Ideas about time project
I have two ideas for my time project and I would really love some insight on what anybody thinks is a better idea.
1. I was thinking about taking a picture of a building with no writing or doors on it in my home town. Just a big black wall that lies in the middle of my town with old falling out bricks in it and a little bit of my actual town in the background. I wanted to take that picture and print it out fairly big on regular paper and not the lusty kind so that when I photograph the photograph, it does not shine. I want to cut out three sets of silhouettes dancers. I want the first one to be two dancers holding hands and the girl have a poufy dress. They will waltz across the wall. The second one, I would like a guy holding a big radio on his shoulder coming through while another guy starts break dancing. For the last one, I am still not sure what I would want to do for todays dance culture, so ideas would be great help. And the reason this is important to me is because we used to have town dances where everyone would come out and dance to the different styles of music played. I wanted to show time through each era of dance.
2. My second idea was to take pictures of my own face evolving from having no make up on to having a lot of make up on. How I would do this was by slowly, one section at a time, putting on makeup to my face and taking a picture of it. This is important to me because I grew up with no make up as a child and I felt okay with that, but once I got older, I felt as if make up was a main necessity in my life. This shows time through the way girls evolve into these women that we know today through make up.
See what your group says. I think the first idea may be hard to pull off, the second seems easier. It may be less original (Dove commercials, etc. We see a lot about women Photoshopped, etc.), But, it is an aspect of yourself worth exploring. Remember, bring something new to the idea. think of a new way to shoot this, a new angle to keep it fresh.
