I like this picture because it's really detailed and very good quality . The banana is very good and is described as pushing the swing that the other banana is on and it has a good view. It has different textures.
The trees used to hold the the banana.

This picture doesn't make sense. The interesting thing is that the watch is gold and nice and it is blocking the road. The details are good and nicely done. The shadows are bright under the watch. The objects used are a watch and some sort of watch holder.
The photograph may refer to a dream that Dali had experienced, and the clock may symbolize the passing of time. This painting has a central composition with interesting rules and lines diagonally

If i did my shoot in black and white it would be a success because iv done this before and I achieved good marks for it. Also I how to turn a camera on for black and white.
This work is surreal because its a bit strange and not realistic. Its got a black and white and its traumatic. unconventional.
This work inspired me because it is really good and quite scary seeing as the man is falling in the fire. The work is awesome and almost look real. The work and depth of field is really good and the focal point is placed in the middle. The work is nicely done and finished. In all of the pictures they are set in like a woodland , sea, country side and outdoor living and places.

Shoot 1
My Plan
people: Kasum and nagdi
location school and outside
I am going to take close ups of the models face and then edit it in Photoshop. The shoot will be taken either in the canteen, outside of school or both.

worst
This picture is out of focus. We cant see the model or the background.
Best
This is my best because it is in focus and the picture is bright and clear. It captures my facial expression. But it would be better if i was cropped so there was less in the background.
Photoshop edited
I changed the colour filter into black and white to make it more dramatic.
I then added tears of blood on my right eye to show to make my appearance more scary.
To make it more effective I added black to the eye socket to make me more devilish.
For a better background I added fire
This is the result of my work done in Photoshop.
Once finished i then changed my colour to black and white.
Shoot plan
My plan will include two people which one will be the photographer and the other the model. I take pictures of the models hand about a couple of times and then edit it and made it more horror and terrifying in Photoshop.
worst
This is my worst because you cannot see the side of the hand and the image background is also blurred. the focal point is only on the front.
best
This is my best because you can see the full hand and is set nicely on the bench. The focal point is central and the depth of field is good. There is refection of light on the bench but that can be removed when 0
Transformation
First of i added black colour to each of the finger tips.
Second i added musical notes to the middle of the hand
Final Piece
I have made this picture more better by adding song notes to the hand. I like it because its a really good piece
Shoot 3: The Kasum Ali shoot
My shoot will be exactly like Christopher Mckenney. Placing an Animal head on the model.
Kasum Ali
I have made my shoot successful by completing the same work as Christopher mckenney. The idea was to put a animal head and replace the human head with it.
The rule of thirds because my face in the center.
The rule of thirds because my face in the center.
I edited this picture in adobe Photoshop. cropped out the Lion face and added it to replace Kasum's original face. The picture is representing the work of Christopher McKenney. The picture is full focused.

Evaluation
The theme of this project is weird and wonderful;l. I have studied Man Ray and Salvador Dali. My works is more influenced by Man Rays I have worked in his style by photographing a hand and editing it on Photoshop by adding musical notes. To me my final pieces represent surrealism because they look real.
