1960s filming stills

After filming I took some images that were posed. I said previously I wante to challenge the male gaze theory and the idea of women being small and weak. I used a high angle shot by standing on a chair, high angle shots often make a person appear small I tried to challenge this by filling up the negative space around my talent. I do like these images however I feel they looked too posed and to go against the normal media conventions I wanted to use images that were more natural and different.

The second camera angle that I tried was a low angle shot, I decided to use this shot to portray power, I think its important my talent looks powerful because of the song meaning. I want my music video and images on the digipak and advertisement to be linked with the idea of independence during the 1960s. I think its important that the concept of my music video is clear through camera shots and angles so the meaning is not lost or misinterpreted.

I decided that posed photos wern't working as well as I had wanted them too, so I decided to take them while filming to try and capture emotion. I'd used this technique previously when photographing people during art and textiles GCSE. This first image isn't the best one but I do like the angle of the camera it adds depth to the photo. I asked my talent to sing and dance while the song played in the background and the next images are the most successful. By putting the camera on timer I was able to capture a range of motions in an order. These images would work well side by side to create a sense of movement. Movement is also well linked to my song choice and will help to portray the meaning as the 1960s movement of women being independeant and breaking away from societies boundaries was a turning point that has lead to todays society. 

Using Mise en scene that was available I tried to again capture more natural images. Using a low angle shot for the same effect.

These images of my talent were taken accidently she wasn't posing she was talking to my mum and had to lean to see her! The images that are not posed have turned out to be the most interesting and useful.
