Developmental shoot (1)


After researching more online into my theme I had originally thought of, I decided to concentrate on 'fear' as my subject choice. I have a few ideas to do with this topic which I am excited to try out, however tomorrow I will be completing for me, the least exciting shoot. Although I still think it will help me find more about creating an interesting photograph for my final piece. This will hopefully form the basis of my subject, as I think in a future and more adventurous shoot I will be concentrating on the fear of water, therefore this will help me to establish the meaning of the word 'fear' and what it means to different people which will give me a better idea on the emotion I want to capture of someone trying to escape their fear.

I have already started to prepare my work so that I am ready to shoot tomorrow, I have done this as I had an idea to take a photograph of common fears on a piece of paper then take a photo of someone holding it. I wanted the background of these photos to be very plain, for example a brick wall should hopefully work out well. I think that a basic composition will work best for this photo, as the meaning behind it is a lot more significant than the creative compositions therefore I will most likely do a central composition.
I have prepared twelve different pieces of paper each containing the words:

  • Flying
  • Dying
  • The dark
  • Needles
  • Clowns
  • Spiders
  • Failure
  • Small spaces
  • Water
  • Thunder
  • Lightning
  • Heights

Tomorrow I will be going out shooting pictures of one person by themselves holding each of these signs, and I will then merge these photos together on photo shop to create one large photo consisting of these photos. I think I will try to achieve this in black and white, as I think it will capture the meaning of the photo more than if it was in colour your eyes may be attracted to something different in the photo.
For this shoot I want to achieve a range of different photos that I can experiment with, and change them all around in order to create an effective photo. I also want to achieve the knowledge for the foundations of my 'fear' topic so that I understand this better, by also asking people about their fears which I will then record on here shortly what my conclusion is. Hopefully, this will give me a better idea of what I am trying to capture and the emotional journey that arises from such fears.
