archive,first shoot images

When looking for inspiration from the archive I wanted to focus on accessing specific areas of location on my shoot, so influential areas that connect to the history of jersey found within the achieve and possibly using this as a background for an emotional piece. Archival images are much more influenced by narrative and documentary style due to editing effects and camera effects not being around. Because of this the achieve is a good place to go in order for a clear representation of the world that used to be and a good reflection fo the peoples attitudes and feeling within a scenario.

For my first shoot I went to three separate locations, being a beach, castle and towns full of archival images that have been around for a long period of time that are significant to jersey and its history. Within this shoot I wanted to incorporate three different emotions, The beach as being freedom and peace, this is reflected through the person I have chosen, having a great love and impact for the beach,It also shows that politics and negative impact on emotions is not always relevant when bought to an area of great love and admiration.  I want this to be reflected through the dress and positioning and way in which she is going to move.  I want to get many different interesting compositions and the way in which the body is held to reflect an emotion as-well as being incorporated into the landscape itself.

For my second location I will go to Gorey castle, I have chosen this as it is a hugely influential Archival area and shows a huge political impact of war and issues effecting how jersey is currently represented. For this shoot I want to show an emotion of sadness and anger, this will be mimicked by the colour of red and the action in which the subject moves and where she is placed. I want to incorporate many interest angles and find many little areas within Gorey castle that are dark and represent the suffering of war that this symbolises for many years. To this person it shows the past and present to how politics is now formed and how she is now deemed as a less important citizen because of the events that occurred here. I will use many camera effects in order to experiment within emotion and also using mirrors to show a reflection of time and such.

The last location is a little community within a small town, full of colour and a strong community. This will also show a reflection of love and also highlight the scenario fo living for more urbanised areas. I want to try and capture more people in the community within this scenario and also just the landscape itself. and could possible incorporate a narrative and documentary section of this shoot from following the people who live in the area itself.
