Task 1 - Techniques
Today in Tom's lesson
we got our new brief. The assignment is called Juxtapose (Experimental
Photography). We got the first two tasks today as we had a double lesson, the
tasks were called Image and Text, Montage. During the lesson we had to go out
and take pictures for both tasks and once we had done that we had to we had to
carry out the first task which is the Image and Text task. In tom's next lesson
we carried on with the second task that we had been given, Montage. We had to
create 2 montages using the images that we had taken the previous Lesson. In
Tom's lesson we were doing Double Exposures on film paper using 5x4 cameras. We
also got another task which was Photograms. We did these experiments so that we
could find out which one we thought would be the best one for us.

Shoot
1
Shoot 1 went okay but I could have taken
more pictures and not used a wide angle lens as the changes the perspective of
the photograph and the image I am trying to lay over the top does not fit well
with the first image. In my next shoot (2) I will take more images that I did on
this shoot so that I have a better range of photographs to choose from.
Shoot 2
Shoot 2 went considerably better that shoot
1 did in my opinion as I had more time to shoot so I got a lot more images, and the images
themselves were of a better quality that the ones in shoot 1. The angle that I took
this set of images from is far better as I have a wider space to place the
images.
Shoot 3
With shoot 3 I have been limited to the
amount of graffiti that I could take photographs of as there Isn’t a lot of
graffiti in Leeds that I know of.
Task 5 - Final Images
Task 6 - Final
Evaluation
One good point about
my final images is that the graffiti looks real. This is made possible by them
been in black and white which I did using Photoshop. Another good thing about
this project is that I got all of the shoots done in the time that was allowed
to us, although I got these in time I would have liked more time so that I
could have taken more images to trial. With this project I have used the time wisely
as I have finished all of my work on time and to a satisfactory level. When I
have been out on a shoot I could have taken an extra 5 minutes to take mire
pictures of the buildings. I do not believe that I have a good enough range of
graffiti from the one shoot that I did, If I’d have had more time I could have
gone somewhere else so that I could have taken more pictures of graffiti. I
could have spent more time making trial images so that I had a better range to
use. Overall I would say that this project has gone very well for me.
