Photography?
- Refers to merging multiple images. The goal is to make them
surreal, emotional, or humorous.
- They usually feature silhouettes.
- Double exposure effect may look complicated at first. But it’s
easy to make in-camera and in Adobe Photoshop.
Using the Tilt-Shift Effect
- Blur one of your photos instead of the entire image. Or
blur everything except for one important detail.
To add this feature, go to Filter > Blur Gallery >
Tilt-Shift.
Fig 1.40, source from lecture
Create fake reflection
- Creating a double exposure with the help of a separate window
photo.
- This help to add interesting textures to a multiple exposure
photography.
This is an example of main subject surface with raindrops.
Fig 1.41, source from lecture
Experiment with simple portraits and details textured
- Combining something plain with something complicated will
give you a balanced result.
- Also save a lot of simple photos that you might discard.
Fig 1.42, source from lecture
Convert your results to Black & White
- A lack of colour will strengthen the emotions in your
double-exposure images.
- It gives them a unique depth and allows you to experiment
with something interesting just like film photography.
Fig 1.43, source from lecture
Work with silhouette
- It would give you a fun and doable challenge.
- Try silhouettes of yourself, other people, or random objects.
Anything else that catches your eye can create unique composite
images.
Fig 1.44, source from lecture
Pick two random photo
- Your results might create a story of their own, one that others
will find encouraging.
- Try and forget about any other double-exposure ideas. Shoot
interesting textures, shapes and forms instead.
Fig 1.45, source from lecture
Make simple objects look fascinating
- Take photos of everyday objects you usually take for granted. Try
to make them look like something else.
- A silhouette of a dull-looking building could become the outline
of a starry sky like the photo below.
Fig 1.46, source from lecture
Use Shadow
- Outlines of any kind are fantastic to work with for
double-exposure photography.
- Shadows are as effective as silhouettes in this genre.
Fig 1.47, source from lecture
PHOTOSHOP - Blend Modes
- Working with blend modes is almost always an experimental
process.
- You always seem to end up experimenting with different modes and
Fill Opacities until you get the results you’re looking for.
Fig 1.48, source from lecture
- A particular blending mode works really well on more difficult
subjects like glass, smoke, fire and lightning.
How to combine the smoke on top of the image of the
musicians?
Fig 1.49, source from lecture
Here’s a quick guide:
-
Select the Layer 1 (Fire) to be on top of the Background
(Musicians)
-
Go to the Blending Modes option
-
Select “Screen”
-
As a result, all of the pixels on the fire will be selected
as Screen blending mode.

Sketches
I actually have another idea earlier but in the end, I changed my whole idea, because I think that the previous idea is not working or I can't figure out how to make it better.
For the first sketch, I'm planning to place my photography in the middle and have ice creams bumping out from my head. And some summer elements we can think of summer like palm tree leaves, ice cubes and some fruits.
Fig 2.1, Sketch 1
For my second sketch, it is basically the same as sketch 1, but the difference is I wanted to merge my body into a part of the ice cream with a dripping effect.
Fig 2.2, Sketch 2
Digital poster
Fig 2.3, Digital poster
At first, I was struggling with what summer elements I should add-in, I was planning to add more elements like sunglasses and umbrellas. But after all, I think that too many elements would make it look too complicated and too colourful. So I decided to add only some palm tree leaves, a lemon which reminds me of iced lemon tea and a flamingo.
Poster animating
I'm going to animate the top part of my head opening and ice creams appearing one by one from my head. Mostly I adjusted their positions and rotations to make it more lively.
Fig 2.4, Process of animating in After Effects
And I also animated the leaves to move like they are moving because of the wind by adjusting their rotation.
Fig 2.5, Process of animating in After Effects
Fig 2.6, Process of animating in After Effects
This is the animated version without any audio:
Fig 2.7, Video of animated version without any audio
After animating in After Effects, I proceed with my process to Adobe Premiere Pro. For the audio, I wanted to look for a summer vibe song, but Justin Bieber's "Yummy" bumped out in my mind, so after I tried adding in and I think it is quite suitable with my ice cream concept, so I decided to use that as the audio.
Fig 2.8, Process of adding audio in Adobe Premiere Pro
Then, I searched on the internet for sound effects, I wanted to add a sound effect of things rubbing sound for the little friction of my head in the beginning, and a swoosh sound when my top head part fly out. After adding them, I think it turned out quite good and out of my expectation.

FEEDBACK
(Previous idea)
- Viewers does not understand the meaning of the flowers in mouth.- Colours does not match (my photograph)
REFLECTION
In the beginning, I'm not clear about my own concept and don't have lots of ideas. But after the first attempt, I started to have ideas slowly and had fun using After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro, especially the audio part. I searched a lot of audios online to find suitable audio for it, it is quite difficult for the searching part, but in the end, I like how the sound effects and the animations work well.
