So today is Friday, which means it's the start of my weekend (I only go to college Monday to Thursday). Today I was hoping to spend the whole day doing research for my new college project where we have been asked to illustrate three book covers. But I haven't particularly been in the mood to do research today, so instead I decided to do some photography work and think of photo-shoot ideas I want to do as I haven't done any for a while now. It made me think of my previous work done and reminded me of my Light and Shadow photography project I had in my second year of 6th form and the films I made at the end of it as a sort of 'final piece'. So I have decided to share those with you today. I'm not allowed them on my Facebook page as the music over them isn't mine and they get deleted almost immediately, which is a bummer! But I am allowed them on Youtube, and therefore allowed them on here.
This first one is the first film I made for this project. The dancer is my friend Grace Williams, who is a beautiful dancer and made this dance up on the spot! Which may be easy for dancers like her, but as a non-dancer, I just thought it was pretty amazing also considering she had never even heard the song before! I used 2 large studio lights either side of a stage and had a gauze in front of her, so her shadows showed up when she went close to the lights or the gauze. The song is Fall by Ed Sheeran and as I previously said, it is not my song, I don't own it (not sure if that actually makes a difference for copyright stuff but lets hope it does and I am allowed to keep it on here!). When watching them both, I advise you to make them full screen as they are easier to see and have a better impact on the viewer.
This is the second film I made, again using Grace as a model. In my project I had previously taken images of the nude body with dramatic lighting therefore giving it dramatic shadows and was really pleased with the results. After doing that, I was watching TV and saw a perfume advert that reminded me of my images. This is where the idea for my film came from. You will notice it has a sort of 'perfume advert feel' to it, which is what I was aiming for. The song is Slow Down by Morcheeba and again, I do not own it, etc.
Hope you liked them! xxx
(p.s. After deleting my Youtube account, my videos didn't show up on here any more after sharing this post, so I tried again on my new account which again didn't work, so you'll have to click on the link to see the video rather than watching it on my blog).
