Plausable effects

These four pictures of the same saucepan with water inside are example of the plausable effects that Disney used to have, the top left picture is of steam coming from the pan, but the plausable effect makes it look like a puff of smoke from a dragon's fire.

The top right picture is of bubbling water, but the plausable effect makes it look like a volcanic eruption.

The bottom left picture is of bubbling water again, but this time simmering, the plausable effect makes it look like the rough waves on the open sea during a terrible storm.

Finally the bottom right picture is of water droplets splashing into the saucepan, but the plausable effect makes it look like raindrops splashing in puddles.

Title of shoot:
The Plausible Impossible

Name of student:
Samuel Martin

Date of shoot: next week

Time of shoot: various

Location details/directions:
At the college Science rooms or somewhere in the Media Department

Props:
Everyday objects to create the effects of the impossible

Talent:


Description of location: (Please explain what the picture is about)
The picture is about the Plausible Impossible, something that Disney used to do when they were doing their shorts and their feature length animation films, they drew many of the impossible things by photographing drips of milk splashing into the saucer to create the effect of raindrops and another plausible by photographing a thick mixture bubbling to create volcanic eruptions.


Lighting, Daylight or Artificial light:
Artificial lighting, two of them to see everyday objects doing the impossible.


Additional information about how the photo will be shot: Filters, Tripod, Fast slow shutter speed etc:
Fast and slow shutter speed is very essential for this project to work.
Tripods might be useful to photograph the impossible at certain heights or lower positions.
I may need filters for a certain effect that is also impossible.

Equipment needed:
Everyday objects.
Tripods.
Lighting.
Close-up lens.
Digital cameras.
Flash.

In Motion

Motion:

My idea for my photography would be the implausable effect, the same effect that Disney used it do it, when the animator tried to take photos of the impossible like a simple splash from a drop of milk, being animated into a crown or into a raindrop.

Treatment Photography

1. Type of production and brief details on Subject/Concept:

Implausable: The Implausable is a method of doing almost the impossible, Disney had done it by photographing a single splash of milk in stop motion, it would look like as if it's a raindrop.

2. Facilities: What facilities do you need for this project list all including software and hardware for the whole project

I may need a small studio with fast shutter speed cameras to capture the milk drop falling into the bowl in slow motion, to make the raindrop affect.

3. Finance: If you produced this project outside of the college you need to show how much would it cost to hire the equipment that you intend to use.

I intend to use four shutter speed cameras from each side of the subject and three lights shining on thew subject, four shutter speed cameras and three studio lights would cost at least four to five thousand pounds.

4. Contributors: Who do you need to help this for you project? This includes talent and crew.

I may need some temporary help for the effects of the Implausable, as to who? Well it doesn't matter to me.

5. Codes of practice and regulation: What regulations to you need to be aware of. Think about college policy as well as regulatory bodies that you looked at in assignment 2, Worksheet 1.6 Regulation and Safety notes.

If there's any copyrights for Disney's Implausable special effects, do I need to buy royalty earnings from them to proceed further and do I need to take the health and safety regulations of 1992 policy into account.

6. Presentation: How will you present the pictures? Will you include a soundtrack, think about copy write issues etc.

I'll present my pictures by using the notice board as a photography gallery, or maybe I could use a soundtrack from one of Disney's movies, once again I need royalty earnings and special copyright licenses to see this project through.

portraiture, fashion and art

Application:

The word Art means to me is expression of a person's tormented soul, expressing his emotions and feelings on a canvas, some artists can be exentric sometimes, not to mention creative in what skill of art they're good at, like photography for example, artists using photographic images for a masterpiece are considered to be geniuses, some artists photographing decisive moments is also another form of a masterpiece because it allows the viewer to see a world that we couldn't see before but is captured by the eyes of the artist or photographer, in most companies.

Name of Art Photographers:
Alejandro Chaskielberg: At 18, Alejandro had been shooting political assignments for magazines and local newspapers in Buenos Aires, but soonn he became frustrated with the creative limitations of press photography.
After years of studying the violin and working as a musician, he returned to imagemaking by working a s a cameraman on public television documentaries,he took photos of the wilderness, wild swamps and tropical rivers in South America's Congo River, next door to Brazil.

Esteban Pastorino Diaz: Her style is photographs of buildings being edited to look like black and white photographs in the 1900s, although they don't look like it, they are modern buildings with bits of rust, grime, cracks, nooks and crannies to make her photos have an effect of looking like as if it really came from the 1900s.

Alec and Carmen Soth: A father and daughter duo pair of photographers stroll around their hometown for a few hours each day, Carmen photographed rubbish on the beach, postcards on racks and the ground, often her sparkly red shoes in the shot, but after a while, she ran out of steam so her father decided on certain subjects to look for, among them were pushchairs and balloons as the project started to take shape.

