Hello. I thought that i’d begin by telling you a little bit about the my FMP, so i’ve decided to paste the project brief describing my ideas and how I will go about creating and developing this further.
‘The Other Version’ is a self-initiated project, working towards the production of a blurb book containing sections of 6-12 nursery rhymes and fairy tales, yet the uncensored versions before Disney. I hope to photograph these versions of the stories as a real life scene compared to the Disney cartoon, bringing the images to life. The book idea relates to a fairy story book that can be read to a child, yet has been re-edited double fold for adults, leaving the possibility for huge experimentation. This project will help to extend my knowledge, understanding and creative ability through the development of new and existing skills including, studio work, using equipment on location, the format of photography and learning medium format as well as developing my skills on Photoshop during post production of my images.
My initial influence came from the increasing number of ‘re-made’ films such as Snow White and the Huntsman, as well as Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. I would like to select individual nursery rhymes or fairy stories that I can re-create, narrowed down to plausible and choices given the model, costumes and location. Contextual references include Roald Dahl books, Brothers Grimm and the author of the original Disney stories (before editing). These are relevant to my ideas as they all show a twist in response to a childish fairy story. I intend to research subject areas such as nursery rhymes, fairy stories (original and Disney) and the idea of a children’s story being derived from a horror. Sources of information include books containing the stories themselves and the original versions (possibly found on the internet) as well as the re- makes of particular films for inspiration.
I intend to experiment with both film and digital processes, possibly using the technique of cyanotypes or warm tone paper for a sepia effect, as oppose to Photoshop. This could help me explore and develop my ideas due to the controversy that a new version is being seen in an old, film, sepia format. I would like to compare processes both on location and in the studio for the desired effect; therefore using studio lighting and natural lighting outside, yet post production will allow me to use Photoshop for further experimentation. As we have 11 weeks to complete this project, I have planned my journey from week to week with the use of a tick list including idea generation/development, shoots, and evaluation.
Initially and on-going, I will use personal, detailed evaluations of my work and then I will create feedback sheets for other students/tutors to comment on my work for criticism and possible improvements. Continuing evaluation, I can add tasks to my time schedule tick list. My method of evaluation is similar for each task with a series of questions to be answered about each point. In addition to this, I will also display a comment book at my final exhibition to gather a critical response and include a supporting statement at the end of my project to ensure critical analysis.
