FIRST SHOOT

For my first shoot I wanted to experiment with movement and performance by taking a series of photos of a movement. I did my first shoot in the studio so I could have access to a neutral background so my subjects became the only focus in each photograph. This photo shoot was for the purpose of experimenting and practicing the creation process of moving imagery. I asked my friends to perform simple movements while I put my camera into the burst setting so I could take pictures quickly and gain a number of photos for each movement they performed. I then divided each group of photos for different movements into different folders in Lightroom so I could easily find each set of images. When editing a set of images I used the sync setting so each of the photos were edited identically the same, in terms of cropping and adjusting colour and shade corrections. I then exported each set of photos in separate folders and then uploaded every photo for each set into photoshop by loading the files into stacks. This meant that each photo was uploaded into one document but into individual layers for each set. I then made frames from each layer to create a frame animation. This means that each photo for a set is displayed in one file as a gif which demonstrates each movement in each photo and set.
