Experimenting


After watching THIS VIDEO I felt really inspired to do a landscape photo shoot of car headlights. The video to me portrays a sense of movement and travel which suits the lyrics of the song. Words and phrases such as 'get up, get away and we'll walk' feature in the song which relates to a theme of escaping or departure. The video also shows erratic driving skills such as going through red lights, and lots of swerving and turning corners. This could symbolise thoughts and emotions of the story behind the song.The video has a very personal feel to it, as if we are being shown a part of someone's journey which is eventually finished when two people are reunited together. 


The image above is one the the photographs from the photo shoot; I am pleased with the amount of detail which I managed to capture. I feel that my photograph portrays a sense of speed and urgency. I experimented with various shutter speeds and ISO's. I feel this has helped me gained confidence to my photography skills.
