An update on 2 quizzes we have done recently. I am not a big fan of writing tests and quizzes, but here it is! (I successfully recovered the paper sheets from under my bed.) Even though the resolution of the scans is low, the information there is very helpful and valuable to me!

Health & Safety precautions when working in the studio.

Safety in the studio is very important, so here are some safety precautions to take:

-Do not run in the studio.

-Keep your working space clean and tidy (especially when you are a hobo).

-Always clean before you leave the studio.

-Do not eat in the studio.

-Always ask before you use the equipment.

-Make sure you know where the nearest exit is.

-Always look under your feet.

-Make sure all the equipment is in the right place.

-Always return the equipment to the previous place.

-Do not bring dangerous objects into the studio.

-I know that it is easy for everyone just to say don't run around the darkroom. Watch out when you are working with toxic chemicals, don't dip your nachos in the fixer...etc. But I think it's a bit more complicated than that. So I have found some very detailed health and safety precautions when working in the darkroom below.

  Beautifully Unhinged - Photo Shoot Plan

My shoot Idea

I directed my idea more into the depressing side of the novel. Since most of the people from my class told me that they have ideas that include beauty or transformation, I thought it would be a challenge to do something more extreme, playing with a taboo topic like death. I chose it because I have lately been in a very gloomy mood. And since I have little time, I need to use all my available resources to improvise.

The main idea is to present a still life symbolising suicide. The still life will mainly contain a large amount of pills that are supposed to represent antidepressants. I will later on try to create a red filter made from a transparent duct tape, which I will then colour red and cut. I classify the red filter as an experiment, so it will be not essential in my photos. 

I will also try to include a few messages into the still life, that will emphasise the meaning of my idea. I have the idea to write some some of the words on an envelope or foil, so it can combine somehow with the pills surrounding it.
