2. This photo shows me, on the floor, getting a low angle picture of my
artist. He is wearing the same clothing as shown before. I used a
Cannon 700 D camera throughout the photo shoot. I felt that this
was a good camera and helped enhance the quality of my photos
shown in my final product however, I didn’t use any special lighting
or equipment for the shoot as I felt it was unnecessary to do so. As it
was cold that night, we wrapped up warm for the occasion. The big
jacket, black clothes and the gun signs fitted within the genre
conventions. The location of the photoshoot also fitted in with the
codes and conventions of grime. The negative connotations of graffiti
match with those of grime. Many people have a certain mentality to
grime and graffiti in that it has a connection with the lower class. We
pretty much occupied the whole underpass and because it is a public
place, we had to be polite and respect other members of the public
who were walking past. Although we went above the underpass, we
were careful so that we didn’t fall off so I got my artist to sit down
for extra safety. The time of day helped give my photoshoot an
edgier look as the darkness fits in with the all black clothing helping
the artist seem dangerous.
