Final pieces from FernDisney
As a whole, I think these are my best images from this exam. I believe they clearly convey the mood and atmospheres which I intended. There are two images here from my first shoot- depression. I think they connect with the exam paper because I have clearly shown that I precisely positioned my subjects, in order to portray the correct mood and atmosphere. Additionally, I believe these images show how I have used lighting as a way to convey the mood/atmosphere. When preparing for this exam, I done three different moods/ atmospheres, isolation, depression and creepy. When deciding what to do for my exam, I chose depression and creepy because I believe these were my strongest shoots and which worked the best. Some of these images were ideas that were formed in my practise shoots for example I took a similar image to number 3 in my practise shoots and decided to take it again in the exam because I thought the movement from the camera and the street lights giving the orange tone, give it the creepy and eerie atmosphere of the unknown- it is unclear what their faces look like as you cannot focus on them.
Below is an example of each image displayed I'm my slide share above, numbered in the order they are presented in the presentation.
Image 1- Depression.
This image links to my preparatory work of the photographer research because when researching I came across a photographer called "Christian Sampson" who captured a variety of different moods and atmospheres. The image on the left is an example of her work on a sufferer of Bipolar depression. Sometimes they are happy other times they are not although they are stuck in the same person- this contradicts the stereotypical view that those who suffer from depression are always sad. I wanted to capture this affect because I thought it was a really good idea and wanted to put my own twist on it. To edit this I simply took 2 images pasted them together and put the opacity on 50% so you can see both images. This also resembles my preparatory shoot of isolation because I used 3 photos and done used the same effect (this image is displayed on the left.
Image 2- Creepy.
This image links to my preparatory work because it shows elements of a photographer called Christopher McKenny. An example of his work is displayed here on the left. This is where weapon tunnelling is used to focus the image and create that atmosphere of creepy. This is when the weapon of destruction (in his case an axe. In my image 2 a knife) is the centre of focus. To create this image, I didn't want her to have a bag over her head as displayed in this example from my photographer research, I wanted to make it my own, though having the strong eye contact to form the creepiness as well as the knife. In my preparatory shoots, I placed my subject with a toy doll, having a similar effect, however when I started my exam shoot, I thought it would work better with a knife- this example is displayed on the right.
Image 3- Creepy.
This image links to my preparatory work because it resembles the work of photographer, Christian Hopkins- his work is exampled on the left. I like how this image conveys the creepy atmosphere because he is moving so irregular. Even though my image 3 doesn't resemble this entirely, it displayed how I got my inspiration for capturing the movement of someone to create a creepy atmosphere. Additionally, I shot a very similar shot on my preparatory shoots, as displayed on the right, I really liked the outcome of this image so I really wanted to use it again. The movement hasn't been enhanced or edited.
Image 4- Depression.
This image links to my preparatory work because as shown in the example on the left, the use of mist is used to convey a distance effect. This work is an example of a photographer which I research in my preparatory work called (the same photographer as shown above) Christian Hopkins. I really liked the effect this image had on creating the atmosphere of depression and the mood so I wanted to use it. My image 4, as you can tell is a bit different, I used the breath steaming up a window with my subject on the over side. I still think this shows my learning and research because it resembles the use of the mist to make it a unclear to see. I actually didn't use this effect on my preparatory shoot because originally I didn't think it was a good idea however when I tested it on my exam shoot, I really liked the outcome.
