Instant Alpha!

We did Instant Alpha in Room 17 on Monday 30th August.  We had to get into pairs but my group had three because we had an odd number of people in our class.  We all got 1 computer per pair/group.  Instant Alpha is a tool that you can put yourself on something.

For example you get a picture of the Eifel Tower which has to be landscape, and you might take a picture of you touching the Eifel Tower or you would do what one of my classmates did, they took a picture of themselves and made themselves taller than the Eifel Tower and she was touching the top of the Eifel Tower. Ten you need to Instant Alpha it, you will able to take off the parts which you don't want of the Eifel Tower and you can do the same thing with your picture.  You also can do it with a soccer player. You follow the same steps but if you want to just have the head and leave the body, you instant alpha the body of your picture and instant alpha the head of the soccer player picture.

Once we finished our picture we went and showed the teacher and if she said it was good, she told us to save it in the server. My picture was of me celebrating a goal for Man United. I picked a brown skined person because I am brown and it would look funny with the picture have a brown head and the rest of the body skin colour. 

It was so much fun doing instant alpha because you got to put yourself in a scene that you really like.
