Second photoshoot

 This photos were taken in a studio by placing the camera on a tripod and reducing the shutter speed to allow the camera to capture the light movement. i asked two people to use the glow sticks, that i were given to me, to move them to create a effect of a pattern that is the focus point of the image. As it was hard to create a one particular image shape using the glow sticks the people in the photo mainly used one rapid motion to create a wave effect using the glowing items.  

First Movement photo shoot

 Analysis of photos   

 All these photos were taken on a DLSR camera on the Manuel setting so that i could control the exposure and the shutter speed. The subjects are mainly people and landscape based as i believed i could show movement by using these in my photos. These were taken in Bradford in and around city park as we were sent out to take photos by applying settings on the camera to change the style of the images. I had no tripod with me so i hand held the camera the entire time and i had to stable my self to reduce camera shake so that the photos didn't turn out blurry. I took the photos of people walking to create the effect of ghost like movement as you can see the outline of the figure in the photo, this could be used to create a story as the figures are creating a footprint on the photograph. As I wanted a feather like effect on the images of the fountain as in wanted to capture the movement of the water in a  unique way to give the photo a creative twist. iv'e picked these photos to analyse as i thought they best showed the movement theme. I varied the settings to achieve then different type of photographs.  

Process for flip book

Process of a flip book

·         Conceptualise the scene in your mind, what you want to capture

      Start by drawing 48 frames ( give or take a few) however when creating a photo one you don't need to draw any frames, you only need to figure out how you are placing your images and how many pages it takes.  

start placing the images on the right side of the card  

·         When satisfied with frames attach a rubber band at the left side   

·         Then test out the flip book

i      I will use this method to create my flip book using my photos by selecting a subject to use to be the subject of my flip book. Most flip books are using drawings to play out a scene as this is the easiest way to make a flip book. Most photo flip books have a range between 24 and 30 frames for a effective flip book to create a visually appealing flip book using images.  The most effective way to capture movement using a camera is to use the mode sport as this can take constitutional shots. Another method is to take simple shots then move the subject to make it look like the subject has changed position.   

      Ideas for my flip book.

 ,  

1.      Cars passing by
2.       A person running or moving across the frame 
3.     Water pouring   
4.       Hands moving 
5.     fire ( match burning) 
6.      people moving on a couch 
7.     person jumping
8.     feet moving
9.     person  spinning
10.      people making funny faces 
11.      vinyl record going around
12.      item on the vinyl record 
13.      person making a funny face
14.      light switching on and off 

g       I will try to create every idea i have here to achieve diversity and have many examples/ photo sets to chose from.   

     Types of flip books      

   

   Most of these examples are drawn as these are the most popular type to create. 

Evaluate

Final evaluation

I ended with this as my final image I are using for my book cover as the way the editing that I have applied onto the fog makes it look unique and defined in the photo. As the text is not simple this enhances the theme / idea of cubism in the photograph. The fog part look like it has been added over the image, it looks like i have copied and pasted on the original image , this effect is also create with the part of the image I have boxed and edited. To make the fog more effective i added a color filter to make that part of the image to be more defined within the image. I also bend'ed the boxed edited part as to make it mold differential apart from the rest of the photograph.

As the main point of intrest in the image and i wanted to enhance the quality of them so i edited them so that they looked more futurist to fit with the theme. i wanted to title to be placed correctly in the image and not to overshadow the rest of the image and i believe iv'e achieved this by having the colors dimmed down and not in the face of the viewer. achieving the orange glowing look on the lights was done by added a filter and adjusting the levels , this was to improve the look of the lights as before the lights were too bright and slightly over exposed which is not the look i wanted to achieve. Picking this photo was because the framing of the lights as even though there is a lot going in the photo there are many points of focus in the photograph, and is most of futurism photos there is a blur and there inst one here the figures in the image represent movement which creates an image of people dancing in the viewers head. 

Planning

My plan for photo shoots 

First: 

My idea is to find a subject that can fit to the idea of futurism and cubism, the item I have chosen for my first photo shoot is my bowler hat as it is a unique item that interests me. 

  I did come across a problem before carrying out the photo shoot as it was difficult to photograph this objects in different angles as at nearly every view the item looked the same, which however was difficult it will be immensely easy to be able to place the object in different locations. I plan to use the college grounds to find the different locations I will be using to take photos at. The weather may be a factor I will have to take into consideration as it may become unsuitable to work in, if horrible weathers does occur I will try to locate places inside that can be used to their advantage.  

What i will do with the photos: 

i will hopefully use these photos to create my final cubist image as i believe if I edit the photo to looked cubist and creative it will create a really arty and unique final image.   

Second:

 There is a light festival happing in Bradford and i plan to use this to my advantage as to photograph them and create futurist themed images. Weather is another problem i may come across again and  to overcome it i will dress appropriately and ready for rain or freezing temperatures.  i will not be supplying the props this time as i will be photographing something that is being displayed for the public. There are more risks on this shoot however i will come up with ways to avert anything that is potential hazardous. 

What i plan on using the photographs for: 

Creating a set of photos for futurism then using them for my book cover about futurism.
