Photo Prompt #6

Create a character and a style.  You may use yourself, or you may choose another person.  What is this person’s backstory?  Write about it in a paragraph or two.  Now, using elements of “Art on Set” (see Chapter 13) including Set Dressing, Props, Wardrobe, Makeup, and Hair, create your character in a scene in front of the camera.  You will need to work with your self 🙂 or your subject to make this work.  Create a 3-5 scene narrative sequence with your stills.

Look at photos your classmates have done over the past few weeks.  There are some fun examples you might glean from in terms of a look.  Another photographer you may want to look at is Cindy Sherman.  Here’s an introduction to a MOMA show of her work in the 90’s.  You can also google images of her work.

You may want to use this exercise to create one of your characters for your Open Scene Project!
