FINAL PROPOSAL

Design 4 Media FALL 2011 ; Outline


When given this project the first thought that came to mind was the idea of making my own kaleidoscope lens. I had come across a variety of images that have had this kaleidoscope effect on them and had been wondering how one could produce those kind of images without the help of photo shop. Since I love creating and working with my hands, I feel like this would be the perfect series to explore with in class.

I want this series to be of 5 or more different models to play with the idea of dressing up ; I want it to be fashion inspired and that's whether it is with costume (wigs, face paint, costume props) or going out for the night to dance and party. I want to use a lot of color, purple, pink, teal, yellow etc. I want my models to wear a lot of make-up or jewels ; I want it to be an exciting piece and maybe even have a new years feel to it ; Because of the kaleidoscope effect you will have a skewed perception like one is a little tipsy which would go perfectly for the theme.




Week 1 ; Nov. 14th - 18th
gathering music and image inspiration through ; mood trying to convey, color, theme, idea, what I'm hoping to achieve. As well as gathering prisms and different colored diamonds to create my own kaleidoscope lens


Week 2 ; Nov.  21 - 25th
Have kaleidoscope lens or lenses made ; already out shooting with models with several different cameras ; 35 mm film cameras and digital ; explore with different types of color film to see which works best for what i'm trying to explore upon ; post what I have and where I need to improve or do differently


Week 3 ; Nov. 28th - Dec 2
Still experimenting but hopefully have already decided what camera works best between film examples and digital ; setting up more photo shoots ; explaining where I'm at and where I'm headed ; editing


Week 4 ; Dec. 5th - 9th
Post a preview of final images ; editing ;



Week 5 ; FINAL WEEK ; Dec. 12th - 15th 
Post all final images on blog

04

I struggled a lot with this assignment ; this would be my epic failure

I found it hard to meet with my models a second time but I tried to work with
what I had already taken, I think I needed more obvious clues that could relate
to the song or that the colors were more similar in the photos. I also think this
could have used a third or fourth panel...
