Shape Tween
To create these shape tweens I started with a blank stage and then added a shape or some text and put a key frame on frame 75. For the text I typed my text and then broke it apart twice on the first frame. Then I deleted my text from frame 75 and typed something else in a new location and then broke it apart twice as well. Finally, I added a shape tween between the two. For the text to shape I did the same thing for the first text and then I drew a flower on frame 75 instead of retyping something else. For the shape to shape I did the same thing but I did not have to break the shape apart. I then added a new layer to the bottom to add in the stop action script.
Leaf Mask
To create this motion mask I imported my picture and then copied and pasted it. I then dragged it out so the ends matched up and flipped it horizontally. After that I added a motion tween and dragged the background to the left until the end matched up with the edge of the stage. Next I added a new layer and typed my text onto it, changed the font and size, as well as adding a glow and drop shadow. I then added a new layer again and copied the text from the layer before and pasted it in place onto the new layer I just made. I then dragged the new layer below the background layer. finally, I added a mask to the top layer so that you would only see the leaves through the text.

Pop -Art
To make my pop art images I opened up the original image of Taylor Swift and Hedley and then I converted them both to black and white by taking the saturation all the way down. I then went to levels and changed the levels of the highlights, shadows, and midtones so that the details really stood out. I then created a new layer for the background and coloured it in grey and chose multiply as my blend mode. I created a new layer for each different area/colour that I wanted in my image and did the same thing, coloured them grey and chose multiply. After I had all of my areas coloured in grey I went to enhance > adjust colour > adjust hue and saturation. I selected colourize, brought my saturation up higher and chose a new colour for each area in my image. I then merged all of my layers by choosing 'merge visible layers' in my layers menu. Then I selected the entire image and copied the picture. Next I opened up a blank file and created it twice as wide and tall as my original image. I pasted my image onto the blank file four times and positioned them into the corners. I then went to enhance > adjust colour > adjust hue and saturation again and just changed the hue for each of the images.
Photo Creation Creature
To create my chameleon/rhino picture I first opened up the picture of the chameleon and used the quick selection tool to delete the background. I then opened up the rhino picture and used the quick selection tool to select just its head. Next I copied and pasted the rhino head onto the chameleon picture, I had to used the eraser tool to erase the chameleon head from behind the rhino head on the chameleon picture because I could see it showing through. I then selected the rhino head and went to enhance > adjust colour > adjust hue and saturation and chose colourize. I changed the rhino head colour to green, I couldn't seem to find a way to make the two textures match though.
Crack and Peel
To make these pictures I first opened up the pictures of the wood grain and Channing Tatum. I used the quick selection tool and deleted the background in the picture of Channing Tatum and pasted the wood grain right over the image of Channing Tatum. I then lowered the opacity and changed the blen mode to multiply. Next I adjusted the levels to the correct levels and then created a clipping mask and then a layers mask. I created a layers mask by adding a new levels layer, putting it between my other two layers and joining it. I then painted in black on the levels layer to let the nostrils, lips and eyes show through. I then repeated this to place the wood knot and the rust onto his face. I brought it in while on the top layer, changed it to multiply, and added a new levels layer again. I put this layer below the rust/knot and touched it up until I liked it.

Movie Poster
To create my movie poster I opened up a blank image that was the size of a regular sheet of paper (8.5 x 11 inches) and then brought in my image of the spotlight. I used the quick selection tool in the image of the girls and pasted it onto the spotlight picture. I then resized them until they looked good. I added the title, slogan, names, and release date by using the text tool. I added a bevel to the title and the release date by right clicking and editing the layer style. I also added an outer glow this way. Finally, I found images on google for the rating and the fine print at the bottom. I brought these pictures in and resized them until they fit properly.
Replacing Backgrounds
To create these pictures I first opened up the image of Susan Blue and used the quick selection tool to select just her body and none of the background. I then copied the selection and pasted her into the two other pictures that I liked, the forest and the truck. I then resized her until she looked proportionate in the images. Finally, I added a speech bubble shape with the shape tool and typed in it for the forest picture.

Motion Blur
To create this image I opened up the image in photoshop and then used the quick selection tool to select the entire car. Next I went to refine edge and adjusted smooth to about 27. After that I copied and pasted the selected car to create another layer. I then went to fliter > blur > motion blur and increased the blur all the way to 999. Then I created a levels layer three more times to increase the blur. Next I used the gradient tool on a new mask layer so that the blur was only on the back half of the car. Finally, I changed the brightness and contrast until I liked how it looked.
Rainbow Eye
To create this rainbow eye image I first opened up the picture of an eye in photoshop and added a new layer to the picture. Next I used the paintbrush and used different colours to colour sections of the eye. Then I changed the mode to overlay and changed to opacity until I liked how the eye looked.

Blog Question 2
Blog Question 2
Ethics- What is morally right and correct.
Aesthetics- What looks right and correct to the eye.
Our society seems to find it is acceptable to alter an image if you have the person's permission or if it is for entertainment purpose. People find it alright to alter an image of say a model in a magazine or a family photo if they have the permission of the person and if they are making it more aesthetically pleasing.
Our society seems to find it unacceptable to alter an image if it is in the news or for factual information. If a person is using the information to learn something or to be informed of something then it is not acceptable to alter an image because then the person who altered the image is expressing something untrue. It is also not acceptable to alter an image if you do not have permission from the subject or if you are being rude or cruel to the subject by manipulating the image.

Blog Question 1
Blog Question 1
I think that photographic evidence doesn't mean much anymore because within minutes you can change an image using a program like photoshop. It doesn't take very long for you to quickly add someone or something to an image when they weren't actually there. I think that if amateurs like us can do this quickly and easily then a professional will be able to do this extremely well and could fake evidence very easily. If I were accused of a crime I would explain how easily photos can be altered and I would request an unbiased eyewitness account of the night. I would explain my alibi as to why I wasn't actually there.
Power Clip
To create this power clip I first opened a picture of some pumpkins in photoshop, then I added a text layer and wrote 'Pumpkin' across the image and stretched it until it covered most of the image. Then I used the magic wand tool to select all of the letters holding down the shift key. Then I added an adjustment layer to create a mask. Then I added a new layer and coloured it all black and moved it to the bottom and moved the pumpkin picture to the very top and joined it to the text layer. Then using layer styles I added a bevel and an orange outer glow to my image.
