Photography Evaluation.
My assignment was to make a creepy advert for my Freak or Unique project We are doing in Photography.  the images that inspired me where some of the pictures that I had to find in week 2 during research, I looked at surrealist pictures to see how weird they where and then pictures of a foot in the shape of a high heel, I also looked at freaky children toys and defective toys to see how I could make mine look creepy. The High heel that I looked at during research for my project had unique characteristics because it was a foot in the shape of a high heel, I also looked a picture of a man with his hands on his face but his facial features where on his hands which was strange. there was also a picture of a mouth open but instead of seeing the inside of the mouth there was a path /alley leading somewhere else.

My original Idea was to design a creepy advert for face painting so I could make it look scary I was going to use a mannequin head, face paint and wax to make things stand out. I wasn't able to get my hands on everything on time so I had to change my Idea to what I did for my end product which was A creepy version of build a bear called create a toy where I used A already creepy teddy bear and a high heel but on to the bottom of it.

What I took into account. I didn't need a location or a model, I just needed props and equipment and time. Time was easy I just had to do it class when we had the cameras out. Props where the 6 objects to take of photos to be brought in and the equipment I need to use would be a red head lamp Tripod camera display board and A3 paper to use as a background.

For the final shots I edited them so the lighting was better and that there wasn't as much background showing, I did this by changing the Levels and Curves so the it looked brighter and cleaner. We also cropped it.  with some of the \shots I couldn't adjust them much because some of the items would stand out enough and would just blend in with the background.
Four Edited shots


 With all for of these edited photos I adjusted the curves and levels so they looked cleaner I also cropped them all so that not as much background was showing.












Final Product





















What would I do differently
I would try to make it look a bit smother so It wasn't as rough around the edges and looked a bit cleaner. I also learn't that I need to get items far in advance so I have them to edit and not have to improvise last minute and change the idea all together.

In my opinion It fits the assignment brief but it doesn't fit the original proposal because I wasn't able to get my hands on the necessary items on time so I had to change the idea to the current one.
