This is the final outcome. 35 images in a standard 35mm format. All street work and I decided to do something similar to a timeline so all the images are in chronological order and batched together loosely based on location. I did this because that's how standard film would be like. There wouldn't be any moving or selecting images in standard film. Also the film strips in the image are slightly off angled, not perfectly straight as this is similar to what it would be like when just laying out a film roll.

Creating the negative sheet

I start off by selecting an image and process it, to give it the image a certain look similar to what it would be like on an old disposable camera or an old film point and shoot. I did this by essentially turning the contrast down and bringing the highlights down and the shadows up in the raw processing window.





What I did then was add a noise filter to simulate film grain that you see on the old images.

I then duplicated the layer onto the correct document

I then resized the image to the traditional 35mm format (as close as I could) I did this so when the final image prints at a3 size the negatives should be the same size as standard 35mm format.

I then adjusted the image so it would fit into the 35mm template.

For the non raw images I took I used levels to create a similar effect as in the raw processing.

With some of the images, due to the wide end of the lens creating some distortion on the image (a slight fisheye effect at 16mm) I used a lens correction tool in photoshop when shooting architecture so it was more accurate as to what the building was actually like.

With some of the images shot at 16mm where I feel there wasn't too noticeable of distortion I didn't use a lens correction tool but there was quite a big vignetting effect. So here I cropped into the image and also rotated slightly as the image wasn't totally horizontal.

Just to experiment with an otherwise quite a boring image I decided to overlay one of my previous images, it's just an image of traffic hugely out of focus to capture these light spheres. I overlaid this and used the 'screen' layer style and turned the opacity to about 30%







Overall I think this went quite well, and I really like the outcome of the entire piece and does have a classic, vintage style. I haven't gone as far as inverting the images to make it look like actual film because then the images would loose huge amounts of quality and would be quite difficult to decipher what they are (being only 35mm big when printed) I am also thinking of doing a small a5 booklet of all the images.

miltiplicity

 Firstly you start off by loading the images into a stack, and if you feel as though the tripod may have moved then tick 'attempt to align...'

then click layer mask and paint over the subject with a black brush. nce fully erased invert (ctrl+i) and you will see the subject come back

once complete this process until all the subjects are in the shot.

For my shoot I am planning on creating a sheet of negatives within a traditional negative film format and printing them onto acetate  and then putting that infront of a lightbox.

 Similarly to these shots, my only concern is time and price, acetate could prove quite pricey and time consuming. However the outcome could work very well for the instillation I am doing. I was heavily inspired by Martin Parr's collection of Tomy Ray-Jones's images of England. Sadly I couldn't get an image of it due to copyright laws in the exhibition.

Lowkey with Text overlay

 To start with I took a low key image of the model using a single model light and a reflector to bounce some of the flash onto the other side of the face.

I then changed the image to black and white and lightened the red layer to soften the skin and remove any blemishes there might have been.

I then used the type tool to create a text box around the models face, I pasted some song lyrics into the box and wrapped the text to the right.

I tinkered with the different type settings (spacing, heading etc) to make the text a bit more compact together.

I rasterised the text once I was satisfied with the positioning and erased around the edges of her face to make the text only over the highlighted side of her face.

Project plan

My plan for this is to create this moving image, almost like a little snippet of reality. My images aren't going to be super exciting or super boring, it's just going to snapshot a part of everyday life that you always see. I am going to be displaying these as GIF file formats and have them on a loop playing on tablets or monitors.

I also have a second idea. Creating a colour negative contact sheet and showing them through a light box to display my images. This could be very interesting but also quite difficult because it would require me to take a lot of exposures to get the full effect, I would also have to fix the film to it didn't get any more exposed.

Evaluation Task

 I think I achieved my original intentions quite well, I tried to get a hi-detailed image of the model as she had interesting features like freckles all over. The images taken where composed the best I could keeping to a traditional portrait format (face and head central) and I decided to line up the eyes with the rule of thirds grid and made sure the eyes where in focus. The images are well exposed and straight. I tried to convey an innocent and natural look and how well it can look, with a sense of embracing your natural look and (in this case) exaggerating the freckles on her face. I think if i was to do this shoot again then I would have asked the model to remove all make up to furthermore exaggerate the natural and innocent look.
