2. Divide your project into three components. Rearrange and reassemble them in your mind.
Three components would be my memories, my feeling, and camera angles. Rearrange those?? hmmmmm.. I guess currently, I am focusing on my feeling but when I rearrange my three components, I would say using camera angles, I would capture my memories and using lighting( Even though I didn't write it .... it's important for my project) I will express my feeling.
3. Expand your project. If time, money, materials, etc would not affect you, how would you expand your project?
I definitely visit where I have been through in the United States. Wyoming, Las Vegas where I lived… I definitely visit there for my project.
4. At the deepest core, describe why you like this project. Dig deep!
First of all, it’s about my story… I am so glad that I can tell my story using photography. Even though I really like to talk about my story but since English is my second language, I think photography can convey my thoughts and my feeling more directly and attractively to people. My topic is about the United States and me. I think my project has some kind of flash back process that I can think about my past deeply than before.
5. What is the “opposite” of your final project? How can you rework your project to include the “opposite”?
Opposite would be future in the United States. Basically, my project is about my past feeling in the United States.. So, for the opposite would be capturing my thoughts or my life in the United States. It would be fun that the last photo deals with my future in the United States so my project flows from my past to my future.
6. What would happen if you demolished your project and reconstructed it physically or conceptually
This can be fun activity. I have something in my mind always that if I captured a building, I will construct same looking building on the top of my image. I might use this kind of process for my project if I can reconstruct my photos physically.
7. Remove something from your project. How does it change?
My project is about my memories in the United States. If i remove 'my memories' from my project theme, it would be just talks about the United States as a subject... So.. my memories and even my feeling have big part of my project.
8. Think of one of your most memorable dreams. How could you add elements from this dreams to your project?
Too much memorable dreams making me complicated for this question but one dream just pops up. This is not a good and sweet dream but it's horrible nightmare.. at that moment, I couldn't continue to sleep. It's about my father that he saved me and he ..... anyway... it's about dream and.. I cried too much in dreams and until when I woke up. I might add dark, sorrow, something that represent hopeless or anything that represent sadness elements. I might use rain affects for my photo or strong contrast.... so that gives really dark side for some part of my image.
9. What is a consistent theme/visual element in your project? What would be the opposite of this? How can you implement that into your project?
I might use same style that I mostly did for my assignments. Specifically, minimalistic, simple, warm but cold at the same time. I might use color and light for express my memories and using camera angle tells the United States as a subject. Opposite?? hmmmmm... as I tried for my assignment 5 I might get out from my own 'style box' and experiencing about different sources and different color and lighting style for my work. More vivid and more strong contrast can be the opposite side for my project. Implement can be light, angle... using same implements with my original but making opposite end can be one of the method for my opposite project.
10. What would your project look like 100 years ago? What would your project look like 100 years in the future?
HUGE DIFFERENT. Since I am foreigner, I think my perspective would completely different than right now.. not only my perspective but also American people so I think I would felt different feeling from the United States in 100 years ago and I think I would experienced very different things at that time. My project can be completely different story in the future. I think if I make my project in 2111, I probably will talks about nature for my project; nature in the United States. The reason for that is because, environment can be the most concern for our life. Therefore, I think I will deals with destroyed nature in the United States rather than my memories in the United States.. for my project...
