week 2-2 proposal

Task -2Film Noir Proposal (500 words) My idea is having a male modal standing side view with his hand above his shoulders and his finger on his lips as if he is telling someone to be quiet. There is a spot light shining on him causing his shadow to appear and his shadow is running. There is a knife in the wall where his heart is as if his shadow has been impaled and the wall will have blood dripping out.
The style will be film noir. The camera shot will be a wide shot with close ups.
For the lighting I will use spot lights in the studio  and a red head light.
I will need a male model.
The prop that I will use will be a spot light. The locations I will need are the studio and a side street.  I will be using the rule of thirds and leading lines for my street.

Shot 1- description


Shot one will consist of a side street with dark lighting. I would take this photograph at night because I would have natural dark lighting and I will have a little light from the street lights which will give the street a bit more definition. I will take this photograph at home the effect will be in black and white 14/11/15


Shot 2 – description

Shot two will consist of a knife embedded in a wall with blood pouring out. The shot will be a close up on the knife with blood on it. I will do this image at home because I can't bring sharp objects in to college. The effect will be in black and white 14/11/15

Shot 3 – description Shot three will consist of my male model standing in side view and have a spot light in front of him to create shadow, depth and lighting. The effect will be in black and white and I will take this in the studio because I will have the right lighting and equipment with me. 9/11/15


Shot 4 – description

Shot four will consist of my male model in a running pose but I will only be taking a photograph of his shadow and not him. I will use a spot light to create a circle light around the shadow because I only need the shadow not the male model.  The effect I will use will be black and white 9/11/15 

Each shot will take up to five minutes, the whole shoot should take up to an hour. I will need to take a camera out and hire the studio room and spot lights and a tripod.

I will add these images together using Photoshop and add the black and white effects on each photograph. I think I will take five shots of each to see which shot looks the best and use that final shot that I like for my final piece. If I can’t find a male model I will have to use a female model.

week1-2 reserch


http://www.alanweissman.com/index.php#mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=5&p=5&a=0&at=0
I think the time period for this photograph was around  1980 because of the door and by his hair style.
I think the message for this image is loneliness and boredom.
What makes this photograph different is it is in black and white and that there is nothing special.
I would recreate this image by having a man sitting at a table  with one arm on his head and one on the table and I would have him wear a white vest top.  I would use a kitchen as a location and  I would edit it in Photoshop using a black and white effect.







http://www.alanweissman.com/index.php#mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=22&p=5&a=0&at=0
I think this was created around 1990 because it looks new and does not have an old look to it and the hand bag looks vintage.
I think the message is that she is a mistress.  Changes I would make would be to  have a full photograph of her body. The only thing that is special about this is the low  light and that it is in black and white. I like how it has a vintage look to it.
I would recreate this image by having a woman in front of a mirror and have her hold her face  towards the mirror so I can see her face in the mirror and have some of her belongings on her dresser table.  I would edit this in Photoshop and change the effect to black and white.

I think this image was taken in  the 1970s because as you can see the phone has  a cord and it is very old.
I think it has a message of mystery solving because he looks like an old 1970 detective. I like how the image is a silhouette, it gives it character to the image. I think this image is unique because it is a silhouette  and that makes it unique against today's photography.
I would recreate this image by having a person in front of a blind and have the redhead light behind him and the blinds and have him pick up a phone on the table. The location I would use would be an office. I would edit this image in Photoshop and change the effect to black and white.

I think this image was taken in the 1960s because of the light, it is very old.
I think this message says that spy's are mysterious.
I think this image is unique because of the smoke  and that it is in black and white and it is different to today's photography because it is in black and white.
I would recreate this image by having a man lean against a lamp and have a smoke machine to create the smoke.   I would take the photograph outside the Galleries of Justice. I would edit this on Photoshop and add the black and white effect .
https://ideaforamovie.wordpress.com/
I think this was created in the early 90s because of the backdrop and the lighting.
I think the message says girls can be bad too.
It is different because it has girl instead of a man.  This photograph is different because it is black and white  then compared to nowadays photographs.
I would recreate this image with a pretty looking girl who has blonde hair and have her wear a dress and hold a gun  and have her stand in front of a backdrop.  I would take this image in the class room and would edit this in Photoshop and change the effect to black and white.  The light I would use is a redhead light the prop I would need is a gun (not real).


http://blog.markogradyphotography.co.uk/2011/05/14/lighting-diagram-for-film-noir/
I think this image was took in the late 90s because his tuxedo and the blinds
the message I think is assassination.
This image is unique compared to modern day photographs because it is in black and white. I would recreate this image by having the light on the opposite side of the room and facing the window. I would have a man in the other side of the room looking outside with a gun. The props that I would use is a gun and the location I would use is a office or some where that has a blind I would edit this image in Photoshop and add an effect black and white.

i think the image was crated in the 1970s because of the scenery and the dress and the woman's hair style  
i think the message is that the world is a cruel world because she is alone
this image is different because it is black and whit bur also has red and now days there is no black or whit images 
 i would re crate this image by having a woman standing in a red dress next to a balcony i would have the lighting on the left to giver her shade i would take the photograph in a car park because it has a balcony with a view  i would use a soft light so there is not much light i would edit this image in Photoshop and edit the effect and have it in black and white but keep the red

i think this photograph was took in maxico because of the house and the era is 80s because of the lighting i think the message is silent but deadly because no one is here apart from him the image is diffrent because of the black and white effect
i would recrate this image by having a man in a coat and hat
and in a ally way whith low lit light