Conceptional Photography:
My understanding of Conceptional Photography would be the idea of making your photo abstract, taking a photo of your chosen scenery or chosen subject in real life would be just an ordinary photo, but if you take a photo and altered it by making it look like something that no one has seen before, then your photo would be abstract.
Alec and Carmen Soth both made abstract photos by taking pictures of various subjects with bits and piece sof rubbish on the lens to create an sbstract effect of shadow and light art photograpghy work.

The images of Alejandro and Estsban are special and unique in every way, Alejandro's photo style of everyday life in South America's Congo River is of people working, fishing, hunting, selling sugar cane plants and how they get about.
Esteban's photo style is very simple because altering the colour patterns on her photos gives it an effect of it being taken by an old fashion camera in the 1900s, each style of each of these photographer's photos are outstanding.

Contexts:
The surroundings of Alejandro's photos from the Congo River in Brazil make such of an accurate window to what goes on everyday in South America, letting us see how the people live and thrive in such a hostile wet environment by selling sugar cane plants, as for the surroundings in black and white photos, the images there make such of a wonderful effect of the good old days style in the modern day, in other words, the 1900s gets shift into the year 2010.
The images are just pinned onto a board because framing is too expensive and too flashy for a bunch of photos, Alejandro's pictures are pinned onto a white piece of cardboard because the white with plenty of colour in the middle makes the photo stand out pretty well for viewers, as for Esteban's photos, she put her photos on a grey background where her black and white photos could be noticed and reconistioned f0r it's style in the 1900s.

Technique:
Alejandro's photos are reached to an audience because his style of photography involves a foreign land, South America is rather interesting because it's every child's dream to be an explorer, exploring wild swamps, tropical rivers and untamed wilderness with so many wierd and unusual creatures lurking about, Alejandro really captured the moments of each and every day in the Congo River, also it tells everyone what life is like out there and how people there survive in such very wet, very wild hostile territories.
Esteban's photos are reached to an audience because her style of photography invovles modern buildings with old bits and pieces of nooks and crannies, which are overlooked by builders or have been forgotten for a long time, Esteban's idea for these modern buildings with old bits all over them is to make them look even older by altering the colour structure of her pictures and make them black and white, something like a real photo being taken in the 1900s, except for the ten minute development and the sideplates.
Each of these pictures being printed came through a studio's projection by using a special machine to print photos onto photo paper, the photos being printed onto the paper is a special paper that feels thicker then paper and it's shinier than paper.

Alejandro Chaskielberg: The Hunter

Esteban Pastorino Diaz: Francisco Salamone

Fashion Photography

Application:
Fashion Photography is a type of photography that takes pictures of people wearing the most exotic of all clothing, sometimes it can be casual clothes in exotic locations, Adolf De Meyer, born on the first of september 1868, was the first editor of Vogue Magazines in America during the early 20th century.
Adolf's style of fashion resembles as the clothes the people use to wear at the time, there were elegance within each photo he took.

Adolf De Meyer





Cecil Beaton

Cecil Beaton had started his photography in the 1930s, he created fantastical and elabrote photos with quirky surroundings, more like a dream world.
Cecil Beaton also took pictures of Twiggy, a famous model during the 1960s, at that era, it was more fun with more colours and more flesh





















George Platt Lynes

George Platt Lynes is a photographer of power, taming nature to work at his expecttations, like being infulenced by dancing, showing off all flesh and nudity

The fashion photography shoot might be more concerned about shooting clothes with a certain colour, like an autumn type they woulod choose red, orange, yellow, brown and gold.
They might also be concerned about texture.
The difference between advertising or a fashion shoot, advertising would be less controversial as it can appear anywhere whereas a fashion shoot would have more scope to do different things, it is produced for magazines aimed at a certain age range so thye would are allowed to be a bit more controversial.




Techniques:
In the early years of fashion photography a 10x8 camera was used.
The technology infulenced the style of each photo.
Everything took a long time.
There wasn't an instant image because it took one whole hour to process and the negative had to be developed and fixed, but the final image was more mystical and more classical then the digital image.

Today images from digital cameras are instant, but a lot of digital manipulation takes place, the manipulation would be from Photo Shop, make-up is another form of manipulation because a natural face would appear to photographer as an ugly eyesore so they would hire make-up to fix the subject's face.
Lighting can be a little bit of manipulation because they can alter your shadows and fix the hot lights into the position that the photographer would like them to be, finally the choice of models is the most important one of all, whatever subject you want to do must be of someone with a profile, physic and poise, as well as the being the subject that you want to do, although some photographers would choose a subject of anyone or anything they want.

