Evaluation

My intention was to compare digital and film photography. I think I have achieved this in the ways I have had directly compared the digital and film, through the different cameras and film types to the standardised digital sensors. I feel that I have effectively explored lots of differences and similarities of film and digital. With all comparisons I got to experiment with different cameras and different film, and got an experience of using the dark room, which is something that is very different from using a digital camera, working with your hands to produce and image. My main influence was Vivian Maier who took lots of pictures in film. My over influence where I used there process and thoughts behind there work, rather than there work itself, which guided me in different directions, which is where I come across the final piece. Due to the medium, film photography can be hit and miss. I had a good run with most the cameras, but one shoot didn't go to plan as it was out of focus, and in the beginning the pictures were very over exposed / under exposed as I want very good at guessing settings, and I eventually used light meters on my phone, which produced better results. I chose my final piece as it was a large range of all my comparisons, which I thought really demonstrated my experimenting with different techniques and use of analog and digital methods of editing. I have 8 pictures with 4 on each side, and the digital is opposite the film equivalent of the picture. I will mount It on foam board, with a black backing.
