My Response to Lopez's work:
My Response Plan
To respond to the work of [artist name], I intend to take and edit photos in Photoshop OR record and edit my own film in Premier Pro.
My work will link to my artist because I will also... (What will you do the same as them?)
I will need... specific people to model, or objects to photograph? Why have you chosen them (eg. because my photographer uses women, cars, natural forms etc.)?
The equipment I need will be... (DSLR Camera, Tripod, Macro Lens, Studio Lighting etc.) Why have you chosen to use these (eg. to keep the camera steady, to get close up, to get a certain kind of lighting effect)?
Do you need to take your photos/film at a specific location, or with a specific background?
I will include the compositional rules and formal elements of...
This will link to my theme by...
My Raw photographs/ footage; Contact Sheet
13 unedited photographs OR your raw filmed clips (no need to do 13!)
My Three Photoshop Edits/ My Edited Film Response
To edit my photo of ___ I opened it in Adobe Photoshop and [What Photoshop tools did you use and why? E.g. I cropped it so that the focal point of the work was the chips themselves and so that I didn't have as much negative space. I then increased the saturation and vibrance to bring out the yellows in the chips and the colours in the burger, in the style of my photographer. I increased the brightness and contrast of the image as well to replicate the look of it being taken with a flash. I then added noise to give it a grainy, film-like look to make it feel more nostalgic.]
To edit the ___ photo I opened it in Adobe Photoshop and [What Photoshop tools did you use and why? E.g. I cropped it so that the teapot was centralised and I increased the vibrance and saturation to make the colours bolder, like my photographer does.]
For the ___ photo, I opened it in Adobe Photoshop and... [What Photoshop tools did you use and why? E.g. I cropped it so that the sign was in the top Third of the Rule of Thirds so that the viewer's eye was led to it. I then increased the saturation to emphasize the colours and added grain.]
Which edit do you feel has been the most successful and why (link this to your photographers and theme)?
