gaming 'exposed' pt. 2
DESCRIPTION
The second part of my seconf photography projectTRANSCRIPT
Evalua&on of First set In this set, I experimented with the consumable items that a ‘Gamer’ would use to stay in the game, so I was
photographing food wrappers/packets and drink boBles/cans. With these items I was crea&ng a
composi&on out of these items to make them visually eye catching. However I was selec&ng parts of these photographs to be in colour and the rest in black and white. And I like the results here, but I want to explore other aspects of a ‘Gamer’. So what I propose to do
next is to take photos of their main item. The controller.
Second set of photos
Evalua&on of second set
With this set of photographs I was taking photographs of the main item a ‘Gamer’ will use. And that is the controller itself. So I was taking photographs of all the controllers I had for different consoles which I used at different stages of my life up un&l now. So at first it was the Nintedo 64, Playsta&on, Gamecube and now the Xbox 360. My next set I want to experiment with the is the idea of the items of food and drink at the personas feet, as if they don’t care for what they have just taken into their body.
Third set of photos
Evalua&on of third set
With this set of photographs I have taken. I was trying to show the viewer that ‘Gamers’ do not care for what they have just eaten/drank because they are too busy playing their game to care for the junk that they have leT on the floor at their feet. However I feel this set is not as strong as the others because it is like the first set but I think I could have taken them further. In my last set, I plan to explore the help that ‘Gamers’ have, guide books.
Final four photos
Final evalua&on My inten&on of of my final four and my previous set’s was to explore what a ‘Gamer’ uses in their day to day rou&ne of playing games and ea&ng and drinking different items. Although I am pleased with the development leading up to the final four, I s&ll think I could have improved the final four more by having filter effects to make the photos more eye catching. From my final four I think the ‘Xbox controller on a guide with pages green’ is eye catching because of the fact that the pages of the guide are rather interes&ng because you wouldn’t see a book normally with green pages within a book normally, so it makes it interes&ng to look at. In conclusion, I am rather pleased with how my outcomes have come out, but I do think I could work on them a bit more to improve them further with more photo choice and possibly having some filter effects and also playing around with the colour levels to get the right results that I am looking for.
