To create this cartoon image of myself known as an Opie I used the programme Photoshop.

I uploaded a picture of myself.



I then used a lasso tool to draw around my hair and start filling it in.



Then I added the highlights to my hair as I saw fit.



I then lassoed my face and filled this in.



Then I added my features by lassoing around them and filling in and adding them as a higher layer so they would be visible on my face.



Next was my neck and chest. Once again using the lasso tool I went around my neck and chest and filled it in at a slightly different shade from my face.



Finishing off the rest of my body work I filled in my t-shirt and my arms by lassoing and filling them.



Lastly I created a background by adding a new layer and filling the background in giving it a higher priority than the original photo.

Final Cut Tutorial

Final cut is an advanced media production programme, creating more accurate and higher developed film projects than with I-movie. Being a more advanced programme you need to learn how to correctly use the programme from scratch because it is not the same as with I-movie.
We started by learning how to import files and place them into the timeline for both the video and audio files. We used pre-recorded dance video's and music clips of people in animal costumes.
We needed to learn to cut the files as it is different to cutting media in I-movie. It is done through the use of a razor tool or use viewer and select in and out points.
After finding this out we began editing. Throughout the clip there were purposeful parts where the clip was black, there for you to practice your cutting techniques.
To make things more difficult myself I took two videos and have cut them together to create a longer video clip.
