6. Work Record 5

Work Record 5

Location - Shanklin, Isle of Wight

Distortion method - Crystal ball

My Plan for Shoot 6 - 

For this shoot, my plan is to use the beach setting in order to create some new ideas with using the crystal ball. i would like to experiment with what the ball looks like in at the edges of the waves along with trying to capture any beach huts or groynes within the ball.

Research influence - 

The research influence for thus shoot was mainly Stefan kens as well as the other photographers in which we included in my image bank. They all gave me different ideas on how to best place the ball in order to capture the best images.

My best images - 

 

Images that require improvement - 

I feel that the focus is wrong in this image, as it is on the seaweed instead of the crystal ball. for me, this is not a pleasing image. 

I like this image, however if I were to retake, I would get closer to the object. 

Personally, I think that although this image is nice in terms of its composition and shot settings, however I feel it is a little boring.

AO3 - Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress.

I feel that out of all of my shoots so far, the amount of outcomes that I am happy with of this shoot has been one of my best.  

AO2 - Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops.

To take my photos I used a Canon E10 1000D, with multiple lenses.

AO1 - Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding.

In shoot 5, I was more influenced by the ideas from the image bank rather than an individual photographer.

AO4 - Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.
