campaign zero analysis
This photograph has been taken for 'campaign zero'. It is a campaign which aspires to end police violence in America. Firstly the picture was taken on a shallow depth of field, I can tell because the people in the background are blurred out. The
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Domestic violence is violence and aggressive behavior within a home. Typically involving the violent abuse from a spouse or a partner. Domestic violence needs to stop, The harsh reality is that people being abused cant tell anyone. The violent partner may not allow you to tell anyone and if you do he/she can hurt you. Domestic violence leads to, on average, two women being murdered each week and 30 men per year. This campaign is very close to my heart because its hard being in a relationship that you feel that you are powerless. Domestic violence makes you feel like your partner owns you instead of you sharing a life with the person.
5 examples of domestic violence
1. Physical abuse, physically hurting someone and inflicting pain on your spouse or partner.
2. Sexual abuse, forcing someone into having sex without the partners permission.
3. Emotional abuse, destroying your partners confidence and emotions through the wrong mindset
4. Withholding resources, giving your partner no access to food, drinks and other necessary health supply's.
5. Psychological abuse, making your partner scared of you mentally by using violence.

This photograph is trying to deliver a message, it is saying that parents arguing can affect other family members in the house such as this little girl. The picture is taken like this to put the focus on the parents then on the girls emotions towards the arguing. The shadows represents fear and darkness, the girl is not in shadow so you can see that parents arguing has an impact on her. The lighting is dark around the girl, the focus point is on the girls facial expressions. The picture is taken on a large depth of field and the shutter speed is fast. I would like to use the shadow affect to show the true horror of domestic abuse in my photographs.
shoot 1 plan
This shoot is about a violent partner in a gay relationship.
Worst picture
This is my worst picture because it has a blur affect, also the angle that I took the picture from is really bad. I took the picture on a slow shutter speed which was a mistake.
Best picture,unedited
This is my best picture because the actor (Saif Hijazi) is showing real pain which makes the audience feel remorse towards the abuse. I also like the angle that i took the picture from and the picture itself is perfect. the reason I like the second picture because the blood is dripping from his face onto his hands shows real horror.
Editing process
I made the background black and white to show sorrow and pain. I left the actor in colour to show his emotion and horror.
I wrote the word's in blood because violence leads to someone bleeding.
Then I added a stop domestic abuse logo because that is my campaign.
FInished PIECE
Evaluation
This picture was taken on a deep depth of field because I wanted the background to be in the shot, The background is important because the vinegar bottle is part of the scene. the lighting was perfect and blood stood out in the picture. Also it was taken on a small aperture.
shoot 2 plan
Firstly for my second shoot I'm going to put some fake blood on my model and experiment with the camera. Secondly I will look for the best angle and lighting to take the picture. It will be taken on a shallow depth of field, with the aperture on a high setting.
experimenting on photoshop
SHoot 2
worst picture
This picture is my worst from the shoot because it's blurry and it doesn't look right. The aperture was too high and it's over exposed.
best picture
This is my best picture, the model showed true emotion in this picture. It was taken on a shallow depth of field on a high aperture.
editing process
This is the original picture.
I added a shadow effect to make the picture look more meaningful.
I added some insults which are common for people who are being bullied.
Final piece
evaluation
I really like this picture because of the quotes and the angle i took the picture from. At first the picture was really bright so i used photoshop to lower the brightness. The picture was taken on a shallow depth of field and on a high aperture. The angle in my opinion is perfect, The emotion on Abdul's face is hard hitting.
3rd shoot
for my third shoot i'm going to use shadows as an effect because I like the idea. I really like the way photographers use shadows to make a hard hitting image.
worst photo
This is my worst picture because the facial expression on her face isn't believable. The picture was taken from a bad angle as'well.
Best photo's/final piece
This is my favorite picture because Amina is really showing a powerful face. The fake blood looks really realistic and it was perfect.The picture was taken on a shallow depth of field on a high aperture. The angle on the picture was perfect as'well as the lighting.
MY evaluation
My project is all about domestic abuse because I found interest in this subject. Many countries around the world that allow domestic abuse. I have come up with a lot of creative ideas for my shoots.In my photographs, I have mostly used a shallow depth of field and a high aperture. Sometimes I use rule of thirds as the body composition. I have found Inspiration from other campaign photographer's. I get my ideas for shoots from what I think has a strong/message. I want my final piece to be my best one from all of my shoots. Currently I am finishing my campaign , I need to finish my third shoot. My strength would be my photoshop ideas and skills. I need to work on my timing of when I take pictures.
