Week 8; New Idea

As I was coming up with ideas for my final piece I came across these photos of "flowers in ice cream cones" and they looked so beautiful and pretty so instantly in my head I began to think of things relating to ice cream and something I could do that wasn't a direct copy of the flower idea. I thought about how ice cream normally connotes children, happiness and summer all bright things. Thus I choose to dive a bit deeper and thought of how when a child drops their ice cream it's like the end of the world for them and there's crying and a total distraught feeling. Therefore I thought about how I could correlate this to adults and have something else fall to the floor, such as time, money, love something that means so much to them that would leave them distraught if it became lost of broken. Hence I want to recreate the ice cream drop but with cones that incorporate an adult ideal or need that become lost.

 

Week 8; Idea change

I have been sitting and contemplating what to do for my final project, ive been going over and over on how to present mental illness in a such a way to not represent it badly and on very little budget and no real unattainability to use models or a set. Thus I have been doing some research and been brain-storming ideas that I believe are more reachable to my goal and still represent something that creates an impact. 

Week 6; Town Scape

This week I ventured out on my own to take photos of street view, and interesting buildings and find that arose in Brighton town, I was only able to spend a short time taking photos but was able to find some viable shots. This was quite a fun and simple task that just required looking at things in a different light.

Week 5: Elevator Pitch

This week the whole class did our elevator pitches, talking about our final ideas and what we want to achieve in the final piece. All of the class showed their ides and what photographers wee found that had an influential impact on their ideas and also how they may incorporate them into the project.

This is my plan and hopeful final idea, Im not sure if any of this will change but it may, I will see how I progress and if i become influenced by anything else.

Week 4: Jumpology

Also this week we were asked to focus on a thing called jumpology; the act of movement. We had to take photos with really quick shutter-speed but to make sure that there was enough light coming in to give the right exposure. I was the main model for this cause I was most open to jumping the highest, this was a fun activity and something different to do. Some examples;

Week 4; More Portraits

This week we focused on portraits again just to really understand what we wanted to achieve from them. Thus we went into the woods to do a shoot and see what we could achieve with different settings, these are a few of my favourite.
