Final images that will be present on the top of panel one.

Eaweard Muybridge Influence

Eadweard Muybridge

Eaweard Muybridge is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion in 1877 and 1878, which used multiple cameras to capture motion in stop-action photographs, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures the pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip used in cinematography.

First Attempt

This was my first attempt at recreating images using Muybridge's techniques. It was a rough copy and I wasn't too sure how to adjust each frame to be the same size on the same level. I need to research how to edit these images on photo-shop, to get the final product that I want.

Second Attempt

This was my next attempt at editing these images. I researched information on 'youtube' to get each frame equal, which worked relatively well. I also researched information with how to edit photos to look old/dated. Unfortunately this made the images less contrasted and rather plain. I'll go research different techniques to age the photos. 

Final Image

This is the final copy that i'll be using on my first panel. I've adjusted the contrast levels, yet used editing effects to keep the aged look. I increased the frame of the image to view the model's body fully.

Start of panel one

These are the first four images appearing on my 1st panel. I've decided to do this by the subject matter of a male model (Scott Cameron, who is wonderfully photogenic), a pair of sunglasses and frame work present in the background.

Ralph Gibson influence

I don't think that these images offer enough depth for the start of panel one. I might introduce them later in pane one. My next step is to research in depth motion blur photography techniques, including artist models Eaweard Muybridge and Eitenne-Jules Marey.

Refine thinking

I'm going to techniques of Ralph Gibson for the first images of panel one. I'd like to introduce a male model and experiment with this in early morning light using the sunglasses along with the model.

As the panel progresses I'd like to include full body photography using Scott Cameron as my model. I'd like to capture these images outside the courtyard near the home economics room at my school where the area is surrounded by framework.

Still life Testing

I like the lighting effects used in these images and the shadows created from the light hitting the sunglasses. In these pictures I did not adjust the white balance correctly which is a result of the images having a sepia tone. I would need to change this for further photo-shoots. These pictures have not yet been edited, but I am looking to experiment with photoshop.

Proposal

 Depression has been something that has affected my family immensely over the past 2 years. I would like to develop this 'idea' through my photography as it is important to me. I have researched artist models Kenneth Josephson, Ernst Haas and Ralph Gibson whose techniques I'd like to explore in the beginning of panel one. These pictorial elements include blurred motion, lighting and shadowing. For subject matter I'd like to experiment with a pair of sunglasses which links to how people can only see darkness. Possibly comparing this to rose tinted glasses.
