This document outlines a photography student's exam proposal. The student plans to do two photo shoots exploring how mental illness can cause someone to lose their identity. The first shoot will manipulate a face using photoshop to look distorted. The second will physically manipulate someone to show a disorder taking over who they are. The shoots will take place at the student's home and occasionally outside, using props like paint and curtains. The student provides dates and equipment needs for the exam, which must be completed within 10 hours between April 19th-28th.

My exam proposal is: -

Planning.
I need the following resources(include studio and materials/backdrops, tripods,
lights, etc).
In my exam I will be focusing on my idea of how mental health sufferers feel lost
from their identity and the illness is taking over their personality, becoming who they
are, they are fading away into their illness. I have represented this idea in multiple
ways in my preparatory shoots.
In my first shoot I am going to expand and develop one shoot I did named
‘unrecognisable’ which was based around using photoshop to manipulate the face
of the girl in the picture, to make her face completely distorted. My shoot two will be
focused on physically manipulating someone to represent their disorder taking over
who they are.
My home (CM17 9TF) and occasionally outside.
I will need props including: paint, curtains, trees
