Blog Prompt #22

A. Series: Brainstorm various ways to make a “series” of photographic images.

I like the idea of recreating several scenes from one movie and having those images come close to telling the story or narrative of the movie in those few pictures. Movies I had in mind for this would be (500) Days of Summer or Elizabethtown. Also, maybe just several nice scenes from several movies that are prominent. This would include scenes from the movies previously mentioned along with scenes from Sixteen Candles, Grey's Anatomy, and Twilight. I also really enjoyed the crime scene photos. I think it would be interesting to come up with unique ideas for this as well.

B. Final Project: Your final project in this class will be designed by you. If you could tackle any photography project, what would it be? You could combine other media with photography (video, sculpture, drawing) or you could take one of your earlier assignments and expand it to create a larger project. If you are expanding an earlier project or creating an entirely new series of images, shoot for a series of at least 5 images. Describe an idea you have for your final project.

I would really like to tackle the film still idea. More so I would like to do a series of photos from (500) Days of Summer. There are a lot of beautiful and fun scenes from this movie that I think are very worthy of being more than film stills. I would also like to include drawing over the photographs such as small detailing. For instance, small paisley or floral or something on those lines to add to the soft, delicate feel of the movie.
