Current Work

Presently I am trying to mainly concentrate on my website & building that up based upon The Vaccines web design & research into other artists site's which enticed me. I have completed a photo shoot of x4 young boys posing as the 'young' band & i hope to have an opportunity to photograph some older men as well in order to make my creativity more believable. We are currently aiming to set up a casual evening where we can photograph a group of friends in a natural environment in order to create a warm, indie vibe rather than getting an overly commercialised 'posed' feel from the images. I really need some contemporary shots for the 'group image' page using the lead male from the video in order to forge a connection between my website & work. I have started by looking up tour venues, setting up social networking links & editing images & the typography of my site (Something I viewed important to concentrate upon from the research I did into like-ability features of websites).  I am primarily concentrating upon the ancillary projects even though we still have x2 shoots to do & some editing of the performance pieces for our video. This is because there was unfortunately a robbery (which took place on the weekend of the Saturday the 9th of February) in the Media Department. Our teachers arrived on monday morning to find macs, cameras & cables stolen, which of course was devastating both for them & the media students. We are in the process of ordering all the equipment back on insurance (the macs are on their way & the cameras in the buying stage) so the incident should hopefully (to an extent) resolve itself soon. However of course this will hinder our preparation time & quality of our projects. Left with little computer availability at school & a 'make do and mend' attitude we've tried to concentrate on blogging, digi-paks or websites dependent on our individual needs. After our half term break the production process should hopefully fall into place (after all the new equipment has arrived, been installed & tested). However though we are currently trying our best to carry on, our coursework deadline was this friday and this halt in the development of our piece will really effect overall editing time & video quality, though we are trying to as positive as possible!
