Work Diary - Shoot 6

Evaluation:

This shoot took place at an old deserted building called Minsden chapel. I had done some previous research on this place and found it to be a more then appropriate for what I wanted to do. Minsen chapel is well known for being a historical spot in the UK where supposedly a ghost resides. This ghost is apparently seen as a monk who wonders around the grounds of the chapels ruins. I wanted a spooky feel to this so visited at dusk. To get the lighting effect I wanted I used off camera flash. I used 2 Pocket Wizard Wireless Transceivers one attached to a flash gun and one on the camera hot shoe. The exposure for all these shots was 160th Second at f2.8 ISO6400. It was dark during most of the shoot so I had to manually focus the camera.  I really pushed the ISO but the grain caused by this only added to the effect.

Here we see I had the flash on the other side of the wall pointing though the hole. This created and interesting effect because it caused there to be lots of light on a concentrated area of the building. This meant that the shadows surrounding the outer rim of the image stayed in shadow which caused there to be an interesting contrast between the light and dark.

Here we see one of my super-imposed images where I have put the model from the previous shoot into the archway in the chapel. This creates an interesting image of a shadowy figure in the archway of the chapel.

Progression:
For my next shoot I have decided that I am going to shoot people though a sheet of latex. This is because it creates an interesting image that shows a fear most people have of not being able to break though something and being stuck.

In this image there is a person pushing though a sheet of latex where you can see the outline of there face and hands and the stretch of the latex around them.

Here we see a scene from 'Aliens' where the main character has an alien coming though her stomach pushing against the skin in the same way that I would have someone pushing against the latex.
