Blog Prompt #26

1. Ideas sometimes grow out of irritation. What is a negative thought you are having about your project? What is the opposite of this negative thought? How could you implement a change in your project so that this negative thought will subside? A negative thought is I won't learn anything new. The opposite is I do learn something new. Try something I have never tried before.
2. Expand your project. If time, money, materials, etc would not affect you, how would you expand your project? I would perfect each shot technically and aesthetically. I would make sure each shot stood on it's own but all five shots were working together.
3. Think of one of your most memorable dreams. How could you add elements from this dreams to your project? They would be subtle but noticeable. I would make sure they were not real.
4.  How would you convert your project into a narrative? How would you remove any narrative from your project? I would make sure it had a beginning, middle and end. I would make each photo stand out on its own but still have the same overall theme.
5. What is a consistent theme/visual element in your project? What would be the opposite of this? How can you implement that into your project? Humor is consistent. Seriousness. Using harsher lighting, no expressions large depth of field.
6. At the deepest core, describe why you like this project. Dig deep! I like this project because I get to pick whatever I want to do. I also like it because it gives me a chance to try something new. I may fail miserably but hey, at least I tried.
7. How would you make your project more edgy, saccharine, provocative, empty, revealing, concealing, funny, sad, mysterious, blunt, honest, disingenuous, fast, slow, playful, austere, hateful, lovable, bold, subtle, long, short, big, small, connected, disconnected? I would add elements which one would not suspect. Elements which may not be obvious at first. Elements which have more than one meaning.
8. Persuade the reader that your project works well and is the most amazing project you have ever completed. I am stepping outside of my comfort zone and attempting something completely new. Therefore, I am giving it more care and thought. It has to be good!
9. Remove something from your project. How does it change? I removed humor. I've now stepped back into my comfort zone.
10. What is the “opposite” of your final project? How can you rework your project to include the “opposite”? The opposite would be a serious theme. I can still implement humor but add other subtle elements which may or may not have a deeper meaning that what stands out.
