My Chosen Final Images.

 

These are the images I have chosen to represent my final piece.

I chose them as I believe they represent the story I was aiming to narrate throughout my work - the story of Jack and Jill.

I had the heads of the models covered as the nursery rhyme is about a king and a queen being beheaded and this symbolises the loss of their head.

Along with the significant symbol, I tried to put an urban twist on the story, creating a modern day tale by dressing the girl up in up-to-date fashion and the same for the boy.

In the very last picture, it is of two hands underneath a water pump - symbolising the well- and the male model is wearing gloves as it represents the different clothing the genders wear.

I chose a couple which one was of white heritage and one of African heritage as i wanted to represent the multi-cultural diversity of modern day.

I have ensured that all the photographs were taken/edited to be portrait so it creates a consistency within my work and I also edited the images into black and white as i feel more emotion is expressed through black and white and I feel it helps achieve the gloominess of modern/urban times.

 

Ideas for final piece.

 

I edited the images in two different ways, one retro style and one in black and white.

I am yet to decide which one I am to use for my final outcome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Final Piece - Final Statement of Intent

 

For my final piece I have chosen to use an older couple (teens) to do the shoot with as I feel it is more appropriate to the story of Jack and Jill as it is about the story of how a king got be-headed and his wife came "tumbling after".

I plan to take my models to Wollaton Park in Nottingham for the shoot as it provides me with the desirable backgrounds and it also has a wooded area which will be perfect for the images of them on their travels. The park is also situated close by the Wollaton Village which has the water pump which I am using throughout the story as unfortunately it is the only thing the vaguely represents a water well like the one in the nursery rhyme.

I am going to get the female to wear a knee length dress and tights to make her very feminine and up-to-date. I am going to get the male model to wear a very smart shirt and jeans, to give him that smart yet urban feeling.

I am still going for a new modern twist with my images but keeping in line with the fact that I want to portray the origins behind the nursery rhyme, I will do this my getting them to have their head covered which symbolises the be-heading of them when Jack "looses his crown" and Jill came "tumbling after"
