the final 6 images

I have finally figure out which images I am going to use some of them are of the same scene but I liked them so much I couldn't not get them printed here are the six final images:

this is the first one the reason why I have added this one in is because I love how sinister this image is and the shadow in the sheet I feel like quality of the print isn't that good as I could tell I was focusing on the shadow and not on everything else that is the one thing I would change about the image for it all to be in focused not just on the bedding.

the second image I just love the way that the model is sat in this one and the print has turned out brilliantly.

the 3rd image is of the clown getting closer to the bed where she wants to be is in the bed that is the goal I really like the way it is shadowed around the clowns head and the girl looks terrified. 


Then in the 4th image the clown is trying to bribe the little girl with balloons whilst taking this photo it was so hard not to laugh as my sister would say the most funniest of things to make the model in the bed feel more comfortable. The reason I like this one so much is the shadows of the balloons on the wall the one thing I would change about all of the bed room scenes is to add a picture on the wall to break it up.


the 5th image I love the look of the little girl she looks so terrified but at the same time on the night you would never have thought it as she went from being happy to acting with a click the look on the clown as well is great the eyebrows just bring some comedy to it.


then the 6th image I know it is similar to the 5th image but I fell for this picture because the way the clown looks so happy that she had gotten into the bed she got to the goal of being the child in the bed and then the little girl in the background all scrunched up not to sure what to do. 
  
 This shoot has shown me that I can cope with big projects and that I should never turn down a challenge just give a really good go at it if it doesn't turn out right then there is a learning curb. 

I am really impressed by myself as I would never have thought I could bring something like this that was in my mind to life I feel better for trying and getting it right even though I would change a couple of things but I still happy with the final outcome.



So many images!

I got some amazing images last night so many that I have a massive pile of I love this one folder so I couldn't decided between them all so I went up to my friends to do the editing to get a second opinion we then finally got it down to 15 images and here they are:















This one is one of my favourites i tried editing the pony-tale out but it didn't work so i am a bit gutted.





I really like the way they have turned out and I would love to work like this again.




the shoot

the time has come to the shoot so I have gone over to the room to set up the lighting and its hasn't not gone well at all! this is all I needed I tried everything with this location lighting kit and just could not get the lighting the way I wanted them to be! so I gave a call to a friend who is also a photographer and he bought all of his stuff down to help out he came in and saw that the problem was I didn't need the location kit but just a off camera flash as soon as I had taken a shot I couldn't believe that he got the lighting to exactly the way I wanted with one flash! we did change the narrative of the clown just a little bit instead of having the clown in the middle of toys we changed it to the clown was trying to get the child's bed the goal was to be in the comfortable bed which I found really amusing as I used balloons in one of the scenes which made it look like the clown was bribing the child to get out of the bed. Over all I think the shoot went well really happy with the way it turned out with all the hiccups at the start of the night and day. 

carrying on with the bedroom

I got up at the crack of dawn to go out and get some wall paper to get the room looking different which I am glad that I did it was so hot in the room that the wall paper kept falling down so in the end I had to use industrial tape to keep it up, then came the fun part of bringing in the toys my next door neighbour is a foster parent and had loads of toys to give me that she said that she didn't even need them back! but I had to give them back because I had no use for them when picking the toys up I got asked a million and 1 questions about why I was taking there toys the only way my neighbour could explain it to the was I was doing my home work and needed there toys it was heart breaking because one of the girls burst into tears thinking the evil woman taking her toys would never bring them back. As soon as we got the mountain of toys into the room I started to get the bedroom together and it was getting better and better as I went along I even had a doll house in this mountain of toys and those wired games that have the little shapes that you move side to side. I built boxes to put near the window to hide further cracks in the wall and an old chair in the conner of the room. the room was finally built!

getting the room ready

Today I went over to look at the room I would be using and since I hadn't been in the house for a few year I noticed the walls where horrible and full of cracks, I would have to sort that in the morning as the shops where closed now, so instead we moved everything out bought in the bed and bedside cabinet for tonight that is all I am able to do until tomorrow. 

wig

I bought a wig online with the rest of the costume and it has turned up and it was horrible I wish had not bothered ordering it online and just buying it from a shop it was a big afro red wig so I went out and bought another wig this time it was bald on top and hair round the side of the head which I thought was really funny but at the same time better than the last wig. I would have to paint in the bald cap in white as it was a skin colour.

the clown makeup

For the clown I have decided to give it a classic look like Penny-wise in Steven Kings It as this was the most influence film that made me go for the idea of using clowns as they did terrify me as soon as I watched this film. so I went for the big white face red lips and big eye brows the one thing I want to add is pink rosy cheeks I have not a clue why but it seems to bring the clown to life having rosy cheeks.
