Week 2 Day 2: Creative Week

On the second day we edited the fire pictures that we had taken the previous night, and which had turned out better than we had expected. Creating this was something that I had never done before and so it was extremely different to what I usually do and I thoroughly enjoyed creating something physical with my hands. Matt had used this technique before and so he was able to guide us in what to do and how to hold the lit sponges.

I am delighted with the outcome of the images. Creating these was exciting, different and fun. I will definitively keep this technique in my mind for if ever I need to use it in the future.

We then sent the pictures to Natalie and Alice who put the pictures together to create a fire man. They edited it in lots of different ways to decide how we would project it and in what way the image looked the most powerful.

As a group we really loved the second design and decided that this would be the design to project upon a veil over a mannequin. 

Our final image would look like this:
