Part 1: The Veritgo Shot

The goal of this project is to adjust the field of view of a subject by moving away from them while keeping them the same size in frame. This visual appearance is frequently used in movies. We achieve the effect by using a zoom lens to increase/decrease our field of view at four distances from the subject. The four images have been assembled into gifs.

Part 2: Focus on Miniatures

The goal of this project is to create a diorama effect where the subject of an image appears to be a replica on a miniature scale model. We achieve this by using a mask to apply a blurred version of an image over itself along a focus line. The mask was created by having the user select the upper and lower bounds of a depth of focus rectangle. Using a gaussian filter, the mask is blurred so it forms a gradient around the point fo focus in the image. The images are blended together using the methods from project three. A saturation filter is applied to the final image. Below, the right image is the miniature while the left is the original. Internet images first followed by Berkeley.
