FMP Proposal
What has influenced me?
I have found that many different things have influenced me through out the course. Such as; film, photography and animation. The research that we did on photography and different types and methods have influenced me the most as my preference is to take pictures. Throughout the research process I looked at different styles and themes that artists specialise in, in particular street photography, that are both candid and wide angle. This style of photography is what has influenced me the most and what I would like to concentrate on the most in my own work. Street photographers like 9Shots and Anne Delany are artists i take most of my inspiration from when it comes to my own street photography or industrial styled images. I prefer more so, black and white photographs due to the fact you are able to see a better tone and contrast within the photo, street photography is typically taken in black and white as it leaves mystery to the audience or the person who is viewing the image.

What have I made and learnt?
From my previous projects I have created a few different pieces in order to find my strengths and weakness on the course. I first created a short film, using different editing software such as; imovie and premiere pro with a range of different techniques and features; I liked this in particular as i liked the concept of taking short clips and editing each clip differently and putting it together to portray a story.When i took the candid photographs I looked for a range of different locations to try out different tones, contrasts, themes and positions; to which are shot at different angles. I edited some of these photographs in adobe photo shop in order to remove certain parts of the photograph out. Ive also created a four stage walk cycle and background in order to create a short animation. I created the walk cycle first by drawing out the four stages before then scanning it into the computer and drawing onto the outline to create an animated walk cycle in photo shop. The background was also created in photo shop before transferring both the walk cycle and the background into adobe after effects to created the full animation.

What skills of my own practise and learning can I develop further?
As part of my FMP I would like to specialise in photography and film therefore I feel that I would like to expand and develop my skills and techniques with using the camera and the different settings within in order to produce better and improved images. My main focus and areas of development that i would like to improve on are; control of lighting and techniques within lighting, developing my composition to create improved pieces, expanding my editing of photographs on Photo shop and film in premier pro, by using different filters to contrast in tone, light, shadows, brightness and exposure.
CONCEPT
Initially for my FMP I have three different concepts that I am contemplating working on, the first idea being photography that is focused on industrial imagery and decay- primarily focusing on abandoned buildings and graffiti. The second concept is a short film focused on fashion- an art film. Finally my last concept for my FMP is documentary photography- following a story or adventure on a specific person.
What do I intend to make?
From the three initial concepts that I have contemplated, I have toyed around with the idea of videography and photography. I intend to create a book, more specific an art book, that portrays all the images that I have taken. Showing a journey, focusing on my photography, where the photograph was taken, the time of the image and the person whom is in the shot. The book / magazine should be a documentation of each image, all put together logging each individual piece creating an photography portfolio. I intend to create more of a substantial hard copy for my images in order to showcase my composition in the best possible way, making my portfolio more visually and aesthetically appealing.
What is the theme to my project?
The theme for my photography renders from my interest in street art and photography surrounding everyday life. I love the idea of capturing images when they are least expected, capturing people and the public within out them even realising- I find that this is the best possible way to capture the most sincere and candid moments. Through out my time on my media course; the primary and secondary research that I have undertaken has always lead me back to the idea of decay and abandonment. The story behind the imagery. Abandoned buildings and graffiti is what I find myself fascinated by the most, what has happened in order for a building to look the way it is portrayed now within an image? these are the questions I strive for my own audience to ask when they look at my images. Therefore for the theme of my project my main focus is to look into the decay of buildings, graffiti and street photography all together to create a portfolio that looks at the art of decay.
What contemporary films, games ,designers and artists have inspired and influences me for this project?
Artists such as Banksy who primarily focus on the creation of street art and graffiti are a major influence to both myself and other street artists. Banksy is an anonymous England based graffiti artist who's work demonstrates the political and social commentary; his work has been featured on the streets, walls and bridges of cities in the UK and throughout the world. I like the way that Banksy influences others to create there own street art using the fact that his work is anonymous to his advantage. What inspires me the most about Banksy's work is the fact that he uses objects and creates images around his surroundings. This is something I would like to create myself and take photographs of for my FMP. I take the majority of my inspiration from other street photographers such as '9shots', Gary Winogrand, Lee Jeffery's, Boogie and Anne Delany. I love the candid and street imagery that these artists manage to capture within their images.
EVALUATION
Self-assessment
Peer Assessment
In order to peer assess another member of my class who is also on my course looked through my course work in order to see what work I needed to improve on and complete and progress I had already made. Positive comments: Started photography work for FMP and edited some of them. Areas to improve; Finish blog post work, proposal and Evaluation.
