The Story Behind the Photo
My original image is a view of the Esplanade and the Marina Bayfront area. It was the cropped to A4 size and I used the gradient layer to colour the World War II memorial in green. I also used the gradient layer to change the colour of one of the towers in the background to red as well. I also used the brightness/contrast layer to darken the image and increased the contrast a little bit.
I took a second picture of myself with a Bernie Sanders cupboard cut-out and used the sponge tool to make my eyes totally black. I made Bernie’s eyes black as well and used one of the copyright images of laser eyes shooting out of a robot and inserted it onto Bernie’s eyes. The magnetic lasso tool was used to remove the laser eyes and attached it onto Bernie’s eyes to make it seemed that lasers are shooting out of his eyes.
Next, I used the magnetic lasso tool and took out the edited image of Bernie and I and plopped it onto the first Esplanade image.
I then took a third picture of my sister’s dog and used the magnetic lasso tool to attach the dog onto the newly edited Esplanade image. I then used the magnetic lasso tool to remove a the communist beret of Che Guevara and plopped it onto the dog to make the dog a socialist dog.
Finally, I added the text layer with the following text: “Socialism is scary, run for your lives, filthy capitalists!”

From a Legal Point of View...
Does an image really belong to you?
From a legal standpoint, the edited image does belong to me so long as I own the copyright to the image (IPSOS, 2023). When I own the copyright to the image, I can control the use and commercial exploitation of my own work (IPSOS, 2023). That also means I can prevent other people from reproducing, publishing, performing, communicating to the wider public or letting others adapting my work (IPSOS, 2023).
From an ethical standpoint, the edited image does not belong to me because I used an image of a cupboard cut-up of a famous person and the image of my sister’s pet. I am using both the images of Bernie Sanders and my sister’s dog to send a message through the edited image.
From a creative standpoint, the edited image certainly does belong to me because I am using other images and editing tools to create a whole new image. The new edited image is meant to convey a message about how Bernie’s brand of socialism is scary to capitalists and how it is being distorted by capitalists to call it communism. The dog wearing a communist beret was meant to portray how a cute little dog supports Bernie’s brand of socialism.

The Video
For the video segment, I decided to shoot a day of my cousin Kevin Wong on a trip to the “Avatar Experience” at the Marina Bay Sands.
Using the technic of the wide-shot,mid-shot,point of view and cutaways, I managed to shoot the video during the day and edited it on Premier Pro.
