My idea

17/4/11

Today I finished my manipulating one of my photographs, I have added gold to the backgournd of my main image and I will pint out all my presentations and pictures into my ast book that will help reference what I have posted allong the start of the unit.

My Photographs for greed

1/4/11

Today we looked at all the photographs taken and separated them into groups so we knew whos photos beloonged to who. This took some time as we all used the same camera and there were 333 photographs to separate. Our teacher talked to us about editing the images, as in some of the images there was a white background we decided that it would be interesting to manipulate images into our photographs for example in my greed image I could manipulate lots of gold onto the background or for lust Aleia could manipulate huge lips in the while cloth. This enables us to use photoshop and defining our photographs maybe even for protional use.

Today we got into the Dark room and started taking our pictures, so we gathered all our props and scheduled an even amount of time for everyone to take their pictures, with enough time to clear the space because there was another class that wanted to used the room after us. We had alots of fun, as we put and took off costumes and decorated the area for our scenes. we had a little diddiculty with the lighting but we managed to take enough with normal lighting. As we took pictures of our chosen sin Jennifer was taking five or so pictures of evey sin so that everyonw could have at least one picture of the other sins, when she did her modeling an photographing we all took a few pictures.

Today we presented our sin in presentation. We looked at what the sin was, how it affects us, how photographers use the sin in their photography, how the colour is used to present emphasis, how we want to take our pictures, what our props would be and what lighting we would want in our photography.

I got to understand more about all the other sins and most importantly, I learnt more about Lust and Gluttony as they are the sins I will be modeling in.

This is an image I chose to combine Gluttony and Lust together.

Today we all made a schedule so we knew exactly what do to for the following weeks. We chose deadlines for our powerpoints, for our photoshoots and in the end when we could manipulate some of the images that we took.
I lookied at a storyboard for my photoshoot making it easier to take the pictures and so my models would know what I wanted them to do. I also talked to the person I was going to model for (Aleia and Jennifer) as I had been chosen to be the contast for Lust and Glutony. For Lust I was asked to wear white to show purity and virginity when it came to contrasting with the powerfull luxurious red that was suposed to take over me in the photoshoot, as for Gluttony I had to feel impowered by the sin as if she wanted me more and more but as the contrast I had enough.
I wanted my greedy model to want everything, but never feel satisfied, but then when the contrast sees shes lost everything she offeres a yellow coat as the greedy persn isleft in the cold. The giving person smiles as if she feels contented with giving, being kind and caring to others, as the greedy model sees her happiness wanting it like if she was in hunger to feel that way eventhough she was overshadowed with greed.
