Photography Project
Photo prompt: You are the school bully. Everyone on campus fears you; you are a menace and a terror.
In a few sentences, describe what you will photograph to respond to your photo prompt. (Note: Your photograph should have a human subject.) Also briefly discuss the overall look/feel/mood you are attempting.
We will take a photograph which portrays one of our group members as the bully, with the other members cowering in fear on the ground. We are attempting to give the photo a sense of intimidation, with the bully towering over the other students, and a sense of fear coming from the perspective of those being bullied.
2. Create a hand drawn version of your intended photograph. This must be shown to Reynolds by either Monday or Tuesday next week (9/30 or 10/1). Your photo should not be taken before your rough sketch is made.
3. With your intentions in mind, describe each of the following for your photograph:
Design
Lighting: Dark Shadows around most of the setting to emphasize the feeling of terror, as well as low lighting on the characters faces/bodies
Setting: School walkway because it portrays the classic bully trope within school
Costumes, hairstyles, makeup: Casual, teenager clothing as well as natural hair and no make up to convey the natural look of being in school
Props and decor: Lockers, school posters helps capture setting
Composition
Depth of composition (flat or deep): Flat
Point of view: POV of the bully looking down at his victims, the photo will be taken from the bully’s perspective
Implied distance from the subject (close-up, medium shot, long shot): Close to medium shot to show the emotions of terror on the faces of the people being bullied
Offscreen space: Limited off screen space to capture the shot in the best way possible,
Blocking: The two people on the ground cowering in fear in front of the bully help to emphasize they are in fear of the bully who is standing in front of them.
