Obsession - Idea change again?

Right...

Okay after going through my latest idea I've come to the conclusion that I wouldn't have a lot of images and it could be short. HOWEVER, I shall still complete it because it could be a make a good final piece. So i'm going back to my obsession with writing. However, i may involve my travel obsession too.
My idea so far is to take snap shots and make a film with them. I would make a film of images running through a book (Not actually running). The book could go through all my obsessions, I want it to be colourful and interesting. I've even thought of making my own music for it. Go me. Another idea was to have me narrate it but I'm still not sure. I need to come up with a script/plan of what will go in the book then I can start filming and getting it all together.

Honestly.

Also, to stick with my photo ideas, I'm looking into things which I'm obsessed with. The only things I can think of are Cats and I love the colour red, love it sooooooooooooo much. So i could do a book full of like 100 images of red things, anything which is red. Also, i'm obsessed with cats, so again I could have a book full of images of cats. Or just of one cat. My cat. Mog.
A book full of 100 images of one cat, I love my cat. Bailey also has a cat which I obsess over. He's called Oscar. So should I take photos of both of them or just one? My cat mog would win.

I just found this amazing collage of images in the form of a cat. I could do this with images of my cat. However, this would be copying the idea without changing it for me and making it personal.

Obsession - Even more samples!

Table Sample

This is my second sample and try at this technique. This is my desk. Very messy. But great for a busy image. Using the same technique as my last sample I made this. By doing this second sample I can see faults. I must keep the angle of the image the same or they wont slot together. The distance can change a bit and I want it to change so it gives the image a distorted view. I don't want it to be a perfect picture which all slots together because that would be pointless and boring. I want to image to look distorted so it looks interesting and it also makes the view look at it more because their trying to work out what it is. My next step is to start on some of my final pieces. These pieces will be linked to my obsession with travel. I will use images of street posts, streets, houses, bus stops. Things which anybody else would look at and just see what it is. But to me I will be seeing memories and these images will have emotions in them for me. I will make a book full of these images. Boring places. But to me they are very important. These places have made me the person I am today.

Obsession - Samples!

Bag Sample

Okays, so i have finally made a sample of my idea! However, this is only a sample and doesn't link to the final pieces I want to make. The sample piece is of my bag, my final pieces will link to travel. The process of making it wasn't as hard as I thought so I feel confident for my final piece's!!

It was really fun making it as well!

*Out of my bag and desk sample, this one is the best.*

Obsession - Back to the drawing board

Post it what?

Okay, so after testing out my post it idea last night I saw that it didn't hold as much potential that I thought it would. So i'm back to my travel idea. My idea now is to take 20+ images of one thing, such as a street sign, but take photos from different distances. After I had taken the photos, i would print them out and stick them all together to make a full image. I would stick this on a wall or a piece of paper if small enough. However, I also got the idea to do a 360 view of a street which is important to me. Like my street or my boyfriends. I would do separate pieces of just the houses, street signs and bus stops also so i have a range of samples. To make the 360 view I would need a room or I'd have to make a circular wall to stick them all on. Hummm. I need to figure out how I make that.

I've already started to take photos of my bag, which will just be a sample, but i will print the images of and stick them together to make my first sample. I shall upload it when its finished.

This website is all about a group of people who set up scenes for a google map camera to see. It doesn't really fit in with my idea but i came across it and I think its really clever and funny. Check out the website and all the images!

Obsession - Quick Link

Black and White

After deiciding that my photo's were going to be black and white I quickly had a look online for black and white photgraphy and found this great blog with a few examples.

Obsession - Idea Re-Think

So many ideas, so little time

Right, i've now started to come up with a lot of ideas, but there all based around each other. I've come up with the idea but not gone out and actually taken and started doing samples (Which is why i'm stil a little stuck). With the ideas i have know I will start to make samples and see which idea comes out with the best result. My ideas have changed a little since my last ones so i'll write them all up. Also, i'll be scanning in work from my notebook about this project.

I'm obsessed with you. This idea is to take the phrase 'I love you' and change it to 'I'm obsessed with you' and write it everywhere and take photos. This idea came from my view on how love and obsession can be very close; like love and hate. I'd write this on walls, floors anything really. Another idea was to write it on post it notes and stick them everywhere and take photos.

Post it notes. After thinking about them in my last idea I thought of all the other things i could write on them. Compliments or insults. Thoughts or feelings. One of my obsessions is writing i've discovered. I can't get enough of it. So my idea was to, when ever i have an interesting thought or feeling, i would write them down and stick it too whatever is next to me. I have a page in my notebook all about this so i will put that in here. Then i would make the photo black and white, except for the note which would stay in colour.

I had other passing ideas which i wrote down in my notebook so I will scan them and get them on here very soon.

Obsession - New Idea

Idea of a film?

Right....Now I'm stuck. After much thought I'm still stuck on an idea for this project. I've even started thinking about film, photography seems like my final plan then I see a video and want to do film. My idea around film is to tell a story through images. I'd go around town and other area's to find the words i need. I'll write down a scrip first and then take short 3 second films of the words then put them all together. I would then narrate over this. I want to film each word so the words aren't flat and it gives the film movement even though its just words and a narrator.

Thinking about this, I get the idea to do animation kinda. So instead of just finding the words, I'd right them down but do it through stop motion/animation. Again, to give this film movement i'd film the images and maybe use a range a materials. Or maybe where I right the words. On paper, walls, tables, hands. Hummm.

I will try both these out and see which one would be the best. FIRST I need to decide on an idea around what type of obsession I will film about.
