I like this picture because they way the word is scratched in to her throat. I like the way she is crying because she looks like a doll is crying. The lighting and contrast are perfect, not to dark or to dull. It has great focus on the person and how she is feeling. She might have some dark feeling inside that she might want to release. Her hand is across her chest in a protective way. Her eyes are really clear and focusing at the camera. Its like she is looking directly at the person who attacked her. Most people would find this work shocking as a lot don't like swear words. This good for getting your message across.

This is a different type of campaign, this an ad campaign. I like this picture because everyone is happy and its in black white.This picture has a central focal point. The meaning behind this is that they are having fun time out. What I like about this picture is that they have people from different backgrounds, also I like this picture because it is in black and white.

Anti-Bullying
I have also looked at an anti bullying campaign. This is something that happens everywhere in work places, in school and on the streets. Bullying is not always physical it can be mentally abusing as names can hurt people's feelings sometimes more than a punch can.
This poster looks as though the girl is being called names as her facial expressions is showing that she is upset and is trying to ignore the name by putting her hands on her ears. She could be being called names at the moment of the picture or has gone home and is still hearing the names being called inside her head.
The poster contains a photograph of a girl in a school uniform and words that are describing what the bullies are calling her. The close up photograph may mean that the bullies are in her face calling her names. The lighting used is dark I feel it helps to symbolise the dark feelings related to bullying. The themes of this photograph are interesting, because the facial expression of the model is intended to gain sympathy. The words used are intended to shock, as they are blunt and displayed in bold white type that contrasts well against the amber background. The words 'freak' and 'Ugly' in particular are strong terms that have an impact on the viewer. The word 'UGLY' means unpleasant or repulsive especially in appearance. The work freak means a different person from everyone else.

This poster clearly shows the wrestlers are supporting the anti bullying campaign.
The background is white I think this is to make the wrestler stand out and to display a clear message to the viewer.
The NOH8 Campaign (NOH8 meaning "No Hate") is a charitable organization in the United States whose mission is to promote marriage, gender and human equality through education, advocacy, social media, and visual protest.
The campaign was created as a way to promote anti bullying, they want people to speak up and used their voice. Photos feature subjects with duck tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with "NOH8" painted on one cheek in protest. The phrase refers to "H8" (leet for 'hate'), short for "Proposition H8" (pronounced "proposition hate"), a nickname used by critics of the proposition. The reason that the photographer has used WWE superstars is because they want to demonstrate the 'tough' body image related to anti bullying. Tough, muscular people are noirmally seen as bullies. Using them as the models shows the message that bullying is wrong and has a much bigger impact on the intended audience than, for example, thin, un-muscular people.

These two famous brothers are covered in cuts and bruises as it draws the attention of the viewer to be shocked and want to look at the poster to see whats happened. Normally, they are highly groomed and well presented people. The reason the photographer has chosen these brothers to be models because the impression of them being beaten is a complete contrast to their normal, every day and very regular appearances in media. In the media they are usually shown as nice and tidy people.
This picture shows that the bigger person is bullying the little child because he is older and stronger and thinks he can do what he wants. I think that he might want his school money, but the smaller child is not giving it him. I think the photographer is trying to show that children should stop bullying each other. That bullying is bad because it can lead you to the wrong paths in the future. Bullies often bully because they insecure and it makes them feel better by putting others down.
Shoot 1 Plan
My plan is to show one student being bullied by a group of students.
I will create this by taking my photographs in the playground using students to be models for the shoot.
The background will be out of focus but the focus point will be on the students face who is being bullied. I will use a small depth of field to try to capture this.

This picture doesn't stand out because it is to blurred and it is out of focus. It doesn't really suit black and white because the walls are to bright because they white so they are to white. It is out of focus so people wont like it. I made it black and white because some of my research is black and white. I don't like it so will stick to colour.

BEST PHOTO
This is very good because it focuses it on poster "kick me" so people would look straight at the poster because it stands out. The meaning behind this photo is people often pick on those who are alone or have not many friends. This picture shows a central focus point like my research and I am also showing perspective. I have enhanced the colours on Photoshop.
WORST PHOTO
This is my worst photo because it is over exposed,
also it is to bright. No one could see these 3 people because it
the exposure was to high up, however, this
picture uses the rule of thirds and the composition rule.

SHOOT PLAN 2

The focus point will be on Adam face I will use small depth of field.
I will use a plain background as I want to make Adam face stand out.
Then I will edit Adam on Photoshop

Self Timer
In the last two images I wanted to use a self timer and tripod so I didn't need to use anyone else to take the photo. This was really hard I have put on the best two. There were too many out of focus or I wasn't in the frame properly. If I was to do it again Id ask some one to help me.
BEST PHOTO
I used photoshop and the magnetic lasso to add me to the images. Iv added text and a filter to improve the colours.
SHOOT PLAN 4
My shoot plan we be based on women right's. My models will be Miss Carvel and Khunsha. I will have a white background and there faces will show a blank facial expression. I will get masking tape and put it on theirs mouth and say "every one should have a voice" "women should speak up. another idea would be to add text with editing software.
BEST PHOTO
This is my best photo because she is standing up for women rights her expression is good. I like the position.
WORST PHOTO
This is my worst photo because there was to much lighting and she isn't looking at the camera.
The meaning behind this photo isn't that strong.

BEST PHOTO
This is my best photo because it is not too bright or too dark it is is perfect because
it focuses on the teachers face. The meaning behind this photo is that she should should
speak up because she has a voice so Miss should use it.

This is my best photo because khunsha is standing up for her self.
She is as brave as the other women. I have used the blur tool because
it will soften the edges and it has more focus point on Khunsha. I have changed the background for contrast. I like this picture because
it's has a good focal point and the background is different. I mainly used the magnetic lasso and text tools on photoshop.

Reedited Piece
Evaluation
In this project was about campaign, so I used (bullying campaign) and (womens right campaign) because bulling happens everyday
however some people don't realise. People should realise what happens when people get bullied. In my
final pictures I used a dark background to make it more scary or terrifying and make a text box on her mouth
saying "Women she be heard and should bot be afraid to speak in front of people" so women should stand up for
themselves. This picture has used central focus point. If I was to do this again I would improve my anti bullying campaign images.
