Clone Wars

The strongest part of my visual is the locations of the clones and the different poses they have. This makes the picture unique and uses the angle of the picture to its advantage. Something that I can approve on would be setting up better lighting for the pictures used for cloning. This made the original pictures very bright and yellowish and having a better location for the pictures could have resolved this. I used the layer mask tool with the brush tool in order to get the clones to appear in the above picture on the ordered list of pictures. I used a black brush on the places where the clones would be to bring them into the next picture. I also adjusted the levels and color to get rid of the yellow tint in the combined image. The easiest part of the project was lining up the pictures because lowering the opacity of the above pictures allowed me to understand where they need to go. The most difficult part of the project was finding a location to take the pictures because I never had anyone to help. I just used a 10 second timer on my iPhone leaning on an object to take the pictures when there was no sunlight as I took the pictures at midnight, forgetting that the pictures were due the next day. I demonstrated the objective because I used 5 clones in 5 unique locations and poses by using the layer mask tool to place all clones into one picture. I would take pictures with better lighting if I could do this project again because my picture had a yellow tint but when adjusting the levels and color, the best I could do was make the picture darker when a lot of my picture has dark colors mixed together. I'd rate my effort an 8 because I could've taken more time to take better pictures, however the rest of the work was done in an easy and quick manner.
