THIS IS IT!
These are the pictures i have edited.
The First picture is edited by using Glowing edges tool.
I think this image looks interesting.
The Glowing edges have made it look more Dystopian and twisted.
The clouds make it look more dark and horrific.
This picture is edited by using the Radial blur tool.
I think this image has worked extremely well.
It gives the image and scenery looks like its going into a black hole.
I think that the way it twists around the model has worked around better.
This image has been edited by using the solarize tool.
I think it makes it look darker than it actually is.
Makes it look more Dystopian.
The clouds have worked really well with the tool.

28 Days Later/Survival
Animal activists invade a laboratory with the intention of releasing chimpanzees that are undergoing experimentation, infected by a virus -a virus that causes rage. The naive activists ignore the pleas of a scientist to keep the cages locked, with disastrous results. Twenty-eight days later, our protagonist, Jim, wakes up from a coma, alone, in an abandoned hospital. He begins to seek out anyone else to find London is deserted, apparently without a living soul. After finding a church, which had become inhabited by zombie like humans intent on his demise, he runs for his life. Selena and Mark rescue him from the horde and bring him up to date on the mass carnage and horror as all of London tore itself apart. This is a tale of survival and ultimately, heroics, with nice subtext about mankind's savage nature.
I LOVE this picture. The way it has been edited i think is really unique.
The Director, Danny Boyle, had to hire out the streets of london
for quite an amount of money, so they could shoot a scene, with the main charector
when he has gotten out of hospital walking around the demolished and abandoned
streets that used to be busy.
The clip of this scene is inbetween 0.56 secs & 1.10 mins.
MeTrOpOlIs.
This is taken from the film 'Metropolis'.
The film is very futuristic!
It was made in 1927, it was a science-fiction.
It is also a Silent film! Which made it very confusing!
There has a been alot of lost footage.
This Picture (above) represents Metropolis very succussfully
it is plain, square, bold and very cold image.

How i Made You Dissapear.
This is a contact sheet that i put together as a step by step of how i made the
character in the images dissappear so i can drop someone else into it.
Circuit Board.
These images are the photographs that i took to edit and manipulate and form them into towns & cities.
I took varied the angles and focus photographs of these circuit boards.
The Edits In The Making.
This Picture is taken from the film ''The Crazies''.
About the inhabitants of a small Iowa town suddenly plagued by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply.
I have used this image because i thought is showed Dystopia well,
an abandoned road with just one ''sane'' human being.
I have edited the image so it does not show the main character, so then i can drop my own characters into it.
The edited picture is below.
This image has been take from the film ''The Road''.
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones, and, when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing: just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless cannibalistic bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a rusting shopping cart of scavenged food--and each other.
It is a sad and horrific story, taken from the book ''The Road'' By Corman Mcarthy.
This film is a perfect example of Dystopia.
I advice everyone to watch it!
The Image Below is the edited version.
This Image is also taken from ''The Road''.

Santiago Calatrava.
Santiago Calatrava was born in Valencia, Spain in 1951.
Graduated from the Institute of Architecture in Valencia and from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.
He opened his own architecture and engineering office in Zurich.
His early work was in Switzerland and Spain, where he exhibited his designs and won several awards.
As both an architect and an engineer, Calatrava easily identifies with both subjects.
He often creates innovative works that depend on a firm grasp of both the creative and structural aspects of design.
His skills let him create sculptural surfaces and unusual spaces.

provide opportunities for the public to learn about the principle ideas embodied in his work; increase public awareness of the importance of architecture to society and the individual; and stimulate a demand for excellence in architecture and design.
I Love this design building. It really is so unique, and i love the way
it has modern and natural recourses bound together.

BigIssue?
I drew this while sat at Bond Square, Watching a homeless man sat in a door way next to scribblers,
he was singing ''your my sunshine only sunshine'' and it made me think its a twist of DYSTOPIA and UTOPIA, a sad homeless man singing such a happy and joyful song.

Dystopia VS Utopia
For my Metropolis brief i am going to be reconstructing the 'zombie'/'virus'
panic. I am also going to be transforming peoples faces of the public in zombie faces,
its going to be...interesting!
I am choosing to do this as i wanted my brief to be referring more to Dystopia than Utopia,
and that made me think 'what was Dystopia to me?' and that's how i got my idea of the 'end of the world', 'the dead living again'.

Repo/Metropolis
Repo! The Genetic Opera
Storyline
In the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants, for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera.
I thought that this film related to Metropolis because the film is based in the future, they have strange ways of living and everyone are surgery adicts and have to have a rare injection to save certain people. It is strange and twisted but very entertaining.
I think the film is Dystopia, more that Utopia. It is a twisted world with 'repo men' looking for villians and people roaming the street.
