· Information on existing examples of all the major sectors within the Creative industries (company websites/ profiles for example) with brief written explanations of them -Advertising and marketing - Crafts -deign; product, graphic and fashion -film, TV, radio and photography -Publishing -Music, performing and visual arts  

· The historic development of creative industries in the UK -The words ‘creative industry’s’ began be used about twenty years ago to describe a range of activities. by then the term ‘cultural industries’ was already in use to describe theatre, dance, music, film, the visual arts and the heritage sector.

· The current value of creative industries in the UK - Britain’s creative industries break the £100 billion barrier. Its value of the creative industries to the UK is up from £94.8 billion in 2016 to £101.5 billion, and has grown at nearly twice the rate of the economy since 2010

· The impact of the creative industries upon the culture of Scotland and the wider UK -The impact the creative industries is having on Scotland and the rest of the UK is that it is bringing in tourists. For example, Avengers infinity war, Harry Potter, and Outlander are an example of a few films that were filmed in Scotland. Also, fast and furious was filmed in Glasgow and London. They are only one sector that has an impact of the tourists in the UK as the creative industries has lots of different sectors which will appeal to tourists.

· An explanation of your future career direction (what sector and what you need to do to begin to break into it???) -The career direction I want to go into is advertisement, I want to do shoots for companies for them to use as ads, to do this I will need to build my portfolio. I will need to shoot images that will apply to it so that there is a link from my portfolio and the jobs I am looking for. I will also need to get my name out there, which will mean I should be active on social media and if I do shots and upload them, tag companies so that they can see the shots I am taking and make them different to stand out from other photographers. In the main time being an photographer assistant might help me see how fast I will need to be and what it will be like working for a company.

[video]Lati Domi for Lost Hairdressers

This is "[video]Lati Domi for Lost Hairdressers" by By Hwashin on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

In this video there was a few different camera angles and when the camera was on the hair dresser it was looking up at him. The woman getting her hair cut was always in focus. The camera use to track the comb up through the hair. The fact the clips weren't too long kept me watching.  

0:43 seconds  - close up with the hair getting cut  1:07 -another close up  https://vimeo.com/25056360 0:18 -it focuses on the hairdressing equipment on the bench  1:27 -goes from out of focus to focus on the model while shes getting her hair cut   1:29 -Slow zoom out  2:35 -Panning from right to the left  https://vimeo.com/45449786 With all the different angles (mostly bird eye  views and close ups) which worked well together. Also with most of the clips being short it showed a lot of detail in a short amount of time  0:08 - birds eye view  0:19 -close up 0:42  -panning

19th Century Evaluation

The thing that went well for the skin retouch that I was able to get rid of some of my models makeup and for it not to be obvious that I done it. If I was going to do this again I would try and get rid of her piercings as it wouldn't be as easy as getting rid of her makeup/any spots.

19th Century Evaluation

If I was going to do this again I would use a brighter photo as when I edited the photo it made it even darker than it was, so you cant fully see the model. I would shoot portraits with a white back drop, and I would like to try shoot buildings and use this effect on them as I think would look good with this affect.

20th Century Evaluation.

This is the image that I shot and edited to be like a photo from the 19th century. I think it worked as I think the portrait I took suits the 20th century edit that i done. If I was to do this again I would take some more portraits on location with people wearing shirts as I feel like that would work the best for this kind of edit.

This is a step by step on how I made a 20th century photo (Polaroid SX70)

- Fist of all I opened one of my portraits on Photoshop  - I opened a photo of a Polaroid frame on photoshop, and dragged it on top of the portrait.  - I used the rectangular Marquee tool and put it on the inside of the Polaroid frame and rubbed it out so I could see the portrait, then adjusted that layer to the portrait.  - Then I got an image of paper off Mycity and put it on top go them two layers.  - after I adjusted the paper to the place and size I wanted, I cropped out the rest of the image. -After that I went to channels and unchecked them all but the blue one. - Then I saved it as a JPG and a PSD

This is a step by step of how I edited my photo to look like a tintype-wet collodion photo. 

-The first thing I done was open a portrait on Photoshop CC (2017)  -Go to filter, then down to Nik Collection, and click on the first option on the drop down option. - Click on classic camera and change it to Wet Plate, and go through the different filters and pick your favourite one. -On the right handmade there is effects that you can put on top of you photo, to make it look more like a Tintype-wet collodion photo.  -Then you go to the bottom right hand side and press okay, then save that as a JPG and a PSD.

This is a step by step of how to do skin-retouch, it is a good way to get rid of makeup, or spots. 

- First you get an image and open it on photoshop.  -Then you want to duplicate the layer and re name it skin-retouch  - Select, spot healing brush tool -Now go over the bits that you want to get rid of (make the brush size bigger than the bit you want to rub out)  -Save it as a JPG and also as a PSD - Save it as PSD so then you can go back to the file and it will open the two different layers.
