-BEST PICTURE-
-worst picture- |
This is my favourite picture from all above because it has a strong meaning , the meaning is that when he speaks to the women it feels like a punch in the face instead of just a conversation. To give it more of an effect they have put the image in black and white to make it more powerful.This picture is slightly under exposed to create a dull and scary atmosphere. There is a large depth of field as the whole picture is in focus. The background is plain to make the image stand out more.
In my opinion I think that this is the worst picture because due to it being a silhouette it does not give a very strong message. The background is plain to bring out the models as shadows. |
anti- self harm campaign...
what is self harm?
Self harm is when somebody intentionally hurt or damage their own body, It is not a way of suicide it is a way to relieve stress by coping with overwhelming and emotional feelings and distress. The intention of self harm is to express their feelings and to punish themselves physically rather that emotionally.
why i chose this campaign?
I chose this campaign because in my opinion I think that it is very interesting, also a lot of teenagers tend to self harm. Even though people just think that it is girls and teenagers that only self harm , it isn't boys do self harm too. Many age ranges self harm to relieve their stress. People may think that self harm is a joke and a small minor thing but it isn't,it is a major painful thing to go through in life. People need to become more aware of self harm because people are very secretive over things like this because it is very personal.
plan
I have decided to take my photo using perspective photography. I am going to have the white balance setting on daylight because I am going to take the images outside. I am going to have the focus point on the rope and the person. I am going to have the exposure just right so that my pictures are not over exposed or under exposed. I am doing this as my shoot to get the message across about teenage suicide. There will be a person standing far behind, whilst the rope is up front, I am going to try making it seem as though the person is actually hanging.
shoot 1
plan...
For my first plan I am going to write on a piece of paper lots of words with red paint splatted on the paper and a blade next to the paper with red paint on the blade. I want the picture to be dark because I think it makes it more effective and also I would have to have the camera settings on around f/3.5 . I would like to take my images in many different angles such as birds eye view and also worms eye view. I need a male model because I want to get across that boys self harm to.
shoot 2
worst picture
This is my worst picture because I have taken it too far away. I did not capture the cuts and I did not capture the word "Broken". My models face is not showing the correct expressions. I didn't take this from the right angle because it just looks messy and also this image needed to be taken closer and in more focus.

best picture!
This is my favorite picture because it would be a good image for a faceless campaign. I think it helps the viewer put themselves in the picture. I also like this picture because it has been taken from a small depth of field which helps the audience focus on the cuts.However if I blurred the background then it would have been more effective because the arm would have been the main focus.

final image
plan
For my second shoot I wanted to have the coloured spotlights in the background to show the emotion of my model. My model has cuts on her arms and her emotions are sad. I am going to take a variety of images. The spotlights are going to be changing colour I want them to show up in the background because that is representing that her emotions are changing .I am going to take pictures from different angles also I will take pictures from close up and from far away.
shoot 3
editing
First I inserted the image. Next I clicked the crop tool and selected the bits which I wanted to crop out. I then cropped out the background which I didnt need. My image is now the correct size. I then inserted my quote which I found on the internet. I inserted it step by step because I needed to write it all on seperate lines. My quote is complete. I then changed the filter of my image to black and white. Inserted the childline logo and resized it correctly. I finally changed the whole image to black and white and placed my child line logo in the correct place. |
FINAL IMAGE AFTER EDITING...
worst
best picture!
This is my best picture because the color in the background is clear. The camera is focused and you can see the cuts clearly and also my model is putting her head down to show that she is upset and that she is thinking. I have put my cuts into the spotlight because that is my main focus . I like how my model has no light on them because it shows how they are feeling.
Plan
In this shoot I am going to create the image of someone who has been beaten up and will have pills in their hand as though they are going to commit suicide. The white balance will be Daylight as I'm going to be taking this shoot outside on a bright day. Also the hand will have the focus point on whilst the face and everything else is a little blurred out, but still so you can see the actual bruises on the face. For this the aperture will be on F6. The exposure should be perfect so it won't be too dark or light.
Shoot 4
WORST
This is my worst image because the focus point is not focusing on the correct part of my image. This image has been over exposed. If I was to re-do this shoot to improve it I would attempt to edit it, also I would take it in a better surrounding as this has impacted the amount of lighting on my images. To edit my picture I am going to apply a galaxy effect onto the whole image and then after that I am going to apply words onto the pills the words will quote "Im not perfect" this message will give the impression to others that her imperfections have lead her to take an overdose on pills .

BEST
This is my best picture because this image is exposed correctly, I have blurred the background so that the image is focused on the hand and the pills.I have used a small depth of field therefore the
EDITING
After that I clicked open and then selected the correct image I wanted to edit.
Then I clicked adjustments, and put a black and white filter on the image. Then I inserted a text box,by clicking the tool bar down the side and then clicking the 'T'. Once that was inserted I my quote which I found on the internet. Finally I moved the text around a few times then I found the correct place to keep it. |
final pieces
evaluation
Overall this was my favorite project that I have completed because I was extremely passionate about it because it was interesting and I had many creative ideas. To improve this I think that my analysis could had been stronger. After finishing the project I am able to develop my pictures using photo shop. I am happy with how my shoots turned out and therefore I would not change anything.
