Another idea for the photography stuff. This time, I went all out. I wanted to do a 8-12 picture spread and tell a story. Will, my friend, gets a notice that the Assmbly Hall will be hosting a squirtgun war. He is excited and buys a squirtgun and mods it to have a larger diameter pump so he doesn't have to pump as many times. He then drives down to the Assembly Hall and rushes to the gate. It's closed and the parking lot is empty - no one around. He realizes that I gave him the notice and takes it out of his pocket. The time and date for the notice has clearly been altered and he didn't notice. Fuming, he rushes home to enact his revenge on me.
Yeah, this became another victim to the "not good enough to make my own shit" criteria. I might have been able to pull it off, but it was way beyond the scope of the project and I scrapped for something more colorful.
The trick here was trying to make each picture as concise as possible. How do you show Will is happy when he gets the notice? How do you show an altered notice without drawing too much attention to it? Like a little foreshadowing action. I had the notice posted on the fridge for one concept and then the time was written on it. Next to the fridge is our stove that displays the current time and it matches the notice. Would the viewer recognize that and realize that Will must already be on his way to the squirtgun wars? There were a lot of things to think about and it was fun. Maybe one day when I'm not overwhelmed with 80 billion exercises I can do something like that.
