Progression of the final image

I started with the original image and added the first 10 steps of 'How to create a VHS style image' to get to this point (see image below).

I then added the tracking sign.

Now that I had my base image I started experimenting. I added the multicoloured glitch and used soften to make it blend with the image. I then used distort and shear to make the image look as if it had glitched, I did this over the tracking to make it more prominent.

I then started glitching different parts of the image to see where they worked best.

I had used layer via cut when distorting the image, while I was distorting the section of the image I realised you could sightly raise the image to show the layer behind it. So I made another noise layer and placed it behind the image so it showed a line of noise running across the screen where it had been glitched. Drawing the viewers eye to the distortion.

For my final image I decided to take a slightly different approach. I had not been happy that I could not see the whole skateboard in the previous images so I moved the glitch to the right, so you could see it. But then there was an empty space so I used the clone stamp tool to duplicate parts of the glitch.

I also changed the way I distorted parts of the image, Instead of going in one directing I kept the image in the same place and just curved it so it gave the wavy effect seen in frozen VHS tapes.

I am very happy with how my final image has turned out, it has incapsulated many of my research artists and is exactly what I wanted to create.
