Context - Unit 6

This Unit allows you to show practical skills with the analog side of things more, as well as the digital side showing more of your software skills with editing the images or image to end up how you want it to be. A 3D or 3 dimensional image is an image that gives off the illusion of a physical presents, this means that for an image to be 3D it needs to give the illusion or effect of being a physical thing. To make sure that the image that I create has that desired effect of looking 3D, with this I will also make sure that other people feel that it has that illusion and not just me.

An example of 3D photography could be a hologram that consists of 4 images with clear plastic or glass in the shape of a pyramid, with the tip end down on a screen. The screen then reflects onto the clear plastic giving the illusion of there actually being a physical object.

Another example is taking a picture of someones head from both side, face on and from the back and then editing those images together to allow you to then place the image in a jar or clear cylinder. This then gives a slightly creepy but cool illusion of someones head being in the jar.

3D images don't have to be an analog product, they can also be digital as well, as long as they give the illusion of a physical object. An example of this is when there is multiple cameras set up in a circle around an object or even just a couple of cameras that are set up in a typically curved line, and they take a picture all at the same time and then edited together in a video or animated GIF.

 

This style is one of my favourite ways to give an image a 3D effect to it and I will be taking aspects of this to create my own 3D image.
