In this session, there was not much work done. So, this is going to be a pretty short post. Probably the shortest I have posted in my life because I am so used to CRAM that I do so much work. However, this did not happen today. Anyway, today we were supposed to be doing our test shoots, some picture research and to finish off some work (optional).

All I did today was planning what I should do for my final piece, photography wise. For my 'First Impression' concept, I wanted to have two people just meeting each other. However, they are hiding there true selves and their personalities. To do this, one person should be wearing loads of make up to cover their 'true selves' and one person could be wearing a boy wig and boy clothes to again, cover their 'true selves'. This links to the main topic 'Believe' because when you meet somebody for the first time, you expect to believe what they are just from their looks or the way they act. However, do not judge a book by its cover because people are not what they seem to be.

Last week, I had a bit of a struggle with 'Impossible Things' because there are so many 'Impossible Things' out there. Although I was still struggling today, I had a brief idea. I found some sticky gloves which reminded me about 'superpowers'. Then I found out that 'Impossible Things' and 'Superpowers' have a link with each other. Meanwhile, I thought of having some sort of 'gooey superpower' added to my test shoot by using my gloves that I have found and I could buy some goo or putty for my goo superpower. But for some reason, I do not like this idea. I do not think it is going to work. I would rather not do a test shoot for 'Impossible Things' because I really like my idea from 'First Impressions' and I think it is possible to do. Plus, taking the 'Government' idea to account, I do not think it will be possible to do the idea because I need loads of people, loads of costumes and loads of money to do the idea. I do not think this concept should be test shooted. It would not work and I am comfortable with my 'First Impressions' concept. I think I will be using this for my final work.

Next, I did minimal picture research. I used a website called 'Alamy' to find pictures for my main topic 'Believe'. That was all. Sorry.

My targets for this session is again to finish off work when you have nothing to do. I need to get out of the zone when I just chill when I have nothing to do.

Unfortunately, I did not do my photo shoot for 'First Impressions' because all of the cameras were taken. On the other hand, Mr Hind let me sign out one camera so I can do the test shoots at home or another location. I will need to find models this week.

Next week, well. I do not now what I am doing next week. Possibly showing my test shoots to Mr Hind and, that's it I think.
