Comparing this module to my last hand in, I am much happier with the result. I feel that the work has come together and the way I am presenting it works well with the concept. Putting the work into a book worked well for me as it gave it a much more personal feel than …

Video – Test Clips
I used a simple black and white theme for the quote, linking with the black studio setting that I have used for the both the photos and video clips. The text appears fairly small, giving the impression of being isolated and alone – all feelings linked to mental illness. I experimented with blood dripping down …
Video Storyboard
Now that I have completed my book, I am going to focus on the video part of my hand in. In my first hand in of this module, I feel I focused to much on the video and because of this the photos became an after thought. I was aiming to make the video around …
Drowning – Test Images
After producing the rose images submerged in water, I produced a self portrait image to go in the series. Where a lot of the others self portrait images I will be putting into the book show my face, I wanted to produce one that wasn’t so obvious. Showing simply a hand, gives the impression of …
Rose in Water – Test Images
Although I experimented with roses and using the ‘blood’ in a similar way to the thorns, I felt the concept worked better with the thorns. I was left, however, still wanting to use the roses so experimenting with submerging them in water. I wanted each photograph in the seres to submerge to rose more as …
Test Video – Rose
As part of my video I want to put together clips that link the photos within the book. For this video clips I focused on the drip of the ‘blood’. I experimented with reversing the video as well, and although I might not play it directly after the normal video, this is a concept I …
Test Images – Roses
As well as photographing the thorns with ‘blood’, I also experimented with doing the same effect on the roses. At the moment I have only experimented on the yellow rose, and although I like the concept I feel the yellow doesn’t work. It not only clashes with the red but also the green of the …
Thorns – Test Images
After being inspired by the work of Frida Kahlo, I experimented with the idea of blood and thorns. With the first image in the series I unintentionally formed a ‘cross’ shape when places the thorn which although subtle and maybe not noticeable to most people, links with the religious connotations that I spoke about in …
Creating the book
Above is photo sequencing for the next sections of photos within the book. The dandelion images were all shot this week, while the self-portraits were taken for the first hand in of this module. I wanted both the photos of the dandelion and the self portraits to show deterioration. Although I am currently using the …
Roses – Test Images
As a way to destroy them, I want to set fire to a rose for my next series of photographs. I took photos of the roses while they were still closed to see what colour I thought worked best against the background. I felt that the yellow worked the worse, with the yellows petals and …
