Evaluation

My intentions for this unit was to explore the different post production techniques I could use to distort or manipulate the image to change the truth. Looking at the phrase, 'the camera doesn't lie" where I was trying to change what the truth in the camera was saying. I did this by using film destruction and messing with the emulsion before I shot the film. How none of the colours are true to real life as they colour emulsion created different tints at random on the film.

 My influences for this unit has a large range, from how I shot the film looking at Henri Cartier-Bresson and using his decisive moment when using film, and always being ready to take a picture that interested me, to the many users at lomography who were my influences in the technical ability to create the surreal aspect of the film. Furthermore giving me the guide lines in how to change and manipulate the image before I shoot and everything film based in todays digital age. 

All my shoots worked, they were all very risky in the fact that it wasn't guaranteed to work, were very random and my methods at times where questionable. The main problems I came across was the time management and he reliability of other companies to develop and print my colour film on time or at all, due to my obscure methods wasting my time taking 2 weeks to tell me they cant do it.

I chose my final piece as I think it reflects a wide range of how manipulated in pre production an image can become. From the simple stain to gaps and cuts in the emulation where something went wrong during processing. I think that it also refers to my intentions well as I have changed the truth of the image, not just in the colours but also the overall feel. 

I will mount and display this as 3 pictures in a row, mounted simply on foam board so that nothing is taken away from the pictures.
