Over the past 6 weeks i have created my blog and done plenty of research towards the band photography aspect. The aim was to capture the development of Band Identity and my blog helps to show how i am developing this, for example adding photos i have taken and photos others have taken (research). I can also add videos of my own or other bands from you tube.
I have taken a series of my own images in the studio and also taken images from the web from artists who specialize in band photography, i have taken ideas from this work and incorporated it into my own work and photos. We took the music video from Vampire Weekend called A Punk and created our own similar version using 3 guitars, a microphone and a camera. This video worked very well and is an important piece in our research because it allows us to compare the two and see how we can improve.
We can also use the blog to see how our other group members are doing and to compare our work to others enabling to develop our ideas more. The blog site is also used for our tutors to see our progress and add comments to our work.
I think so far the whole project has gone very well, i enjoy working practically and having things to show for my work i produce, i haven't experienced any major problems within my work and i now just need to improve things a little bit to create better photos and videos.
Hi
ReplyDeleteYour evaluation is good in that it tells me your thoughts, ideas and intentions for next time and what you need to do to improve. You say you need to research more and look at more influences, look for more fashion portrait and music industry photographers with lots of their images as well to help and inspire you, then try a similar style shoot yourself then compare the outcomes.
