Applying Techniques to produce Digital Images


Me, Myself and I
For this one i wanted to do something different, rather than just have 10 me's standing around a room. To make it a challenge i decided to have all the bodies interlocking and touching. This made height and perspective very important. As my camera was going to sydney for the duration of this assignment i had to get the photographs done within three days, before it left. This proved to be difficult as it rain none stop for those three days. I decided toset up studio inside and take to photo's there, controlling all the elements and lighting. As there was no directional lighting, just a white wash, i could choose to put myself into any photo and re-create the light that was needed, so i decided to go with a simple city street, with all the colour washed out and make the 10 interlocking me's the focal point.
A Brush with Fame
For this part of the assignment, I wanted myself to blending in but at the same time stand out. Rather than just putting my shoulders up into the background of a paperazzi photo, i decided to add myself to a cast shot, . Here I could create the double take element that i was going for, he second look because i don't really belong there once you notice who i am and who i'm with.
Underwater
For this i wanted to do something a little bit abstract and alternative. having to include forty different things made my start think of the children's " I Spy" books, and so i set out to re-create my own version of one.
My forty items:
  1. Love
  2. Clouds
  3. Flying Machine
  4. Hot Air Balloon
  5. Kids swinging
  6. Fish

Jaffy Chef (CSU)

My friend over at the Uni is doing a remake of Master Chef for the first year television production students and asked me to re create the logo with a J instead of an M.
So here it is, on it's own and below is the open credits.








Alexander Peirce

So... he's the background to the shoot that i went to on Monday and Tuesday.

Pearce led an escape from Macquarie Harbour Penal Settlement and became notorious for cannibalising his fellow escapees as they travelled through the West Coast of Tasmania.[1]

Pearce escaped with seven other convicts: Alexander Dalton, Thomas Bodenham, William Kennerly, Matthew Travers, Edward Brown, Robert Greenhill and John Mather. Kennerly and Brown voluntarily gave themselves up and were taken back to the settlement, where they died in the prison hospital from disease and malnutrition. Pearce and the others continued without them.[1]

Pearce was eventually captured near Hobart and confessed that he and the others had cannibalised each other over a period of weeks, he being the last survivor. Pearce and Greenhill had been the final two, each struggling to stay awake for days out of fear the other would kill him. Greenhill finally nodded off and Pearce killed him with an axe, then eating him. Pearce made it to the settled districts, being sheltered by a convict shepherd until he was captured several months later. The Hobart magistrate did not believe Pearce's cannibalism story and was convinced the others were still living as bushrangers. Pearce was returned to Sarah Island.[3]

Within a year he escaped a second time, joined by a young convict named Thomas Cox. Pearce was captured within ten days. His captors found parts of Cox's body in Pearce's pockets, even though he still had food left. Pearce confessed that he had killed Cox because he was a hindrance to him. Pearce was taken to Hobart, where he was tried and convicted of murdering and cannibalising Thomas Cox. He was hanged at the Hobart Town Gaol at 9am on 19 July 1824, after receiving the last rites from a priest.[1]


So after two flat tires, clutch problems and a trip to the mechanic, four out of the five cars made it to remote Victoria....3 hrs behind schedule.

The whole project is s documentary, but here we were just shooting the dramatizations.

And now the picies!!
