LECTURE
Week 7 (15/05/23): In week 7, we were looking at week 6 and 7's lecture slides. Week 7's lecture slides is about 'Double Exposure'.

Double Exposure

Double exposure refers to merging multiple images into one. The goal is to make them surreal, emotional or humorous.

1) Using the tilt-shift effect

- You can blur one of your photos instead of the entire image.

2) Create fake reflection

- There are many ways to create fake reflections. One of the ways is creating a double exposure with the help of a separate window photo.

3) Simple portraits and detailed texture

- Combining something simple with something complicated will give you a balanced result.

4) Convert your results to black & white

- A lack of colour may strengthen the emotions in your double exposure image.
- It gives them a unique depth.

PROJECT 2A - PART 1: DOUBLE EXPOSURE

Firstly, we need to follow the tutorial given from Mr. Fauzi. Once we're done with the tutorial, we need to create our own version of 'Double Exposure'. 

This is the tutorial version I created:

At first this task was quite complicated, however, it quickly turned really fun. The tutorial is basically a silhouette. There's a portrait image and many different images to fill in the portrait.

This is my own version of Double Exposure. I used the same process as the tutorial version but I wanted to make it look different by creating a space in the middle of my face. I added pictures of birds in that space which looks really interesting to me. It didn't take long to create this but I really like it.
