Task 2 - Ideas & Planning

Part 1: Ideas

Cubism 1:

Using my elements of design knowledge that I've recalled, I can take pictures of leaves because it is the autumn season where leaves are currently golden and brown. Then make the image look 3-D from different perspectives. Possibly take images from different angles and experiment as it's an analytic cubist image. The colours will be muted and the image will have elements of line, shape and texture within them.

Futurism 1:

I can go take images of a waterfall, and use various shots from the same location to show this movement of the water. Use Photoshop to combine images making it look very futuristic.

Futurism 2:

Take images of different animals and show movement within similar shots; animals such as birds, squirrels, duck and peacocks. Then show the movement like the image in my contextual study on the woman’s movements.

Cubism 2:

Use some of the images from the animal photo shoot so that all my work has a similar theme and then manipulate the image into different perspectives for the 3D effect.

Part 2: Planning

Locations: Lister Park, near home, Poplars farm

Props/Items: Photograph nature, leaves and animal life

Lighting: mainly use natural lighting, preferably on a sunny day

Timing:  Spend around an hour or so for each idea, and need to consider travelling time

Cost: mostly free, just need a bus fare fare which is covered by a weekly pass

Risk Assessments:

Analysis

Here is one of the images from the photoshoot. I like this image because of the composition and the focusing. The brown leaf in the centre takes the role of the focal point and then the rest follows up. There is a manual focus here so there is this depth of field for the background. I like how this particular leaf is at that perspective whereas most of the other leaves are rolled up and curled.

One of the best images is this waterfall. This was taken in Lister Park under natural lighting. I set my camera to a slow shutter speed and this was the outcome. It looks like cloudy smoke and you can see all these details of the movement when the water falls from each layer of brick. I focused on the composition and got the middle framing correct with the water flowing downwards.
