Shoot Plan

For my final work for this brief, scanograms would be interesting and to make this image I will use my personal belongings from my bag. The equipment I need is a flat bed scanner and my belongings. I will do the shoot in the classroom as that's where the scanner will be.
There are some technical considerations and these include not putting too much weight onto the scanner itself as it only has a glass screen and that could easily break or scratch.
If you are scanning your face ensure your eyes are closed as it can blind you and if you are moving an object whilst scanning, dust particles could potentially show up. Don't use any liquid on the scanner as it is electrical.
This is how my scanogram will hopefully turn out, as it shows someone with their personal belongings, although I won't be in the image.


Emulsion Transfers are easy to do and give photographs a really abstract and vintage look. For this, I will use an old family photograph and then use acrylic paint and paint onto the photograph and some paper, then after sticking the photograph onto the paper and then smooth the photograph down, I then have to dry the photograph with either a hairdryer or hand dryer, once it is dry I will wet the photograph and then rub it to peel away and it will be printed onto the paper and appear old and abstract. This will have to be done in an art classroom as it will have all the paper and acrylic paint that I need. Some things I need to consider is the amount of paint I use as too much or too little will effect the way the photograph turns out. I also need to consider how much I rub the image, as if I rub away too much, the photograph might end up with holes in it and tears in the paper.

Projection Photography is really good for being creative and you can use a photograph of anything you want and this could work well for my final idea. I am going to use one of my own photos that I have shot and project them onto somebody or can have them projected onto myself. For this I will need a camera, projector. To get a good photograph, it is better if the person is wearing a light colour so the projection lights up their clothing too. This would be taken in the studio as that's where the background is and all the equipment that I need is ready and set up. The camera settings for this will not always be the same. 


Double Exposures are good because I could use anything I want, these can be taken
