We were to create a variety of freeze frames for a photographer that came in. Our first stimulus was:
Romeo and Juliet:
Our first freeze was to show a fight scene so Jake and Chris was to show the violence between two sides. Because this was a freeze frame they needed to show a lot more emotion in there face as there was no movement, so it could only be showed through body language and facial expression. Ciara and Emily were to show how it was an almost unwanted battle, by being the people trying to stop and pull them apart. I was a dead person to show that murder had already taken place and that is was a serious fight that had already affected people.
I really liked the lighting we used for this as well, as it meant that it showed each side in a different colour which created an idea of good or bad. You can also see Emily’s face in this image a lot more. I really like how it shows more than just ‘stop fighting please’ but also suggests that’s she’s trying to make Chris question his actions like ‘is it worth it?’ I think Jakes look shows the clear determination he has to kill Chris where as Chris’s shows how he is more defending that attacking.
Our second freeze frame was showing a more important figure entering - Matt - and with him a guard - Kelly. We did this to show the reaction of the two fighters when they came in.
Our third freeze frame was a remake of our ‘burden’ image but to fit the situation of Romeo’s love for Juliet and the difficulties of being from different families. We looked in different directions. Ciara looked up to show hope, I looked down to show the frustration of holding back the emotion.
Then we looked at Slavery:
We used a tower structure to show how slavery had trapped us all. Me and Chris we more partly out but had the end of chains around are wrists. This was a way to show how even though we were partly out, we were still being attached to the slavery as if it was really hard to escape from. Jake and Ciara we sat on the top of this to give it levels and create a better overall image. Kelly and Matt we sat nearer the floor, you could only see Matt’s face through the gap Kelly left for him, which gave the image a denser feel. We were at first told to look down to show the sadness and depression of the image. This was good and created a interesting image. However, when we were told to look up at a certain point, it showed how we were still holding on, as if there was hope. This created a bigger impact from the image because then me and Chris could pull more on the chains and it then looked more as if we were trying to escape the slavery trap.
