What I done for my FMP is I took a series of pictures of different types of clothes such as 60's clothes, 80's clothes and a small amount of 2013's clothes. For this I used my mum, two sisters and one picture of my friends Kat. What I done was when I took one picture I would edit that same picture into lots of different edits. For the editing I used a little bit of photoshop, and websites called lunapic.com and picmonkey.com. These are really good editing sites and really easy to use! After I edited lots and lots of pictures, I put them all together in premier and made them in to a really awesome slideshow! I used a song called Gentlemen by someone called PSY. The song really goes well with the way I have edited and put the slideshow together! I am inspired by the 60's and 80's fashion and I love how they are so different compared to each other and that is why I used those fashions, and it bases around times because it is different decades and styles of clothing.
My original aim turned out exactly the way I planned it to be. I spent over £200 on things to buy for my FMP and I am very proud of the outcome. I planned to buy the correct outfits and accessories for my FMP and my plan was to take loads of pictures and edit them one by one and do several edits of the same picture (but do this for all pictures). It took a long time, but my hard work has paid off and I am happy with the outcome.
The only thing that changed about my plan was not going out to the beach or a field to take some pictures as I find it hard to walk far, and the weather wasn't so great either so I gave that a miss. I took pictures in my front and back garden and some pictures in my house. I think the location of where I took the pictures hasn't affected anything as I think it makes it look better and more older in some ways so I am happy that my plan didn't go EXACTLY to plan as it turned out better than I thought it would. The only thing that went wrong was my camera breaking so for this project I used a Nikon L310, a Nikon D40 and a Lumix cheap camera (which didn't make the pictures look good so I didn't use them in my FMP as the quality was really bad). Also, someone fell down the stairs whilst wearing really high healed shoes so we didn't pay much attention to the safety and we really should have! The editing went really well and getting all the pictures went really well. I am over the moon with my final piece, I am very happy with it.
The journey into producing my final piece was amazing because it meant spending quality time with my mum and sisters. There was also some laughs when some pictures went wrong and I have had a good time. The journey was also stressful at times because sometimes the computer would crash whilst I was half was through editing so I had to start some edits again as they did not save. The computer I had was running really slow as well and I felt like I didn't have the patience for it but in the end I managed and I took my time and everything turned out amazing!
If I was to do my project again I would improve it by getting MORE clothing for more decades and do a lot more pictures and put them into a slideshow. I would also find decent places to make the pictures look more professional and I would use a lot more people to model and not just use the same people. I would also start shooting my pictures a lot sooner than I started my final piece pictures as I felt like I didn't have much time and I worried that I wasn't going to get my final piece done in time and the stress wasn't good so I would plan it out a lot more specific and start my work a lot sooner. I would also organise for at least 3-4 more people to be models for my final piece as it kinda looks plain with just the same people, but I am still in love with my final piece. I would display my work in an art gallery/museum and in the college summer art show 2013 at plymouth college of art. I would also display my work in news papers and magazines. I could also show it in a fashion magazine such as vouge magazine.
I am most proud that I managed to get it all finished and edited on time. I am proud that I saved the right money to get what I needed and I am proud that I never gave up. So many times I felt like I should have gave up because things kept failing (editing pictures not saving) but I never gave up, I was patient and I tried again and It all turned out wonderful. I love the slideshow and I am proud of all of it. I am proud of all the different edits and and proud of the way I put it all together in a slide show by using premier.
I am really happy with the picture above. I feel like this is one of the best pictures. The strengths are i think the colour makes it stand out and makes it look more 80's and the way it has been edited makes the picture really 'pop'. I am proud of this picture. The model is the key focus by being in the centre of the image. I zoomed in because i didn't want certain elements of the background to be shown in the picture. The model was on muddy floor and the background was a bit of a mess and i didn't want that to be shown in the image. The contrast in this picture really works well and makes the colour stand out more. What i done on this picture was go onto an editing website called lunapic.com. I added a cartoon effect to make it look more punk-ish and i think it really does well.
I am proud of the picture above. Again, i positioned the model to be in the middle of the image to be the focus point. I cropped the image a little to get rid of certain elements in the background. I really like the effect on this image because i think it makes it look more old and vintage looking and i think that really works well with the decade the image is based on. (60's). The brightness and contrast was changed to make the picture look a little darker and not as modern and up to date as it is supposed to be set in the 60's. I think the way i have positioned the model it really makes her stand out in the photo. What i done for this image was go onto a site called lunapic.com. I made the image look darker and added more shadowy effects and reduced the highlight effect. I made the image dark, black and white and added a old film effect. I put the contrast lower so that it was a bit more darker and shadowy. A little film grain was also added, but not much.
The reason why i am proud of the image above is because the settings on the camera weren't right and the image came out way too exposed. I like it because it is supposed to be set in the 60's but the bad-ish quality really makes the image work and look like it was taken in an older decade. I added lots of film grain to make it look more old and i added a tint of a yellowy-brown colour to make it a bit more older looking. Once again the model is positioned in the middle of the picture and she really stands out. Although there is a bit of colour in the background, the model shines through and the viewer is more focused on the model. I zoomed in a little on this image as I didn't want soo much railings to be shown. what i done with this image was i went onto a picture editing site called picmonkey.com and I added a lot of film grain and added a yellowy-brown tint to make it look a bit sepia-like but not fully filled like a sepia effect as i wanted there to still be slight colouring in the image.
I love the image above. My FMP was also based on 60's hair styles too and i really think the models hair style is very old fashioned and really goes well in my work. The model is the focus point by being positioned in the middle. I wanted there to be a plain white background and nothing more to make the picture look more professional. I put the model in front of a white wall. I didn't zoom or crop anything in this photograph. I changed the brightness, contrast and colour to make it 'pop' more and this is one of my favourite images ever. For this picture i went onto photoshop and i played around with all of the editing settings. what i done was change the brightness so that it wasn't so bright, i changed the colour to black and white (monochrome) and added a slight shadowy boarder to make the image stand out more.
