Project 4 Montage

Description: A montage of Harrison ford in Patriot Games as Jack Ryan contemplating events and people after stoping a terrorist attack in London.

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, Steps taken while designing):

The first thing I did was look through the examples on I-learn. While looking, I thought that the image with the man in glasses looked a little like Harrison Ford at first glance. From there I decided to use him as the main focus of this project.
The second thing that I did was look up Harrison Ford movies. I wanted to find a movie that wasn’t Star Wars or Indiana Jones. Patriot Games is one of my favorite movies and books, so when I saw it I decided to use it.
From there, I looked up pictures of Harrison Ford from the movie that I could use.
Upon seeing his picture, I thought that it looked like he was contemplating things. From there, I got the idea to do a montage of him contemplating people and events surrounding the terrorist attack at the beginning of the book/movie.
I then found images of the people/events that I felt best depicted major points of the movie.
I imported these pictures into Photoshop and flipped images to help give a good flow.
I placed the more important images closer to him and in the top, since this is the direction of his eyes.
I then used the paint brush and masking tools to take away the borders, and then make certain areas of the images transparent.

Message: I wanted to convey the intensity and overall motivating factors of Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan in the Patriot Games.

Audience: My audience is Harrison Ford fans, Patriot Game fans, and Tom Clancy (Author) fans

Top Thing Learned: The biggest thing that I learned is how careful color and fades need to be used. My first draft had images too dark with the “darker” background and did not print that well.

Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied: I did not adjust color, but if I were to do this project again, I would strongly consider making the darker areas a little bit brighter.

Color scheme and color names: The primary colors used are really brown/yellow, dark “grey”, and black. White was used for the text.
