Native Nomads & Paul Hollywood | Execution

LOOK I MADE A GIF!!! 

Originally for my execution I was going to take a few images of flat lays using 6 bread rolls and 2 bread stamps and also a quote that is inspired by Django Unchained, "I count six shots, n***er" "I count two guns, n***er", with "shots" changed to "rolls", "guns" to "stamps" and "n***er" to "baker. However, I decided to change it up a bit by trying to create a moving image out the stills I made, after seeing a tweet by LLYMLRS saying that she'd taught Zoe London how to create a GIF on Photoshop.

I thought I was putting myself up for a challenge, but honestly, it wasn't that hard at all! All I had to do was make sure I had all the images that I needed, edited and ready, and then I did a quick Google search, followed the steps and I had it!

I don't mean to blow my own trumpet but... I am very proud of myself.

As well as this GIF, my promotional idea will include two "teaser" GIFS. One will be the 1-6 rolls and the first quote, and then the other will be the two stamps and the second quote.

Editorial In The Style of Craig McDean (& Other Influences)

Last weekend, we set up a photoshoot as part of our 'Execution Stage' project. Our aim was to create an outcome, which took inspiration from the editorial 'Game, Set, Match' by Craig McDean, which featured in British Vogue in March 2016. The editorial was quite androgynous, yet contrasted with the femininity from the enlarged roses in the background, with elements of geometric shapes and urban culture. Saying this, we still tried to make our final outcomes our own, by including references from surrealism and the popular 80's fashion label, 'BodyMaps', and most importantly keeping the bag the main focus.

A huge amount of preparation went into our shoot and we took quite a hands-on approach, where every member of the group was included. For example, pre-shoot, we went out and collected holographic backgrounds, cardboard boxes and the lighting; then we hand-made the graffiti backdrop and spray painted cardboard boxes to create some dimension to the photographs. We then took our photographs onto Photoshop where we chose our three favourites and came up with our final outcomes.

I'm super proud of what we've created within just two weeks! It was one of the most exciting projects I've done this term and our group worked really hard in making sure that we'd all had an input in the process.
