My Idea.

The idea of my visual culture artifact is that I will be using the power the editor has in order to change the image and create a new meaning to for it by using video editing programs. This will link into Colour Theory and Representation of Self. The images below give an example of how I will apply colour theory.

Original Image

Adding warmer tones to suggest a sunset

Adding colder tones to suggest a much colder weather

I want to be able to manipulate an image by changing the representation. I would be able to mis-represent something by cropping images and taking them out of context. Then basically just manipulating the photo into something new. Then also experiment in colour correction.

When doing this, I want to try several different video editors to help me. Attempt similar effects and explore different programs that are able to manipulate images. For example; After Effects, DaVinci & Avid Media Composer. I am aware of how to use After Effects quite well. Avid I have some experience with but still have a lot to figure out with it and then finally, DaVinci will be a brand new program for me to explore with. This will be interesting to discuss in my essay of how each one worked.
