I have turned this image 90 degrees since I wrote about it last time. This was because my other two images are landscape and I needed to make them a series and make them work. This works better as landscape because it looks more effecting and it looks like the broken glass is sticking up. This doesn't have to be known it was a door it could be perceived as a windscreen. It is just a panel of glass which is being broken by the heel.
I choose this image because it symbolises my main themes, which is teenagers rebelling. This is what I think of when people ask me to say my view of society. The news represented teenagers as negative people always doing things wrong - 87 % of all news about teenagers is negative. So no wonder why this is my view when it comes to society today. The way this represents teenagers rebelling is by the use of heels and the way that it is breaking through the glass and cracking it.
By editing it in black and white it makes the image look simple, however it gives the glass texture and the heel stand out and be the main focus.
This image I had some issues with when it came to printing. I wanted to print it on A4 however it was slightly to big so I had to crop the side with the bottles, to make the cigarette (which is the main focus) be able to stay on the page and be whole. This didn't worry me as my main focus was to be on the cigarette and the bottle just wanted to be a notion instead of another aspect.
I chose this image because it strongly represents all three of my themes. Teenagers rebelling, a tea party and also Union Jack. The way it represents teenagers rebelling is; the tattoo on the models arm, the cigarette and the drink on the left side. Also to emphasise this, the pose the model is in, where she is laid on the floor 'passed out'. The way that it represents the Union Jack is by all the props I have used. The floor, and balloons are red. The balloons and walls are blue. The top of the cigarette is white. All of this is complimented by the use of all three colours in the bunting and paper chains. The way that the tea party is represented is by the balloons, because they always remind you of your childhood and the splodges on the wall. Also the use of paper chains remind me of my childhood.
The reason why these three themes are my personal view of society are because, like I said above for the teenagers they are portrayed in a negative light and nearly every day in the news for doing something discriminative. The reason why a tea party reminds me of our society is because, more when you were a child but you always used to have them with your teddies. As well Britain is knows for drinking tea and elevensies. This is a high representation of Britain. The reason why I chose to use the Union Jack is because it's the flag of Britain and not so well respected however I personally feel it should be because it is part of our identity, from living here. I haven't use the Union Jack flag in any of my images because I wanted it to be more subtle than that. This is the reason why I have only used the colours (Red white and blue.) I have also only used these colours for the props so they are subtle however still there.
I edited this image with a lighting effect so the main focus was on the cigarette and the models tattoo. This was so it relates back to my theme and my exam question of personal view of society. I also increased the contrast between colours so the theme of the Union Jack could come through stronger.
This is my third and final image in this sequence. I wanted to print this one in A3 and place it at the top to be a bold statement. However I wanted all 3 images to be printed on glossy photo paper, so they could be as higher slandered as possible and look professional. In school we do not have a printer which could do this and print out in A3 and on photo paper, so it either had to be A3, normal paper or A4 glossy paper. I went for A4 so I could have the professional style and look to it. This wasn't to bad because it meant all of my images are the same size as one another.
Since I last wrote about this all I had to do was slightly crop the top section of this as you could see a little bit of the ceiling in the top left hand corner.
The way that this image represents my themes are the same as above. Teenagers rebelling by the pose of the model on the floor and the main focus - the heels. The way that the Union Jack is represented is by the colours of the paper chain, the floor, the walls, the splodges on the walls and the balloons. There isn't really anything that represents the kid's party apart from the benches.
I haven't edited this image apart from the slight bit of cropping, because I didn't need to as the blurred depth of field did all that I needed it to.
