chat with leah about experimental sound projects.
So today I had a discussion with Leah about our experimental media projects. for this we are being asked to take a series (3-6) photos with any theme we want. this discussion was about idea's for our photos and progression on those.
I spoke about my idea to do something based around gender identity as it is something I feel extremely passionate about. I would love to take some photos that go against gender sterotypes as well as going against societies view on it. I find it extremely upsetting that it is still a taboo topic in todays society.
I want to do a mash up of a social media post which says 'You don't look like a boy...' over a photo of a female dressed as a man, to show that really it doesn't matter what you look like, deep down you know who you are and that's what counts.
another idea I have is pretty cool, its a bit weird and I want to discuss it. I have friends all over the world. I admin pages on social media part time along side everything else I do. and I could like to get some of my friends to take a photo of themselves holding up a piece of paper saying a piece of derogatory slag used commonly in their countries to describe people, be that their gender, race, sexuality... and this will be done in their language. I can then use these and edit them in photo shop, using a combination of other images I will take here in England to display a message about equality across all types of person. I think this is going to be a really fun task if I am able to pull it off. another way to perform this would be if I video called with them and asked them to do certain things for the photo, how to pose how to hold themselves etc. that way it would be more my work. I'm very excited about this. I really hope I can do this one as I am more excited over this than the other idea, however I think both are really good.
the second idea I thought of when we were in Leah's class on Tuesday. Leah showed us a video about a photographer, who took photos of family but they were unapologetic and truthful, basically people in their natural environments. I think a combination of this as well as using their own slang terms could give a really clear message about equality. lets see what happens!
