Work Record shoot 5

Planning-

I plan to do a studio shoot today therefore I need to book the studio. I then need to set up the studio and make sure my model is available to use- (lydia). I will not need any props for this shoot so it's fine.

What I hope to achieve: 

I hope to put a spin on to my makeup advertisement pictures I did last lesson but capture contrasting versions where the makeup is not 'flawless' and not the type of picture you would expect to see advertising makeup.  I will then add the typical text seen on adverts to make the contrast.

What I actually achieved: 

These are the photos I achieved from this shoot, it did not go completely how I hoped. I think I could have emphasised the point that the photos are meant to be the opposite to the typical photos you would see on advertisements. I do like the lettering I used on the second example of my work as I think it is the correct type of text and layout for a makeup advertisement. 

What I plan to do next:
I feel like I have taken this idea as far as it will go so I will go back to my mindmap and work on a completely different idea I have and work to develop this.

slow sync- technique page

Slow sync is when the camera has a longer shutter speed as well as firing the flash.
I did this in the studio so you have to do it against a black ground.
Use the red head as the constant light  but have polystyrene boards blocking any light falling on the background.
exposure reading for that light, then add in the flash for that apiture and use rear curtain sync so the flash goes off at the end.

work diary- slow sync

     Today I shot slow sync in the studio, slow sync enabled me to capture movement slightly cleared than if I was just doing blurring. To achieve this I had to reduce the shutter speed and set up for the flash to be fired when the picture was about to be taken. The most difficult thing about this shoot was ensuring that the light did not hit the black background and make sure the model is standing in the light (redhead) I think this technique could fit in to my personal project if I was to take some action shoots like bmx riding/skateboarding to promote an energy drink as the technique would suit the picture. 

Here are two examples of the shots I achieved from the shoot, I think they show the technique of slow sync rather well as it is evident that they are similar to blurr but slightly more sharper which is primarily the point the of the technique. I think the second photo is the stronger one out of the two as the movement is blurred next to a clear sharper picture of the model. 

work record shoot-

What I plan to do-
I need to make sure my model is available and willing to take part in my shoot. I will be getting the train to my location shoot in Elsenham. I also need to remember to purchase my props for the shoot so before I get the train today I will go to Tesco and buy some fairy liquid lashing up liquid and some cereal.

What I hope to achieve-
I want my pictures to challenge the perception of Marketing. I will do this by putting my products which I am trying to advertise in an environment that they would not usually be in. My shoot is in an abandoned cricket shed (which has a kitchen) it is extremely run down and dirty so it would be unusual for the products I am trying to market to be advertised there.

What I actually achieved-

these are the pictures I took from this shoot, I think I set out what I wanted to achieve as a clear contrast can be seen.

What I plan to do next-
I still like this idea and will try and develop it with different products.

photojoiner technique page

1. choose a subject for your photos. photograph it in section (easier to work your way from left to right in rows) 
2. upload pictures to photoshop. work out how many a long you have for an a4 document.
3.change the size of your pictures accordingly 
4.arrange your pictures overlapping and experimenting with layers to form your picture. 

sequencing technique

for sequencing take some continuous photographs of a movement/action then make the pictures the same size on photoshop. put the pictures onto a new document with a transparent background. put the pictures together an equal amount apart (do this by making the zoom 100% and using the squares for measurement)