Context:
Magazines: The manipulation on magazines are not common, but every so often, they would try to alter a fashion photo's real subject so they could get more to get more attention from their readers.
Billboards: Billboards are hard to say when that person is next to another subject like advertsing for a product.
TV Commercial: Might record a person's face or body, then alter the person's apperence by using computers.
Fashion Books: Fashion books has plenty of altering because there plenty of make-up, lighting, editing on computers by making that person look skinny or make their chest look bigger or wider.

Portraitures

Richard Avedon

Larry Clark Diane Arbus

Application:
A portrait is a photo that contains a face and a background, historically they were traditional artwork from artists being paid by rich people, but years had passed and now it's owned by a photographer.
Photographers like Joel Meyerouitch took his photos of oridinary people in New York's Central Park everyday during the 1960s, also in 1960s Diane Arbus was in New York taking photos.
In 1969 she photographed the Matthaei family, they were a rich family.
The photos that Diane took weren't really flattering but were interesting, the photo of the Matthaei daughter, called Marcella, shows her face being on the verge of adolescence.

Richard Avedon was a photographer who took photos during the 1950s until 2004, he put control behind his camera, in his photoshoots he shows emotion and movement on divine people and on people that reflects his opinion.

Larry Clark is a photo journalist who took photos of his everyday life and he also published a book in 1971, it was a simple title called Tulsa, it was pictures of nudity and sex, people taking drugs and guns at the ready, this was the reality of the world he lived in.

Context:
Historically you would see portraits in palaces and wealthy people's houses, whereas today you can see them in Art Galleries, in newspapers, magazines, Facebooks, famous faces on T-shirts, portraits on coffee jars, ID card of who you are and what you look like and finally, advertisments of the famous faces and the unknown sites.

Techniques:
The lighting on each and every photograph depends upon your surrounding environment, like the inside, you would need artificial lighting for a personal photoshoot of a portrait, whereas the outside you can use the natural light from the sun to project a picture that is unknown to us, for example, the back light would be the surrealistic version of a shadow walking the earth.
Diane Arbus used to whisper to her subjects to come closer and capture the photo.

Overexposure: It's a form of using too light and not enough shadows.

Underexposure: It's a form of using too much shaodws and not enough light.

Reflection: It's a form of using shaodw and ligh togehter while looking at the alternative version of your subject.

photo journalism

Application
Under application it is important to discuss the history of this type of photography and to use examples form past and present.
Where there any major dates or events that moved this style forwards?
Are there any individual people that have influenced this type of photography?
I think photojournalism is the exploitation of everyday life, revealing the truth about the world.
Henry Cartier-Bresson was the godfather of Photojournalism, his surealism was always on the mark at that decisive moment. Decisive moment is to time the capture of the moment, in 1933 he took the first decisive moment photo at Paris Station. The photo was described to be a man jumping over a huge puddle and making ripples, it caught the moment. This photo could only have been taken because of the new Leica camera, which was developed in Germany in 1925.
Robert Capa was a photojournalist, he was noted to have taken a photo iof a spanish man being shot in 1936, in the Spanish Civil War. His rules of being a photographer is one to get close and two to get closer, he captures reality while risking his life and limb. He chose which battles to go to to photograph, where as Tony Vaccaro was a soldier in the 1940s, who carried a camera into war, his photos were close to the action.

Context
Under the context section list and describe each of the contexts that we the audience consume this style of image. Context is the way the photographs are displayed for example fashion photographs are displayed in magazines as well as billboards. It is important when discussing this section that you mention important changes for each context through history.
Capa's photos were taken for magazines, but Vacarro just took the photos as he saw them throughout the battle, unfortunately for him, lots of his photos were destroyed as they showed the negative side of war

Techniques
Are there any techniques utilised to create images of this type? For example the way the picture is Taken, Processed, Displayed or manufactured?
How has the change in technology through history altered or changed the way that photographs of this style are produced?
The Leica Camera was a compact quiet camera, developed in Germany in the year 1925.
Before the Leica, it took up to three minutes to take the photo and people could move in and out of shot-no way to capture a decisvie moment.
It's handheld and the position of the viewing window left the other eye free to view the world and therefore able to know when to take the photo that would capture the moment-the decisvie moment.
Tony Vaccaro had a stardard issue called a Speed Garphic Camera but it wasn't good enough so he used a Argos 3C. He developed his photos in the battlefield using found chemicals and soldier helmets and he hung the negatives on tree branches,

What I hope from Photography

What I hope to achieve from this course would be to understand about what makes better photos and taking better photos.
