Research report-Production Planning

Through the development of my pictures I have taken so far, I have already started to explore the different types of insulation I may like to present my photographs. Additionally through my pilot, there are shoots that I would like to take further after Christmas.

Materials I need:

·         My skin photographs that I have taken I have edited through Photoshop to be glowing, shiny-skin that have commercialised through the media- just like they are in adverts, magazine articles or on the TV. Therefore as I have researched magazine adverts I think that a creative idea would be to present my photos in the exhibition on magazine paper-or as a magazine-other shiny surfaces-on a TV
additionally i would like to experiment presenting my pictures on acetate- I have layered and distorted my images so i would like to see what it is like doing it manually. 

·         Also I have explored the idea of mannequins and dolls and the idea of skin and the commercialisation of skin-insulation idea-picture of skin-projected onto a mannequin

·         Materials-TVs, old computer screens, magazine paper-glossy paper

·         Software needed-more Photoshop-there is further manipulation need for my photographs

·         Other materials-mannequins-need to get hold of an old one to be able to shoot in studio

·         Need more young girls to take pictures of-was only able to get three this term-need a wide variety of age ranges.

More ideas to photograph during second term:

·         Practically I believe there are more ways I can experiment with how to portray skin in media particularly looking at the idea of the fear factor the media put into not having perfect skin like the advert Michelle Henning put in her article ‘don’t touch me I’m electric’ which I talked about in a previous blog. This is done through the advert by using diptychs to show something that people fear-like pollution in an industrial area-i want to take pictures like this next term. 

• I would like to push further the idea of skin, and mannequins and the idea of society as puppets, therefore i will be taking more pictures of skin and the body form in the studios.
