Lens based media: A1 picture

Week 3 - Monday

To start Monday and the first day of Lens Based Media Tom gave us a talk on the many different aspects that come under LBM. After break we were all given A1 pieces of paper and had to draw one of the pictures that we brought in.

This task was quite fun as we had a lot of time to complete it so I could spend some time on making it look good. However, drawing on the floor was not the most comfortable thing as it was quite difficult draw a big picture at that level.

At the end of the day we had to walk around college and the surrounding areas to try to take pictures of six words, these words were:

Crush

Fall

Happy

Sad

Echo

Jump

Crush: This picture was one of the first ones that I took. Straight away the stones crushing the soil and the roots beneath just seemed like the perfected picture to depict the feeling of being crushed.

 Fall: This picture was taken from the inside of a lift as the doors opened. I have a great fear of using lifts which is why I my fall picture was taken here as I always feel like I am falling to the ground.

Happy: The word fantastic I believe symbolizes happy very well along with the use of the colour and font that is used for within this picture.

Sad: For depicting the emotion of sad, I took a picture of a wall. I feel that when you are down and sad you always feel like you are at a brick wall as you can never seem to find a way forward.

Echo: The noise of the repetitive drops going in to the drain sounded like an echo in the background which is why I used it to depict echo.

   Jump: Last but not least for jump I used my wet foot prints on the floor so symbolize the motion of jumping on to two feet.

At first whilst being given the task of taking the picture I thought that it was going to be a really hard take to do. However once i got started it turned out quite easy. My favourite out of the six pictures that I took is definitely Jump, as I think the idea and layout of the picture is really good.
