10th May update.

We are now 18 weeks into this project;
This week i have been continuing with my sketch book carrying on progressing with research and also talking about my first images. 
I have also booked the studio for my final shoot with my model, this will be done a week today. 
I will use the same model as i used in the previous images. I will take into consideration all this things i learnt from the last shoot for example how to avoid shadows on the background and also removing any jewelry from the models arms before taking the images and also remembering to take the correct necklace to give the right feel to the image.

3rd of May update.

We are now 17 weeks into the project;
This week we had a talk from the charity called uganda humanist schools, which is a religious charity which aims to bring school to the needy children of east africa. This is the charity that we will be working with to raise money through out this project. He gave us lots of information about the people of Africa and their daily lives, but also gave us a lot of information on the amount of money that you need to raise for different aspects, for example to supply a child with textbooks of their core subjects for a year is £40.

We also had a powerpoint, that displayed our initial test shots of our ideas, this was also linked us so that we could hear the tracks of the music students and also walk around to look at the garments that the fashion students had started to make. This helped us to be inspired by different peoples work and also to make sure that we ourselves were up to date, 

This week in my sketch book, i have been carrying on with different kinds of research and also initial shots. 
I have also done one of my shoots and started to edit them on the computer, this will go in my sketch book as soon as i can.  The shoot was my images of the hands with the cross necklace draped over. I think that this shoot went very well and i am proud of the images created. I know will need to start messing around with manipulation of paints and also computer manipulation.
