Analysing a Shot

In this shot the main focus is on the person in the foreground, who appears to be some sort of prison guard. the focus is only on him while the background in out of focus, this automaticaly draws our eye to him. However the contrast of light on his face makes me think that he has an internal stuggle going on within his own mind.

H.R Giger

I have decided to use this picture by H.R Giger, for two reasons. the first is that I have always liked his art and it became a large inspiration for me during my school art exam, where I tried to immitate some of Giger's style of mixing elements to create the final piece.
The second reason for selecting this piece is that it uses differnt ways to portary itself. By this I mean the way in which you can clearly see examples of human flesh and bone while it also it quite clearly using machinery aspects to create a sureal picture tat i find to be a rare and interesting way of portaying the subject in the picture.

Networking

Currently I have had a limited amount of networking, however there have been one or two instances where I have had limited success. For example during my time a college we had a chance to work with a BBC camera operator named Chris Harris who was involoved in a lot of the filming for the news including goin over to Iraq during the oil crisis. through him I was able to go and work at a local Folk Festival where we helped to film bands, clowns jugglers and get interviews with people at the festival, this was very usfeul to me as I am hoping to do more camera operation and working in this public environment showed me how best to approach situations such as this one
