Entry 4
Feedback from critique:
I was partnered up with Will to give each other feedback on our latest work.
Will asked me about my technique.  I used no real technique to speak of with the developing of the shots, apart form the fact that they were portraits of casual moments.
He also asked about my use of emotions, and advised me to express more powerful emotions and also get out and about to try something different with my model.
This advice was very helpful with my future photos.

Entry 3
This week I've taken pictures of Tegan and Gemma.  I took Tegan's photos in black and white.  This gave a beautiful tonal effect to the pictures.  Some were way too dark, but I fixed this on Photoshop
Gemma's I took in colour.  I'm gonna be honest, I really feel like these ones were quite crappy.  I mean, the lighting and composition was good.  But I wasnt getting her to pose how mush I wanted her too.

My Journal

Entry 2 pt 2
Today I have to also talk of something that visually made me thing twice.  I spoke to a friend about a car 'accident' that happened the other day after looking at the wheel marks in the grass verge by the road and the broken fence.  The fact that the driver deliberately and repeatedly ran the man into the fence in rage and another driver drove in the way was very amusing for my friend.  My shock at her reaction amused us both.  I found a funnier (as well as sadistic) side to my friend that I had not seen before.

Entry 2 pt 1
Today we played a game about how we need all things to make a whole.  We had 3 strands of paper.  One we wrote on our project.  The second had our ideas.  And the third was our process' of making.  We understood that if one strand wads missing, the project wouldn't be whole.  Mine looked like a spangly tripod as appose to an origami.

My Journal

Entry 1:
For our project to begin with we have to write a proposal, as well as fill in a brief with our personal project details e.g.: the subject you are doing and what it means.  For this I have to fill a paragraph in the section left.  I will take portraits and maybe landscapes and night time shots.  The portraits are to show the personality and traits of the individual I am taking, as well as movement and light.  I will use digital, film, color and black and white.  I will also put pictures together with photoshop.

Animation

Trying to make and upload this was difficult to begin with.  But once i was shown how it was easy.  I really enjoyed finding out how to make the animation and putting it all together.  These pictures consist of myself and Hannah.  Most have nothing to do with one another but the last few of myself are showing the movement of my head.  I could have maybe put these in a better order but I am happy with the end product.  Deffinately a good start.
