Refection of one self...
Following up my research on Vivian Maier, I went out on the high street with my film camera and shot my own reflection through windows of shops but my own reflection was not all I took, for me reading required patience to create the sounds of the words, to make them match but even then it became a struggle, the words blended together or I wrote them backwards, like a reflection of themselves.
The shop signs I shot on my film camera through a window reflection, all had certain words that I mixed up such as letters like S, Z, B and Ds, these became common into sounds getting mixed up. For me, shooting them in reflection of shop windows shows how I saw letters.
The film was developed successfully however there are improvements to be made, such as Location, being more broader with the windows, getting a strong reflection so working more to the light and the choice of window. planning more to the weather choice, avoiding the wrong exposure so timing when the cloud part for a clear shot and clear exposure. By seeing this film as an unsuccessful experiment, it has shown that the studio would be my better choice for further experiment.
reflecting on the film, looking over some of the images that came out, I felt like they were not as strong into portraying what I was aiming for into showing dyslexia to creativity. Although the project experiment shows areas for improvement and the reflected images through windows of myself and signs. I feel like the experiment did not portray the intention of the project. I felt like it would be misunderstood. To make the relevant changes for future projects, I will make further plans into research, weather and location. research into choosing windows that will give different effects that will create the follow theme to the project, such a more framed window, or patterned windows, this could also help to create a more distorted look, rather then just open windows where it might lose the finest detail of the project experimental.
To compare the direction of how my project is going to look, I will be looking into shooting in the studio with slow shutter and still life. I will be shooting with low and high key backgrounds. and attempting into creating a blur movement with sharp focus still life. This will help create a distortion with still having some parts of the images in focus, by doing this type of photography, I will be aiming into producing and inviting people into seeing how it is to be someone with Dyslexia.
