Weird and Wonderful
Statement of Intent
My aim is to produce a project on my website based on the theme weird and wonderful I will demonstrate my ideas and my personal response to the theme by developing my image using a surrealist approach. My starting point when I was given the project made me think of the theme mirrors as to me its weird and wonderful. I will gain inspiration to help with my work and take photos in the style of certain photographers to begin with.
I will start by researching and looking into different type of photographers and the way they take their photos. I am interested in looking at Laura William. When I looked at her work I gained lots of inspiration from her images. I think her work is effective because it sets a type of confusion to the viewer because it is a mirror theme. So you have to think for a moment about whats going on.
When we first found out our topic is going to be weird and wonderful I initially thought I would do illusions or fairies. After doing a mind map about weird and wonderful I realized there many more to pick from so I thought of mirrors and different type of pictures i can take in different locations and by using different settings on the camera.
To show I have made progress I will use Photoshop and develop my ideas and try out different settings. After this I will go take more picture maybe in a different type of locations around the Manchester where I think a certain a picture might look better. I would like to try out different type of technique within my work. I would like to capture some filming and different types of depth of field. I want to push myself and be creative and would like increase my knowledge on Photoshop.
I have couple of months to produce a project on my website and work towards my final piece. I aim to research within the first 2 weeks and start taking photo in 3rd week and hopefully see progression within my work.
As I work on this project I will label my ideas and keep developing my ideas. Thinking of ways to make my work better and try achieve a higher grade. I will get advice from my teacher and peers on how to improve my work and aim to push myself. I will also reflect on my work to see what went well and what didn't go so well and learn from my mistakes
