• Plan – my plan was to take photos of mostly the graffiti work, but ended up focusing more on the models I’d chosen because I liked the final pieces they offered. I was going to take photos of the street art but then it
• Script – no real script was written it was more of having to tell them on the day what to do and go off the storyboards
• Storyboards – giving the “models” an idea of what to do, how to look, the angle of the camera
• Casting – casting was basically asking girls to model for me, which ended up being 2 girls hat were free when I organised the date and time.
• Location planning – I wanted a graffiti feel and I knew that there we streets and alley ways in Geelong so I planned a date and time for the photoshoot.
• Shooting the photographs – at first it was a little hard because they didn’t really feel like models because they’d not had this kind of experience but after a few photos they got the hang of it and they ended up producing some very clean cut images and I feel the turnout was very amazing.
• Editing & Photoshop – I am not so much into editing because I want the viewer of the photo to feel the rawness and having them as originals I feel more of a connection between the model and the photo.
• Rendering the final production – the time it has taken me to put this project together has been a bit of time but hopefully it shows throughout my work and shows that it was a fun process. I enjoyed this assignment very much to the point of taking the time to put this website together. I think this is one of my better projects so far.
• Documenting the process (who did what and how)
My part in the production:
-
organising the time, date, models and equipment.
-
Taking the photos and instructing the models what to do and where to look
-
Telling them when to switch places and then getting the angles, and fixing the hair etc.
-
Also my part was telling the models, Eryn and Annie, when we were done in one section and then where to go the next.
-
Also to tell them when we’d finished the photoshoot.
-
Also I also had a part in the modelling myself thanks to Eryn
-
This made me aware of the process, I got told what to do where to stand
Eryn’s part in the production:
-
she was a model and had a somewhat difficult job
-
She was told what to do where to stand and how to look, one of my instructions was to try and “feel like a model” – this was the difficult job part.
-
She ended up telling me what to do and she took the role of the photographer very well.
-
Eryn also took on the role of being the fixer when it came to how we looked when we were modelling.
Annie’s part in the production:
-
Annie’s part in the production was modelling
-
She got told where to stand and what to do, I also said the same to her as I said to Eryn and that was to try and “feel like a model”
-
I took better close ups of her face then I did with Eryn’s face
-
Annie was great help and was very engaging.
-
I feel like she was able to capture the cameras/audiences attention.
