week reflection


This week we started our new assignment which is called “we English”. The aim of this assignment is to show English culture but without using the obvious pictures of the union jack. So I decided to do skate photography and try to use landscape shots with skateboarders in them. The Fujifilm assignment which we did last was a tough one. So many problems kept happening like the weather kept putting off my photoshoots, getting hold of the equipment as I don’t own my own film camera. I also didn’t have many back up ideas for if the worse happened which it did. On this assignment I have loads of ideas simply because I feel more confident using digital and I feel like there is more freedom on what we shoot and how we shot it. We have got to put together a magazine what already exists and put our final images in it. For mine I have chosen three different ones, sidewalk magazine, kingpin and thrasher magazine. I chose these three as they are all skateboarding magazines but I will probably use sidewalk magazine as its an English magazine. We also went through essay writing this week where we spoke about how to describe and annotate our images in an essay which we are writing very soon. In this assignment I have decided to experiment a little. I am go try using filters on flashguns to add colour into it. Because I don’t own filters I am going try and use sweet wrappers as they work pretty good. Im feeling really confident on this assignment and think I will get a good grade. I feel like I have a lot more time on this assignment.
