Plans for the Shoot -
My plans for this shoot was to take photographs of clocks from interesting and different angles. I planned that this shoot would be somewhat similar to shoot 2 of my component 2 work. I plan to do the shoot on the morning of the 19th April during the set exam time. I also hoped to shoot a variety of clocks during the shoot which would therefore clearly relate to the passing of time.

What I hoped to achieve -
I hoped to achieve a series of images which focused on the passing of time from a more simplistic perspective. I hoped to create images which were taken from more interesting and alternative angles to give the impression of distorted time. I also hoped that my shoot would resemble my previous shoot 2 work in my Component 2 as I felt that this was effective and that a modified version for the exam would be successful.

What I actually achieved -
I feel as though overall, my shoot was very successful. I liked shooting the clock from different angles as I was able to create some very interesting and even slightly distorted images. I liked the element of the narrow depth of field which I achieved in many of my close up photographs. In addition, I feel the images were successful due to the fact that they clearly present my chosen topic of 'the passing of time'. Personally, I like the images from the shoot which are slightly more alternative and show the clock from a very altered perspective. I think that this makes the image more effective as it makes it not so obvious at first glance. I feel that this is beneficial as it makes the audience more likely to view and fully give the image their attention when it is not so obvious and simplistic. Below shows two images from my shoot.

This was my favourite image from the shoot. I really like the way that it clearly portrays a clock but from an alternative angle. I feel as though this gives the idea of distorted time which I feel adds interest to the image and also makes the viewer's eye more drawn in. I like the element of the narrow depth of field and especially like the lighting of the image. However, this had nothing to do with me as I shot the image outside on a sunny day. I also like the shadows created within the image which also add to the feeling of distorted time due to the multiple clock hands. I edited the image using Photoshop and adapted the curves and levels in order to achieve a bolder and more striking image.
This image was my least favourite from the shoot. Although not unsuccessful, I feel that this image is rather boring and does not possess the same feel and interest as my other images. However, despite this, the image still shows a narrow depth of field and also clearly shows the idea of time passing due to the time being clearly shown on the clock.
What I am going to do next -
Overall, I am happy with how my second exam shoot went. I feel as though it is similar to shoot 2 of my component 2 but also feel as though some major improvements had taken place which had therefore made the images more interesting and the images more striking and bold. However, if I were to shoot again, I would perhaps try to shoot in the studio in order to achieve a more unnerving and creepy feel by using low key lighting. I feel that this would be an effective and successful experiment to do with the shoot but am completely happy with what I achieved by shooting on location.
