The document discusses the student's plans for their personal project in unit 21. They intend to do a photography project focusing on recreating family photos. They have identified several photos from their childhood that they would like to recreate, including their parents' wedding photo, a photo with their siblings on a tractor, and a family photo from Disneyland. Recreating old family photos allows them to explore their family history and bring back good memories. They outline their production schedule and discuss legal and ethical considerations for photographing others.

1. UNIT 21

3.  In my unit 21 I would like to do photography for my personal project. The
reason why I would like to explore this type of media is because I think that this
suits my ability the best because I am better at doing the written work and
explaining why I am doing it. I also have lots of creative ideas that I can contribute
towards this topic. Looking at my spider diagram I would like to do a personal
photo. The reason why is because it will be easier for me to explain why I chose that
picture and why I chose the background and effects for it (for example black and
white tint to make it depressing. An light yellow tint to make it happy and joyful
etc.…) depending on what the photo is.
INTRODUCTION

4. RESEARCH
This is a perfect example of a family photo that explains what I want to do. It has the shading
almost down to perfect from where the photo has aged over time. They also have a replica of the
same costumes that the wore back in the actual picture. This has given me good ideas to wear the
same clothing when I take the recreation as we wore on the actual day of the original photo. This
will improve the look of the re-creational photo because it would make it more official/ more
authentic therefor giving a better quality to the photo.

recreated-their-childhood-photos-and-the-results-are-epic/)

5. This is a prime example of how the recreational photos are done. The reason why is
because they took the photo in the same place or they have tried to make the
background looking the same as it was in the original. They have also gone through a lot
of effort to try and get the same clothes so they can make it as authentic as possible.
Although it isn’t hard taking the original photo, it takes a lot of time and effort to get it
to a high enough standard to make it look good and something that you would be proud
to hang it on the wall. because you are trying to re-create a 3 second moment from
maybe 20+ years ago and some of the possessions may be accidental so it may be hard
to do the same action that they are doing in that photo. This is what I am going to
struggle on because it may be hard to get to the original location, getting the same
family to be in it because we live in different parts of the uk and it also may be hard to
get the weather the same as it is on the original photo because the weather is very
unpredictable.

6. This is a good because it is still a re-creational photo however they have
adjusted it to their age that they are now. Instead of using a bottle of milk
(which babies usually drink) in the photo they have used a bottle of beer (the
drink that 18-50 year olds drink).This is a clever way of recreating a photo
because not is it just seeing the physical defence of the people but it is also
showing the change of lifestyle that they have chosen/adopted over the years
(drinking a bottle of milk to a bottle of beer). I could maybe use this in some
of my photos but adjusting it my lifestyle/ the people in the photos lifestyle.

8. Advantages Dis-advantages
This makes an emotional connection towards
the person looking at it because it will remind
them of when they were a child and they could
reflect on there life
If I don’t do it properly it could back fire very
easily
It would make a good gift for a family member
because it makes a physical connection with
them (if done right)
It will take a long time to plan and organise
It could be very frustrating when trying to do the
little changes of their possessions

9. WHY MIGHT PEOPLE DO
THIS?
There are many different reasons why people like/want to re-create family photos.
The first reason why is because it brings back good memories of family occasions
which photos has seized the moment with in one photo so they can treasure it for
may year to come, and maybe want to go back there. The second reason is because
it might have been a historical moment in your family, it means different amounts
of emotional love to one person then it does to someone else. So this could be an
ideal gift marking a special occasion (eg: birthday, Christmas or anniversary of
something) and the final reason why is maybe just for a laugh and it is something to
pass the time.

10. WHY DO I WANT TO DO IT?
The reason why I want to do this (a re-creation of a family photo) is
because I am very interested by my family’s history and how my
family and I has changed over the years. The other reason why is
because it would make an ideal gift for a birthday/ Christmas because
my family are very keen on photography and ceasing the moments so
we can look at them for years to come.

11. TASK 3
I have three photos in mind that I would like to do
 Photo number 1) my mums and dads wedding photo: I think that this will be
a good photo to re-create because it has a lot of personal meaning behind it.
Also I think that this will be appealing to other people to look at when
comparing the two photos because they can see how the people in the photo has
changed over the 10 year period(my mum, dad, brother sister and I). The photo
was taken in 2003 outside St. Nicholas Way church in Sutton, Surrey, London.
Because we can’t go there for photo so I will shoot it on our decking overseeing
the fields in the background. I will need to do it on a sunny day because this will
look the nicest and the sun light will make the picture seem more happy and
joyful.

