Can You Guess the Song?

The assignment that I did earlier in the week was entitled Guess That Song from the Guess The Song assignment worth 3 1/2 stars.   The song which I did was based on The Wire’s Intro Theme Song for Season 2.

For this particular assignment I used the opening scenes from Season 2 Episode 9 where Avon Barksdale and his crew are confronted with other potential dealers who are trying to chase them off their turf.   The first thing I did was get a screen shot of the guys who are going to challenge Avon’s crew:

I then cropped just the group of guys in the picture without any of the white  lower background…I then used another screenshot of one of Avon’s crew members ducking for cover during the gun battle and used the Lasso tool to cut out an outline of him to copy and paste over the group of guys.  I then used the opacity tool to fade him out into the background.  I wanted the picture to convey a foreshadowing of what is to come.  In addition, I wanted to emphasize the lyrics in the wire song:

“WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE GARDEN…YOU’D BETTER WATCH YO BACK!”
