Plans for the shoot: So I spent most of my weekend making origami birds out of thick coloured paper! I have quite a few made now, so I am going to use these in my shoot in the studio, in a similar manner to my previous shoot with the 'floating' letters. However, this time I have purchased some thin jewellery-making wire, which I hope will be less visible in the shots and will allow me to potentially erase these without any evidence of Photoshop-ing to give the impression that these paper birds have come to life and are actually flying. I am going to experiment with the ways I hang the birds and the wire, as well as perhaps incorporating the book element which I used in one of my initial shoots.
Shoot Evaluation:
This shoot was very tricking to set-up as the shots I was originally achieving weren't bright enough and the colours didn't stand out as well as I had hoped. To do so, I had to change the lighting so that I had two lights on the background, and two lights in front of the birds - which meant I had to shoot out of lesson time as the set-up took a long while, but this meant I was able to shoot LOADS and I was able to get a nice variety of shots. I also experimented with the 'story book' I used in one of my first shoots, as I wanted to make it look like the birds were appearing from inside the book, a bit like a spell or magic trick.
