How COVID affected us/ Life Photography
This is one of my ideas and I choose this as one because it’s something we can all relate to and something we have all gone through and through images it will show how we adapted to life during COVID. To portray this idea I would be doing life photography to show how life is/ has been through lockdown. I feel like if this is done effectively you can get the message across to show what people had to face in the years of 2020 and 2021.
I want to show people how people adapted as everyone had to adapt to it differently. I am going to be creative in the photos I want to achieve/ show. Even though communication is a soft skills and you use it in general with other people I feel like I need to be more confident with communication with other people. By talking to other people with how their life changed and how they have to adapt to the gain in their life.
My idea is challenging because I’ve got to think about, I want to show my idea through imagery and how I want it to look. It will be hard to achieve some of the photos because I want to show the social distancing through the images as well because that is one of the main things we have had to adapt to.
This idea is ambitious because it is something everyone has gone through but affected people is so many different ways. The way it has affected you can be completely different to how it has affected someone else.
With this idea I think it will interest the audience with how I can show how COVID has affected us and will want to see how you can portray the ideas through photos.
For this idea I was planning on editing of billboard, so it gets the message out of how we adapted our life in the year or 2020 and 2021. For this idea as well as my other ideas I was going to you my Niece to do this. With this idea using children might get more people’s attentions.
Difficulties you can face.
With this idea I can face a lot of difficulties one of them can be no getting the right message out through the images and my plan not going how I wanted it to go. By this I means photoshoots not going ahead or as planned.
For this project and idea, I can get a high grade from it by getting the message out correctly and effectively and showing all the right skills.
To start off with I will go through what I wanted to get out of the project and idea and if it was successful. Even if it wasn’t successful, I will go on further into my evaluation saying why not or why it was. By doing this I am showing I have the skills to evaluate my own project.
Portrait
I chose portrait as one of my ideas because it interests me and I feel like you can capture so much just from a photo of someone, you can see the emotion in their face and how they feel just from one photo.
If I choose this as my overall idea, I will gain confidence and skills within portrait photography. I intended to use my niece for the person I use for my images. I am choosing someone quite young because I feel you can get more out of an image if a young person more than you can from and older person. I do have an idea where I use her and my mum to show age difference.
If I choose this as my idea for my FMP I am going to be as creative as I can with the images I want to achieve. I am also going to learn different skills to use within photoshop when editing my photos. I don’t intend editing all my photos, but I never know how it’s going to go, and all may need editing.
I intend to gain editing skills within photoshop or other editing apps so, I can edit my photos to be the best they can be. I will also be using both soft skills as I will need to communicate with people around me if I need any help.
If I choose this as my final FMP idea, I think the challenging parts for my will be editing as I’m not the best at editing but as I edit more, I gain more experience and knowledge I also think, it’s going to be hard to get the photos when I want them as children aren’t always interested and don’t want to do it, but I will find different ways to overcome them.
For me, this idea is ambitious because I’m not 100% sure what part of the industry I want to go in so by doing this it gives me more experience. My having experience in the other types of photography it gives me the opportunity to find the best types of photography that suit me the best and someone I enjoy.
With my idea I tend to get the audience interested by achieve different photos and have seen what my Niece would be interested in doing.
What marketing could you use for this idea?
For this idea I was planning to keep it simple nothing too big.
One big difficulty I can face is her not being interested and not wanting me to take photos of her. To overcome this difficulty, I can face I will ask her and if she isn’t interested, I will ask her if she wanted to go outside to achieve these photos. To achieve a high grade with this idea for my FMP I will edit the photos. I will analyse this project by going through everything I have done and how I have achieved the photos and the process I have gone through to get these.
Black and white
I choose this as one of my 3 ideas because Black and White images look effective and it’s not as simple as putting a filter on the photos you have took, you have to challenge yourself because you are working within photoshop. This is challenging for me as I’m not the best with photoshop. If I choose this, it will show how the edit my photos, the process. and how I can improve my photos.
To start off with I am going to research into different photos and how I can achieve the photo I want to. I have already started looking on Pinterest and google for ideas. I am also going to be showing my skills within photoshop and how I can I orbs my skills. The skills I will gain if I choose this as my FMP is photoshop skills and the right angles for me to get the best photos. Also, with the images being black and white I need to get the lighting right.
Other than my idea of how COVID affected us this is one is quite hard. It is hard because you have to get everything right for the images to look effective. This is in editing as you can just have a filter on. I a, not the best with photoshop so this will be challenging for me to do my best. This project for me is ambitious because there is more to it than just taking photos, it gives me the opportunity to gain more skills. It also gives me the opportunity to explore within Black and White Photography.
To get the audience Interested I will ask what my niece wants to do so she is partially involved in the photo shoot I will be doing with her. I feel she can be creative and will give me ideas to try to achieve.
With portrait photography I was keeping it simple because if you do too much it can ruin the image. I would aim to put the photos on a cover. I feel if I do anything too big for this it can ruin it. I will also be adding the photos I achieve to my portfolio. Editing the photos to how I like it and how I want them to also look the lighting within the photos. I will start with the process and how I started planning and researching and how I achieved the photo I end up with.
I feel all of my ideas are ambitious and will be a good outcome overall but, out of the ideas above I have decided to combine two ideas into one. I will be doing Portrait and Black and White photography. I have chosen these two together because you can achieve a lot from it. I am also interested in these types of photography. By doing this for my FMP I able to have an insight in this type of photography to see if I will enjoy this type.
Even though I have chose both of these types of photography all of the photos wont be in Black and White. The reason I have chose not to do them all in black and white is because not all photos look as good in black and white so, throughout my project there will be photos in colour and in black and white. I hope to develop new skills throughout this project that I can continue throughout my career in the industry.
