today before i started school i baught a hard back book. so i could modrock over it to give it that magical fear affect i wanted. when i arrived at parkside. i was informed that there was no modrock available for us to use. so, me arianne and jayne,- the three people who wanted to use modrock. we decided to devide the price of the modrock between us and we ventured of to tyndals to go buy some. when we got there we purchased the mod rock and hurried back. when we got back, i started mod rocking my book and this took up to 2 rolls of mod rock. when i modrocked my book i tried not to smooth the edges to much because this wud take away the old rustic effect that i wanted to give. by the time it was lunch i was done and
i left it to dry. when i got back from lunch i my book was dried so i decided to paint it. at first i thought i would paint it a rustic brown colour, but then i thought about it and realised that black would be the best colour to choose. after i painted it all black. i used a hair dryer to dry it because i had to take it home today. after a while of trying and touching up it was finally ready for me to take home. at the end of the lesson, when i went to get a camera sir told me that there wasn't any left so i would have to borrow one during half term or shoot my photos after half term. this ment that if i couldn't get a camera during half term i would have to change my idea, because i had arranged for someone to come down from london so i could take my photos of them.

Today i started by asking sir about how to make a ghost picture, he showed me how to do these in the dark room and after some practise i understood what to do. before lunch i decided to be petra's model for her pictures as i was waiting on arianne so she could be my ghost, but she was busy doing something, with petra we took pictures in the music room using various instruments, and then took some pictures about love for jaynee aswell. just before lunch me and arrianne went of to the kelsey kerrige car park to take ghostly pictures. when we came back after lunch me, petra, and jaynee decided to go to the drama studio to take pictures, about love and more ghostly ones, at first i let jaynee do her pictures but after i started on mine, my first few pictures turned out quite good because jaynee looked liek a ghost but petra looked not like a hman but liek something magical becuase the light was directly on her head so she looked like gold dust.

todayy for the beggining of the day i spend my time editing my sketch book and adding little bits and bobs to it like, pictures that i hadn't printed of, i anotated the pictures by writing a few notes around them. i spent some time thinking about my last idea, and how it would work, initially i had decided to make an eye of somekind, but after thinking about it for a while i realised this would be to difficult so i started thinking of another idea. after some inspiration i came up with the idea of making a spell book of some kind and mud rocking it then put my pictures in it. after this i went out and took a few photos of harvey, then i came back to class after lunch, after lunch i decided to go take more photos this time i went to a graveyard and to a the subway underground. i chose these locations because i felt that if i photographed them right a great sense of fear would be created.

Hi Zaigham

As discussed try to include images and develop areas where you can give examples Eg use because.

today was a really interesting day. we started by finishing of our pictures that we had researched last lesson and just sticking them in our book and everything. after we had done this we got given the oppertunity to go out take some of our own tests shots. i decided to venture of with Hadid and we ended up at a church on the otherside of pakers piece, the church had lots of photographic pottential and i shot alot of amzing pictures there. we were back at parkside by lunch, and i decided to light a fire which i could photogaph. after we ha burn one page and taken a few pictures, zoe suggested we write loads of depressing things on to some pieces of paper and take pictures of tht aswell. at first the fire wouldn't light because o the wind but then after a while i managed to light it. when lunch had finished i started walking back to mud land with zoe, as i was doing this i saw a man siting on a bench, and thought to myself that it would make a great image. i took some pictures of him from different angles (with out him knowing ofcourse). when we got back to clas i uploaded all the pictures to our computer and chose some i liked and started editing them, making skys brighter, tree's greener, and depressing photo's darker. one of my favourite photo's that i took was of the church inside from an angle, i made it darker, and i gave it a really gothic, van helsing look. i thought this looked quite good, so im considering doing fear as one of my themes. so far i only have one idea which is, that im going to photograph someone being, 'magical' and im going to make a campfire out of mod-rock and paint it and some how incorperate some pictures on to it. So far that is the only idea i have but im also considering doing soming with 'fear' but havn't really looked in to it yet.
