Royalty Free Music

Royalty Free Music

Royalty Free Music is a type of music licensing that allows the purchaser to pay for the music license only once and to use the music for as long as desired. For example you purchase a Royalty Free Music license for a video on your website. Royalty music is sometimes known as Stock Music.

Royalty-Free Music fills multiple needs of cost savings. Best of all you are helping ensure that the composers, musicians, and conductors are fairly compensated for their work--without risking the back-end unknowns of ongoing royalties. 

Final Evaluation

Final Evaluation


My final out come worked better than I thought it would have of, although I think it'd have worked even better if I'd have laid some of the objects out different and retaken the pictures that was blurry, to make the show reel work a lot better. 


My pictures for my final piece was all taken inside my house, the lighting used for these pictures where all artificial lighting, I think that I should have used a mixture of both artificial and natural because I think the different lightings in the show reel would have made it look like it was going on throughout the day and not just all at the same time.

If I was going to re-shoot my pictures, I would make sure that I used both artificial and natural lighting, also make sure none of my pictures are blurred, therefore it would look better and less rushed, so I'd take more time on taking pictures and then go through them all to see where or not the pictures are blurred or if I could take it from a different angle.

Contract Sheets for final piece

 Some of these pictures work well but some others are blurred.
I feel like these pictures will have been better if I'd have set them out better and put laid the objects out better.

Task 1a

Task 1aPrimary Research (practical)

For this task I was asked to photograph both inside and outside pictures of Documentary, Travel, Fashion, Industrial, Historical and Art.
This are what I came back with.



This picture was taken at the back of Starbucks on Centenary Square, Bradford, must commonly known as City Park, I photographed a wall with graphite on it. I feel that this picture would have been better if I'd have zoomed in so that there was no building thing in the view and the back of the car couldn't be seen.






This picture was taken in the same place as the previous picture, although this picture I captured is out of focus and needed re-shooting.
Therefore I feel that because this image is out of focus it lets the image down and is a pointless picture.


This picture is the re-shoot of the image above it, of this picture I think I used natural lighting. 
The main focus of this image is on the octopus, I also think that if the doors were closed where the Marilyn Monroe, painting is then that would improve the quality of the picture.







This picture shows both historical and industrial photography, it was taken using natural lighting. Whereas the city hall is classed as historical, the work that's getting done on it is classed industrial. 
This picture would look better if it didn't have the crossing point and the bin.
Therefore if this picture was going to get taken again, I would either stand closer to the object or I would have zoomed in.



This image was taken outside phones 4 u, near the Primark entrance, this picture would have been better if I'd have taken it from a different angle, so that you could see more of the shops.









This picture was taken on the underground tunnels from near the Alhambra/ Media Museum that goes near Centenary Square, I think if I was going to take the pictures again, I would take a few and take them from different angles, so that I could see which angle the picture worked best from.




This picture was taken in the same place as the previous picture, I don't really like this picture because I feel like its too light and the contrast doesn't really work as well in this picture as it does in some of the other pictures.
So if I was going to re-shoot this picture, I would photograph it from loads of different angles.



This picture Historical and Industrial location photography, this photo is of the old Odeon that's getting done up and has construction in it.
If I was going to retake this picture again, I'd zoom in to get more of the main object, other that surroundings that are near the Odean.





This picture shows 2 forms of travelling one is for people who are able to get around without needing help and the other form of transport is showing transport for wheelchair users.
If I was going to take this picture again, I would take it closer to the stairs and the lift, so that it would give a clearer picture of what's getting photographed.

Diptych Analysing


Diptych Analysing



The location I chose was in the old building at Bradford college, the monkey fits into this set as it can travel around. I could have chosen a different location to make it look more effective as I could have taken a picture of a tree, as monkeys travel about swinging on trees, although these images fit in to the set because there both set on the stairs and both show transport. Although the pictures are nearly the same they both show something people use in everyday life.
The lighting could be better as I could have taken a picture of some stairs outside and used natural lighting instead to make it look more effective instead of artificial lighting. Both of my pictures are in focus as you can see both pictures clearly. The lighting in both of these pictures are different because on is by a window and using some natural and some artificial light and the other picture with the pipe cleaner monkey is using some artificial light and also used the flash.



This picture was located in Bradford one was near the Media Museum and the other picture was inside the old building at Bradford College, both of these picture show a form of transport, as one shows cars moving and the other one shows stairs and transport of a person in a wheelchair to get up stairs, therefore they both fit in with the set but show different forms of transport. The cars show transport as getting to places quicker and getting from say home to work and the indoor picture shows transport of how people who need technical equipment to get up the stairs manage to get places. 
The lighting in the car picture is natural light therefore it's good lighting and the lighting showing the wheelchair lift is similar lighting but just using artificial lighting. The picture of the cars has really vibrant colours and they stand out, where as on the wheelchair lift it looks really bright and the contrast needs lowering so that the top of the door isn't looking as if the light it beaming thought the glass.


This pictures was both located in Bradford college in the old building, both of these pictures are a form of industrial and fit into the set of industrial, although these pictures was taken on different days, they still fit into the setting.
The lighting in these pictures are lighter then one an other, where as the picture without the monkey on it dull and possibly needs to be shot outside and the lighting on the picture with the monkey, the lighting has good contrast and lighting, although both of these pictures where taken in the same place, because they was taken on different days, the lighting is slightly different, so that if these pictures was going to work then, both pictures would have to be done on the same day, so that the lighting on both picture was the same or at least close.

Diptych 2


Diptych

All of these Diptych's are linked to each other in some way or an other, although some are zoomed in there still in the same place and relate to each other.



The pictures on this diptych was taken in the same place, although on one its zoomed in more to see the object it was taken on the undergrounds tunnels, I think this diptych would have worked better if on the first picture on this diptych was darker and the contrast would have better or if the flash wasn't on.


These picture were taken near the stairs in the old building, when the west brook building was getting knocked down. I think this picture would have been better if, I'd have taken it outside other than through a window so next time, I would go outside and take the picture other than, staying inside and taking the picture through the window.


The pictures for this diptych was taken in the Old Building near the lounge. One picture was taken with natural lighting and one was with artificial lighting. I feel like this diptych would have worked better if both pictures was using the same lighting.
If I was going to take this picture again, I'd make sure that my pictures looked a lot better and fitted in more with the surroundings. 


These pictures was taken by the lift in the old building, it shows a form of transport/ travelling where as in the first picture, it shows both forms of transport and the other picture shows the monkey using the lift and then someone else using the stairs, so I feel like this diptych works well because it showing both forms of travelling/ transport, although I think the lighting is letting it down, whereas on the first picture is light and then on the other picture its darker and I think that its letting the diptych down a bit.

Diptych


Diptych




I took a picture of a from of transport outside and inside.

Then I created a diptych, a diptych is any objects with two flat plates attached to an hinge.
 In particular the standard notebook and school exercise book of the ancient world was the diptych consisting of a pair of such plates that were wax tablets, with on their inside faces a recessed space filled with wax. This took writing made with a pointed stylus. When the notes were no longer needed the wax could be slightly heated and then smoothed to allow reuse. Ordinary versions had wooden frames, but luxury ones were made in more expensive materials. 
The first known use of using a Diptych was in 1622.
