The document outlines a plan to create Harris Shutter effect images at home. The photographer will use either a Sony phone with a Harris Shutter app or a Fujifilm camera on a tripod. Face paint will be used on the model to introduce different meanings in the images as the model moves between positions representing discovering their true self. Different body movements will be tried to see which work best for the effect. Photoshop will be used to combine three images if the camera is used, applying hue/saturation and opacity effects to achieve a professional result.

1. Planning
Location:
My House
Date/Time:
Equipment:
I would either use a Sony Xperia SP phone due to the Shutter Harris App, or use a
Fujifilm FinePix S camera that will take three separate images. Also using a Tripod,
computer and Photoshop software.
Experiment:
I will be using a Harris Shutter technique on my images; I have chosen to do it at my house because of
the fact that I can use different methods to make my images more exciting. By using face paint it will
allow me to introduce another meaning to the image. I think this is a much better idea, as I wouldn’t
have travel expenses if I went into college and instead I have the freedom to experiment with
different methods at home. When trying out different methods I will use a tripod to get a steady
image each time.
To make the Harris Shutter work I will move the model in different positions so it looks like they are
trying to escape the person that they are now and discovering who they really are as a person. I’ve
chosen this theme because it’s strong and personal to myself, by finding out who you are will connect
with a lot of people. I will not use any method on my camera if I use it because it’s better to keep the
camera on the tripod and to take different pictures every 5-10 seconds, which is the method that I’m
going to use when taking the images.
I am hoping to create a mixture of different movements in my images because this will work really
well with the Harris Shutter effect, it will give another viewpoint and give a crazy look to the model. If
the camera ends up not working or the pictures don’t turn out as good, I can buy a Harris Shutter App
on my phone which will create images with the Harris Shutter effect, this will be more convenient
because it’s easier to produce. This way I can experiment to see which body movement’s work and
which don’t. If using the camera I will go on Photoshop and find a tutorial that will help produce the
effect on my images, I am hoping to use three images that will come together in this technique. By
using the hue/saturation and opacity effect frequently on Photoshop I believe that (after practice) I
will achieve a professional image.
When taking images I realised that the person/model would have to be moving so that we get that
Harris effect, to do this I will use a fast shutter on my camera so that it captures the person in a clear
image instead of it being blurry. By using a fast shutter for each image, It will show a detailed look on
what movement looks like and when going around and practicing the movement method I will
hopefully produce images that work with the colour coordination and theme.
