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.
