This is a test shoot of my scene before my models came onto set:
American Beauty:
(Lester Burnham) I like this photograph because to the emotion in the characters face and body. However he just looks sad because the petals have fallen off the rose. You have no way of knowing why the person is sad other than the rose.
American Beauty:
(Ricky Fitts) This photograph is easier to read than the above American Beauty photograph. But because of this I think the photograph becomes too one sided, you get nothing back from the character.
American Psycho:
This is one of the best working photographs in the series. The relationship between the characters and the viewer works very well and so does the position of both characters.
Atonement:
This is another photograph that works on an emotional level. There is a very strong story line within this photograph that the viewer is quite easily able to read. The only problem is the character on the left hand side is a bit lost within the photograph, she is too hidden.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind:
These two photographs are starting to work quite well. However, I think there is not enough change within the two photographs. There needs to be a more dramatic change within the two photographs to make more of an impact to the viewer.
Fight Club:
I like the idea within this photograph but I think it looks too much like two different people and not one person and his alter ego. I think there only needs to be one person playing both characters so the viewer understands they are in fact the same person.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest:
This photograph isn’t quite where I want it to be. I think it is too readable and gives too much information away. More thought needs to go into this photograph.
Pulp Fiction:
This is meant to be the aftermath of an exciting scene, but it looks really boring. The female character is meant to have almost died but it looks like she is just waking up from having a sleep. This photograph needs to be more exciting.
Over all I am very pleased with how my photographs turned out. I think they are a good starting point and I will be able to further develop my ideas through theses photographs.
