Self Protrait

For your own self portrait you need to consider the following.

1. Firstly think about the type of person you want to portray.
2. Where are you going to take the picture, Think about a location important to you or the image that you want to project.
3. How will you structure the image? Props, or picture editing software (what are you going to manipulate?)

You will be responsible for constructing your own image. It is important that you are the one that does the work towards your image. This means that you set up the shot another person can press the shutter, however they are not responsible for ensuring that it is in focus of well exposed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. For my self portrait I want it to show me for the person I am. I want my picture to show a fun, lively, honest person but i want it to be comletely different to anything else.
2. I am still struggling to find a place where i would want to take my picture and somewhere that would reflect me in the way i would want to be seen.
3. I want to keep it a clear shot but still want to have the things i love in it.
   

Rag Week

Children in need

For children in need our Media class decided to dress up for a week and help raise money.
Through out the week we were all given different job/ tasks to do. What i did for the week:

• I Dressed up - From Tuesday through to Friday our whole class dressed up, Tuesday was Neon Day, Wednesday was Mat Hat Day, Thursday was Random Day (I decided to come in my pj's) and Friday was Hero's and Villains.
• I helped take pictures - At the start of everyday (Tuesday till Friday) everybody who dressed up had to have their pictures take and displayed. I helped take the pictures, for people on their own or in groups of two i used Portrait and for groups and large classes i used Landscape.
• I helped raise money - Because of us all dressing up everyday we went out into Crawley and around the college and ask for donations from people.
• I helped set up the studio - Because of the pictures being taken everyday we had to set up a 'studio', this means that i had to help set everything thing up (the camera and tripods) i also had to make sure that if there were any trailing wires or cables that they were secured down due to health and safety.
• I helped set up the lights - For the photos we decided to try and get a more profesional look, this meant that lights needed to be set up and the wires from them properly secured down. I needed to make sure the lights were in the right position and didnt cause any helth or saftey problems to anybody.

Building up to the Exhibition

We had to set up our 'Studio' which had 2 lights, 2 Gels, 3 Tripods and 1 Camera, we set it up so it would have looked a bit like this:
















Here are some of my faviourte pictures i took during the week, i have chosen 1 portrate and 1 landscape:

The World Up-Side Down

From my pictures taken on Friday I'm going to look at two and write about why i took them.

My first picture i want to look at is of the red slide.
It took me 3/4 minuets to get to this picture as i thought out of the 4 i took this one was the best.
I really like this picture as it is so simple but still has a lot of detail to it.
i think this picture can mean what ever you want it to mean but to me it portrays bright colours and journey.
This picture was taken in the Memorial Park's Playground.
I think i would call this picture something simple just like the picture its self, The Red Slide.






This is my second picture is an intresting one as it shows alot throught a structured object.
This picture took me roughly 4/5 mins due to the fact that i was trying to find the right angle which would show what i was aiming for.
I like this image as it took me a while to get this how i wanted it so im happy its came out the way it has.
I think this looks like your in a cage or some sort of tube going upwards or possibaly on a rolla coster.
I took the picture in Memorial Park's Playground on part of the climbing frame.
I think if i had to call this anything it would probably be Veiw from The Inside.

The World Upside-Down

Today i have gone out and tried to look at things in a different way, by this i mean i have gone out and tried to look at things from the hight of a toddler to the hight of an adult and higher.

This picture took a while to capture due to me trying to position myself as well as the camera at the right angle. This is called View From The Inside.











This picture again took quite alot of time due to it being so cold and me shaking but in the end i managed to capture what i wanted. I called this picture The Red Slide which may seem simple but when you look at the picture its just as simple.









This picture was by chance, i was wandering around looking up at things in the play ground and found that from a lower angle this gives a real sence of what all the kids and toddlers see.
I didnt call this picture anything as i didnt find it that inspiring.









This picture was always meant to be on its side as the jagged edge of the building makes this picture stand out. The only problem i had with this was that the cars/lorries in the forground sometimes covered up the building and this car got in the way but in someways made the picture.
I once again didnt name this picture as it wasnt exactly how i wanted it to be but was the closest i was going to get for that time for the day.
