From the feedback I’ve received by teachers, I’m doing a final time plan for a few of the ideas in which extra elaboration will be explained. As I have done three shoots so far a teacher has decided there’s only really need for three more which in this case I am certain of doing one of each Album recreation, Lyric transformation, and self interpreted Album cover but will plan others as well to achieve a larger range of final pieces for deciding what three I’ll want to display at the end of year expedition.
Self Interpreted Album Cover
I actually have imagined two ideas for this final piece neither take too much preparation and can happen in the confines of my home.
The first idea will be done throughout today 22nd and tomorrow 23rd I’ll be using a close friend as the only subject in the image facing my bedroom window looking outside while I’ll try out different angles with the camera on manual being placed on a tripod and without. I want this self interpreted cover to be as remarkably personal to my character and way of life as plausible so I will add props, objects, material things added to the frame slowly over each capture. The overall message in my album will be a depiction of how I struggle with being confined in my room almost feeling trapped, insecure and not wanting to leave but also simultaneously being left to my own creative devices such as Photography, guitar, poetry Ect. Basically slowly but surely adding items which each have affected me in terms of interest. I’ve thought about replacing the main model with myself after feeling satisfied with his pictures due to the abstract idea being based purely on the realities I have lived.
The second idea is located in either my living room or again upstairs in any of the bedrooms. The message is simply why also how music has always been my biggest eventful influence by taking photographs of a usual jamming session with my stepdad and his close friends. I shan’t be included in this image my presents is only behind the camera where I can switch between settings manual and as I’ll change to capturing images in black & white by selecting monochrome in aperture-priority auto. Models that I’ve settled on are 5 musicians all will be guitarist’s, one also being a pianist but shall be searching for other instruments in my house as I figure more the better.
Lyric Transformation – Tango till they’re sore
This is a mental picture where I take lyrics from a favourite suggested song, translating it into what I have interpreted and depicting the message that the artist is trying to reveal. My parents will be the models as they fit the description suitably, located inside my leaving room martin (stepdad) is sat on the counter near an open window giving off an impression he’s falling out backward with confetti in his hair. Meanwhile, my mum is close laughing at him or helping him in other takes I’ll remember about considering different strategies of composition but general emotions within both subjects are meant to be a happy silly drunk celebration when also showing the type love for one another. Alcoholic drinks and empty bottles are included amidst the scenery
