Work Record- Shoot One

Plans and expectations

For this shoot I planned to take a variety of photos based on one persons different collections. Showing what they may have collected over the years. I will use a males possessions for this particular shoot as I have explored women's within my unit and wish to develop onto males. This will hopefully display a contrast.

Evaluations

Overall I was not happy with this particular shoot. I feel that I did produce some good images however the majority of photos which I took was of poor quality. I believe this was mainly due to my camera settings and the lighting of where I shot them. However the photos which I was pleases with clearly represents people and possessions. Within the shoot I showed how a boy developed from toys to game consoles. Showing how people possesses may change as they grow and develop.

I like how this animation has been created and I am pleased with the smooth transition from one image to another. The animation shows a feature of the item moving. I think there is one thing within this image however that effects the image, this being the chair leg in the background. At the time I was aware of it being so close however I didn't not realise how it would effect the image until I started editing. Although this unwanted feature is within the image, I am happy with the surrounding which I placed the item in. For this shoot I did not wish to shoot them within the studio. I like how the background of the image helps to show how a child would play with their toys on the floor in the middle of everything. An interpretation of the animated feature could show how it is warning people not to go near. Children leave small or large toys laying around in places where people tend to step on and hurt themselves. Considering that the gun is animated and a gun represents danger it could show how it is making people aware of a child's toy which they could trip on. The image to the left shows all my camera data and settings. I think the ISO setting should have been adjusted to closer 200.

I created this particular montage of images to represent a collection of games. I felt that an image with all the games layer out in a similar manner may be boring therefor I decided to use this technique.  By using this certain technique it changes the style of the image. The game boxes overlap showing each game twice, creating a distort look. I cannot comment on the specific camera setting for this image as it consist of different images which have have involved slightly different settings.

Progression

If I was to carry out another shoot similar to this I would place the items in a surrounding they was being used. For example, for the toys I would show a child playing with them in a back garden then a boy sitting indoors in the dark playing game consoles. Showing the change in children's behaviour and society due to technological development.
