Assignment 2
Image 1
I want to use a house across the road that I look at everyday. I like it because it has a subtle gothic feel with black and white furnishings and floral iron gates and door frames. I'd like to use a giant collectible figurine of a spider and edit it on to the top of the house.

I like the idea of traditional family portraits and keeping with the theme of fear and creatures I'd like to edit it a figurine of Predator either as part of the family or walking past in the background as if the photographer happened to catch it in the serene family moment.
Assignment 3
The concept of a narrative kind of scared me because I was afraid I wouldnt be able to come up with an interesting enough story. While looking at the figurines for my other assignment I saw a large Wolf Man figurine, and I thought why i cant use some one Elise's story. Since I love reading and watching movies, and find classic monster stories really interesting, I'm really looking forward to creating it into a photographic series.

ARTIST WHO WORK WITH SPIDERS:
After looking into artists who work with spiders i found there is a lot of ways in which you can document something - some can be very artistic where there is a lot of focus on the pose of the insect/spider , the eyes and legs. Other photographs are scientific documentations of a species showing the whole body of an insect. Another type is somewhere in the middle - images that can be used for licenced representation eg magazines for nature, or gardening. They are a stock pile of images for companies to use that are informative yet visually interesting.
Photographers such as M Plonsky, Alex Wild, Frank Philips, Dennis Crawford, Steve Gsuchmeisser.
A lot of which use Marco and SEM - Scanning Electron Microscope to magnify the specimen by a million in order to get a detailed image.
Dennis Crawford - has his own company titled "Graphic Science" - specialist in insect Photography. he sees it as a insect image library that companies can come to and use.
Because spiders are feared and scary this is defiantly something I'd like to convey - however with experimentation I need to decide if its best to have the spider in a background as if it were a cheerful image (blue skies sunny day) which would be unexpected or to change the lighting and have clouds and a dark and eerie atmosphere.
I also worry that because the subject isn't actually real - it might take away from the image - but on the other hand it also could add to the image - so long as it looks like its meant to be there. the crispness of the digital picture might contrast against the figurines plastic appearance.
The spider figurine i plan to use is based on the spider from Lord of the Rings - Shelob. The spider in this movie is greatly fear and id liek to recreate that in my image.
An artist who's work I really loved is Adrian Markis who has a series called Invasion which consists of city scape's and giant animals taking over the city. Really photoshoped pieces, and you cant take your eyes of them - i felt it related to the task we have at the moment - making something unbelievably real.

Using a traditional family portrait of my family, Id like to put a Predator in the background. Having the portrait outside the house allows for the predator to sneak past. What spurred my inspiration for this piece, was the movie signs, how the aliens move without your knowledge, how they sneak around and you wouldn't even know - which is what i found most scary about that movie.
After researching on the Internet Isaw some of the original posters for the movie and found that i really liked them. The first image of the five i hope to create a grainy posterized poster for the wolf man - something that doesnt look modern- today everything is so clean and crisp making something look like its from the 40s will be an exciting task.
However I have a few key ideas for frames - to convey that the man is turning - show an eye bulging red, irises dilated. eerie feeling. i found that even in movies such as harry potter this is a typical shot of how they convey the change from one form to another.
I'd like to take some shots of the full moon which is next on April 18th. and use the brightness to create a silhouette of the wolf man - either on his own of attacking a female. Which Ive noticed- the wolf man is always sort of carrying a beautiful woman and he attacks her. this i think would be a key frame in the series.
I think next I should watch the movies and read some books about the story to get a correct background knowledge and then see what i come up with next.
