Photography Activity:

As a group, we were given a sheet of paper that had a list of words on it. Our task was to choose 6 words and take photographs that will convey their. We had a group discussion on which words we were going choose. We have chosen Claustrophobic, Paranoid, Happiness, Twist, Calm and Futuristic. However, we only had 1 hour to do all the decision making on taking the photographs, which is why we didn't get the chance to take photos based on Futuristic. So, after the lesson, i took my own photographs for this word.

After the photography task we had to choose four words individually. So, I have chosen Claustrophobic, Paranoid, Happiness, and Calm.

CLAUSTROPHOBIC

For this photo, i have converted into black and white which represents how dark and alone a place is when a person is claustrophobic. I have also added a distorted effect which made the photo looks narrow which depicts how small and narrow a person feels when she/he is trap in being claustrophobic. I think the composition is very well planned (elevator and sitting in the corner) makes the person looks very trap and locked up.

PARANOID

I have edited this photo in photoshop and combined two pictures and added an effect of box blurr. I have also adjusted the brightness and contrast of the photo. In my opinion this is very effective as it shows how a paranoid person thinks. Being paranoid is like having more than one brain that are constantly thinking and worrying about things that are going on around them.

Happy

I chose this photo because it's simple yet very appealing. Being happy is unexplainable therefore in my opinion, if you see someone who is happy, this happiness could have a deeper reason to why it exist to a person. I liked how the person is looking straight to the camera and having a genuine smile which can attract an audience easily.

Twist

I think this photo could represent the word TWIST. It was very hard defining twist through a photo. However, our group had an idea that it could be like in movies. For instance; this photo represents how the girl at the front can represent happiness in life however, a twist will occur as someone will try to ruin this happiness which is represented by the girl at the back.
