Ideas
- The use of stop motion. Stop motion has become even easier and accessible since the use of recent mobile technology like apps, all it takes is a click of a button and you can create your own stop motion movie.
2. The use of slow motion. Slow motion has become increasingly popular due to the help of video sharing sites like YouTube. You might of heard about a YouTube channel named The Slow Mo guys who make fascinating slow motion videos. If you are wondering they use the phantom flex to shoot above 2500 fps and in 4k quality. But what is slow motion? well slow motion is slowing down video to emphasis something like a action or reaction.
3. The use of Gifs. Gifs are well known to those familiar to the internet. gif stands for graphics interchange format and they are a repeating short clip that is used to show an emotion or make people laugh.
4. the use of Pictures. the rawest form of photography its difficult to tell a story using one photo but can be very impressive.
5. The use of animation. Animation has become incredibly popular due to the work of places like Aardman animations. They have produced some great titles like Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Pirates. Animation is the technique of photographing continous drawings or positions of puppets or models to create an illusion of movement when the film is shown as a sequence.
6. The use of Joiners. Joiners were created by David Hockney who made a sort of collage with images which became to be known as joiners.
The use of Short films. Short Films are usually shown before movies and tell a simple story. the most recent short films are by companies like Disney.

Holiday Shoot: A Journey
This photoshoot was based off of the idea of sequencing images to show a journey. My journey was when I took a trip to Sandbanks on the bank holiday. I think the shoot went well because we had good weather meaning each photograph had good lighting. However sometimes trying to take a photo was difficult because of the amount of people. I often noticed that to get a good shot you would have to wait for it to become quetier.
First Shoot Plan
For my first shoot I want to use the idea of things becoming real or imitations. I Have come to the decision that is should eather use a car crash or war and how its real. I think war is a good idea because there will be the holding of the invictus games for millitary personal who risked their lives. Also my Grandfather joined the navy at the same age as me so i could also think of the more personal side. Or to do about freedom
and how it should be respected.
