save the dramatics

Prompt: Behind the glass When making the sketch I already had an immediate image in my head. I definitely wanted to incorporate my pets in the image somehow, and instantly thought about how they constantly fight over food. So, why not make a image where they're looking for food under a glass cup, when there's a whole gorgeous world behind them?  This ended up as the final sketch. The sketch didn't undo many changes during the process of making it. I more had to change things as i was making the image. For example, It was too hard to get all chickens and turkeys in one image, so I had to compromise with one chicken. Secondly instead of a simple glass cup I went with something more fancy giving more meaning.  What I found easy was setting everything up. I got a piece of bread, put it under a cup, and waited for my chicken to walk over and look at it. But it was difficult getting the picture on a perfect day where it wasn't raining.  Finale image

  This is my camera collage, done for my media studies summer assignment. The instructions were to take a photo of various camera angles and shots, and then write a line of what its usually used for.  When planning the shots for all these pictures, I first needed a subject. So, what better subject then my dog Kane (white German Shepard). Also a couple shots have my other dog duke (yellow lab). You can tell from the shots that Kane is a amazing actor. I also needed a scene for all my shots, so I picked my living room since that was the best place for Kane to co-operate somewhat. Kane was a great actor, however for a couple shots such as the two shot and mid shot I struggled to get him to stand/sit still. However, with a bit of smart thinking (using treats) I eventually got him to pose right. Overall, the experience was very fun. 

 I like to think that these clips put together a very meaningful story.
