My project is shot on the theme of 'Old and New' by using the theme 'Broken'. By breaking the watch it shows that something that is new, quickly becomes old. The Broken theme of my scanogram could represent Relationships, Dreams or anything that you could relate to.

To create the Scanogram: 

1. I first had to get two watches and smash them up into bits and pieces. 
2. Then collect all of the broken watch pieces on a piece of paper
3. Lay all of the watch pieces on the Scanogram facing downwards so that it scans the correct side of the watch parts.
4. Then i sorted out the order i wanted the watches placed to decide which looked better
5. Lastly i scanned the watch parts with the top of the scanner open to get the ideal black background

For the brief the theme was 'Old and New'. For my shoot i chose to do a Scanogram of a broken watch in the theme of Broken. I chose this because i thought that it was a unique idea that couldn't be more different to everyone else. I feel like i have met my project plan because i feel like the shoot couldn't have gone much better in the fact that the Scanogram looks how i imagined it to look like. The only problem i faced which was easily overcome was breaking the watches, this was because it required using a hammer and making noise. However with being in a separate room it wasn't much trouble.

If i was to do this shoot again  i would probably just use one watch instead of two. This is because using two watches i felt made the shoot look to varied. By using one watch (maybe a bigger watch) would make the photo look more specific. If i was to do this project again i would definitely do the same theme of shoot again. I would argue that using a bigger watch would show more detail of all the watch parts. This is because i like the effect and the amount of detail that is shown in the scanogram.

I like the fact that every little spec of detail is shown on the black background. I tried doing a shoot on a white background but it wasn't as effective as the black.

Anton Corbijn

Anton Corbijn shot images using a black and white film. If you look closely on the persons face, you can see that it is slightly speckled. The black and white film makes the images look like a fill grain and i recreated this using photoshop.

Before Edit

 The First step was to add a new layer to the photo

Next, change the layer name to something to do with the image. I was creating a film grain so i changed the layer name to 'Film Grain'

Then go to Image - Ajustments - Black and White

There is no need to edit the colors because the image is in black and white, whereas if the image was in color then you would need to edit the colors to get the right colours in the photo

Next, Go to Layer - Fill. Then Change the 'Use' to 50% Grey and then click OK

Then click on the drop down menu for 'Mode' and then click 'Overlay'

 Then go to 'Filter' - Noise - Add Noise

Then Lastly Vary the amount of Fill Grain you would like in your photo, and click the Preview Button to keep checking the amount you have added. Then click on the box 'Monochromatic'. This is because the image is in black and white.
If the image was in Colour then you wouldn't click that box because it is specifically designed for black and white images.

After Edit

This is the final image. As you can see there is a speckled tone on the models face, that is the fill grain.
