We visited BBC Newcastle to have a look around and see what it's like behind the scenes,
We went into the archives and went onto the look north set.
At the end of the tour we had a go at presenting the sports news and weather.
It was a good day out.



I am going to develop uncharted backgrounds.

Examples

During this I have learned how to use new tools in Photoshop.

Here is what i have done using the same effect I used to edit my characters on Photoshop.

What I tried to do here is make this image look like the images above that are from the uncharted games, Using the same Photoshop tools that I used to make real people look like game characters.
I think that I was successful at making this jungle look like it could be an actual place in the game.

Here I used the same effects again to try and make a person look a game character.

This week I'm going to develop more pictures to look like characters from the uncharted games using Photoshop



I used the Accented edges filter on Photoshop to get this effect.



Edge Width 2

Edge Brightness 33

Smoothness 4



I'm going to take an image and make it look like a video game character.

Today we visited Star radio

They showed us around the studio and showed us what the equipment was for and how to use it. And explained how the music was chosen and who dictates when it plays.

Later they let us ask questions how to get started in the business if you are interested.

After the visit I am sure that i don't want to work in radio, because is sounds boring and stressful.
It was fun looking around the studio, finding out what all the equipment was, And interesting how it all worked.
And it was an amusing surprise to see that it was in a converted house.
All in all a day well spent.

Here I tried to make this image look like a  game character using photoshop.

For my arts award project I am going to research video game character Nathan Drake from the Uncharted franchise.

Nathan Drake is a fictional character and main protagonist of the uncharted franchise.

Naughty dog based Drakes appearance and personality on daredevil Johnny Knoxville, Actor Harrison Ford. The character is often dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.

Nathan "Nate" Drake is a treasure hunter and fortune seeker, as well as a deep-sea salvage expert, action-pro, and professional thief. Nate believes himself to be the descendant of famous English explorer Francis Drake.

Nate is voiced and motion captured by Nolan North who influenced Nathans personality by ad-libbing parts of the characters dialogue.



I am going to explore clay animation because I like how simple and easy it is to do.

This is a short stop motion animation I put together using models I created myself.

Hello my name is Owen

This is a short sci fi film about an alien and robot that we made at the pop up cinema during our induction week.

It was fun making the props,costumes and putting together the sets we were using.

And here is a video of a couple of us explaining what we did.
