I went to this workshop because I want to improve my photography skills. I want to do more photoshoot in this project. I haven’t used this studio before so the tutor gave us a very thorough induction and the safety. There are so much things need to be noticed in the studio that I haven’t thought about which is very helpful if I want to do photoshoot in here in the future.

After the induction, we had a chance to try with the lighting. I still haven’t remember all the name and the function of each light but I roughly know how they work and how they affect the final photo. Tutor showed us the adjust camera setting in studio, the important of ISO and aperture. The slides show us lots of example about how one light can change the mood of the images and we can add more light to create the dimension of the images. Colour card is the one I haven’t heard before but it is good to know about it and we can borrow it in the studio.

I now know some basic lighting set up how to create a portrait. It is really interesting that tutor said we can always send them email about the reference and they will show us how to achieve that lighting. I will definitely book it just to experiment with the lighting set up.

From the topic we got, Eilidh come up with the idea that the crim scene when people use the tape to mark the body

Also inspired from the movie Dogville, when they use the tape just the mark the house and property.

We choose the part near in the ground floor that we can make the body half sit and half lay down. My group has 6 people and everyone all help in preparing and creating this

We used tape to mark 2 body, the cabinet near there is quite useful that we can use them to put clothes and fabric for decoration

To make it related to fashion, we decorate with lots of clothes and the cause of death is over consumption. Also we cut the word ‘it’s a crime to look this good” like the newspaper cut out

We all satisfied with the results, and it look cool even from the above or near, one classmate said she feel more involved when see it near which is very interesting compared to see from the above

Thursday we have brief for this module, everything seems very confusing at this stage. There are so much cool example that Elosie show us, as well as the example sketchbook from previous year. I would definitely look at them more in my own time and read the handbook again so I can understand.
