Conclusion/Evaluation

After a long haul, and a lot of deliberation and changes I have finally reached the conclusion of my project. I have really struggled with this brief, and initially I found it very difficult to find a theme that I could base my work on. I had a lot of loose ideas to begin with, and when i finally got to shooting it really helped and I was able to progress with my ideas and develop.

When it came to shooting, I liked doing the earlier images I did of the silhouettes and the trees, as it was quite challenging to set everything up, find the right location and get what I wanted. Even when my ideas changed to what they are now, the spotlighting images, I actually really enjoyed doing them. It was quite challenging to figure out ways in which to get the lighting, composition and exposures right, and it was very rewarding when I finally got the outcomes I wanted.

There are certain aspects to the work I would change if I could go back, and I would certainly get shooting a lot earlier in the brief. Instead of deliberating over loose idea for a few week, I should have just jumped straight in.
I think that this could be a good starting point for a much bigger project, and I could perhaps move it on to look at people's reactions in more varied situations, not just a dark room.