13. Photo number 2) my brother sister and I with a tractor in burly: this would also be a
good photo to re-create because when my mum and dad where on their
honeymoon my nan and granddad took us down to Dorset for the week and stayed
in a little cottage. This was the first time me my brother sister and cousins has ever
been out of London. During our stay we visited the small town called burley
situated in the county of Hampshire. My Nan insisted that we take a picture of me
my brother and sister on a broken down tractor so she can show my parents. This
would be ideal because it is not that far away from where we live so it won’t cause a
big fuss to go and take the picture. If it is raining though it won’t be as good
because in the real picture it was sunny.

15.  Photo number 3) a family picture in Disney land: in 2008 my family and I all
went to Disney land for 3 weeks. This was the ideal age to go because at the age of
11 you could understand what was going on how ever you could still believe in the
magic that was going on around you. One of the attractions there was an authentic
Hawaiian outside bar and dinner show. When we were about to walk in we had our
photo taken as a family with the flowery necklace and in the background where
palm trees and luscious green bush’s. this would also be a good photo to re-create
because it brings back amazing memories and it looks like a fun photo to recreate .

17. I would like to choose this photo because this is the first group photo that
there is of my brother, sister, mum and I all together. This is a couple of
hours after mine and my sister’s birth in 1997. I think that I will be quite
fun to recreate because it will be interesting on how we are going to get in
the same possessions due to the change in size that we have gotten since
this photo has been taken and it will also be funny to see and compere the
two pictures when they are finished.

19. I would like to recreate this photo because it has all of the typical baby equipment
so it really gives a depth of how young we were. It is going to be hard to get all of
the right props to use so make this photo look as legit as we can however that will
be the challenge of getting and the fun of this project by trying to track down all of
the stuff that we need and trying to get it looking the same as the photo. I
personally think that this will be the most expensive photo to recreate however I
also think that this will be the best one to do as well and also if we pull it off
correctly it cold possibly look the best as well.

21. personnel to be used- final slip
This is the slip that I will be getting people under the age of 18 that are going to be used in my
photography to sign. This will take in to consideration the legal and ethical consent. I have clearly
stated what I will do with the pictures and where they are going after I am done with taking them so
it doesn’t cause any confusion afterwards. I have also got parental/gardian signature place because
they always have legal ownership over them because they are not 18.

24. OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION
 Budget- I have no real fixed budget however I don’t really want to go over £50 (props: accessories- the little
items that will make the photo more like the original; sim card/memory stick- I would like to buy a sim card and a
memory stick so it will be more convenient to transfer the photos from computers to computers)
 facilities needed- I will be taking all the photos in my free time because I will be needing family and friends with
the appropriate clothing to take the pictures. I will be taking them at different areas (my house, my nans house,
burley). I also have permission to say that I am allowed on the owners land (comes under legal and ethical consent)
 health and safety- there are no real risks here that could take place, apart from falling over and hurting yourself
that’s it really. What happens if something does happen? There will be adults looking over us and also taking part so
if worse does come to worse they can easily take them to hospital by car or they can help them from past
experiences
 . copyright (intellectual property)- I will not have to worry about copy write issues because my family and I own
them because we took the photos.

25. MAGAZINE ARTICLE
I have asked 10 people 4 different words and I recorded what they said.
Recreation Dvd cover, vintage photos, old photo frames
Family photos Random photos, when they were younger
Memories Remembering things
Childhood Sweets, rules, school,
This will help me decide a background for my magazine article (the ones
that are highlighted are the words/ideas that I am interested in)

26. MAGAZINE ARTICLE
The format of this is a single set photo covering
both sides of the page. The main focus for this
article is the summer time. I can tell this this
because they have an exotic drink as the main
focus of the picture, and the only time people
drink exotic drinks are in the summer. This is a
useful technique because it sets the subliminal
mood to the reader making them read more in
depth. I can maybe use this in my article by
having a vintage photo collage faded with in the
back ground.
