Treatment
1. Type of production and brief details on Subject/Concept:
In Solitude, my idea is to show this in a mixture of the simplest and the most complicated ways possible. I feel that it is a subject that needs to be taken seriously.
2. Facilities: What facilities do you need for this project list all including software and hardware for the whole project?
I will need a camera, possibly photoshop and somebody or something to represent the subject.
A place to do it, i was thinking about doing some outside in Horsham, as i know some rather good places that would really help show the true meaning of the word i have chosen to do.
3. Finance: If you produced this project outside of the college you need to show how much would it cost to hire the equipment that you intend to use.
Photoshop: £643.90
A friend to be a model: £0
4. Contributors: Who do you need to help this for you project? This includes talent and crew.
I would need simply one of my friends and then somebody else to help set things up if there was any setting up to do.
5. Codes of practice and regulation: What regulations do you need to be aware of. Think about college policy as well as regulatory bodies that you looked at in assignment 2, Worksheet 1.6 Regulation and Safety notes
I will have to get written permissions for photographing anyone under the age of 16 from the parent, or from themselves if they are older.
Also permissions to photography areas of any council concerns.
6. Presentation: How will you present the pictures? Will you include a soundtrack, think about copyright issues etc.
I will present the photos by just putting them onto this blog, they will be intentionally nothing special because this isn't the idea of Solitude. Maybe one or two will be worked to be as eyecatching as possible, but generally they will be as complex as possible because Solitude is a complicated thing.

Shutter Speed
The shutter speed of a Camera will change how the photograph is exposed.
There are many speeds, such as:
1/250 of a second, this is considered fast
1/30 of a second, this is considered slow
However there are much faster and much slower speeds than these two.
1/15 of a second.
1/30 of a second.
1/60 of a second.
1/125 of a second.
1/250 of a second.

Portraiture
Application
Portraiture started off as a painting of someone who was rich or who very powerful who would hire a skilled painter to capture and show this in a painting of them, so whoever was posing in that portrait was the owner of it. However over time portraiture has evolved and the possession has changed, the man or woman behind the camera now owns that portrait, seeing as they are the ones to decide what it shows or portrays.
The old compare to the new, A portrait of Vangogh (left) and William-Aldolphe Bougouere (right)
these are both self portraits however.
Context
Pretty much everywhere we go nowadays you can find portraiture, many businesses and companies will use it to promote products they sell, using famous people to make them more popular. We find them in leaflets, on billboards, magazines and in newspapers mainly. Celebrities tend to have their own websites for the public to see so these are the likeliest places to find them. An advantage of portrait is that it uses less space so this is why many magazines and newspapers will use them over landscape.
Techniques
One technique is the texture, in fact this is a big part of it. it is used to make many images seem to jump out at you from the page. Matching the background texture to the foreground is important if you are to use this technique, otherwise it will look strange.
Fashion Photography
Application
Fashion photography is a type of photography generally devoted to displaying items of clothing and other things in fashion. Fashion photography is most often used for advertisements or fashion magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, or Allure. Over it's time, fashion photography has developed its own aesthetic in which the clothes and fashions are made to stand out by the presence of exotic locations or accessories.
Context
In the first decade of the 20th century, advances in half tone printing allowed fashion photographs to be featured in magazines. Fashion photography made its first appearance in French magazines such as La mode practique. Condé nato took over Vogue magazine and also contributed to the beginnings of fashion photography.
AS an audience we are presented with this type of photography when shopping for clothes, or looking at magazines. fashion photography is often used to try to sell us something.

Art Photography
Application
I Think of art as an expression of something that interests you or even of your mind. It interests me when i see abstract art because that show that the artist was probably quite a character. Among the many Art Photographers, a few are Edward Steichen, John Szarkowski and F.Holland Day, these three spent their lives using Photography as a fine art.
Conceptual Photography is a form of using photos to show something that represents and idea, in a conceptual photograph it is not unusual to find rather abstract ideas.

Artists use photo editing methods like trick photography to make bizarre ideas become real, another popular thing to do is blur out the background and focus in on on e particular part of thr picture. Different variations of backgrounds are used, for example studios and real places, it usual is down to what the artist sees.

Techniques
The early artists never had editing programs like we do today. people like Josef Heinreich used other photos and stuck them to one big one. This is the earliest form of Photoshop in a way. But the modern way of doing it gives the artist various different tools to do the job.

Photographic journalism
Application
Photojournalism was first seen when Photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, in 1933 he saw a man jumping over a puddle, effectively it was created by the split second decision of a man to take a photo of something he saw.
Also Tony Vaccaro and Robert Capa are key names in the development of this specific type of photography. They are two of the well know photographers during The Second World War, they often took pictures during battles. Capa journeyed with soldiers so that he could capture moments that may later be known as major events
.
Vaccaro on the other hand was actually a soldier himself, he captured the wreckage as he went along. Sadly his photos, or most of them, were destroyed because the army said that they showed the faces of soldiers who had died and this sort of image should not be shown to the world just yet.
During the Vietnam war Eddie Adams was another major participant in the future of photo journalism, he caught the execution of a enemy soldier just moments before his death. This image lead to a lot of controversy as it showed the unfair, un-trialed death of a human being. Admittedly it was the death of the enemy but none the less it was highly inhuman.
Context
Photographic Journalism is usually presented to us as the audience in Magazines and Newspapers. We consume this type of photography like mad as we have so many examples of each of those things. The type of photographic journalism shown to us varies from one to another, in a tabloid news paper they tend to try to find the funniest shot for the story that they could as most of the time they present funnier stories, or stories with a slightly comical edge. In papers such as the county times they use more serious and thought out shots to capture the situation as it is. Throughout time the ways in which we use this have changed and sorted themselves into groups as i have just explained.
Techniques
As i sort of explained above, the ways in which a photo is taken for this category varies around what type of audience it is aimed at. You either see photos which are taken at specifically comical moments or ones that are taken to show the surroundings or something important to a sad story.
The technology that is used for this has changed through the years and with this the type of photo and how it is taken has changed too. For example, we now have things such as burst cameras that capture multiple photos at once, so it has become easier to find a photo perfect for whatever we are trying to show. Also cameras have becomes able to take good clear images of actions and with shutter speed variations the photographer can capture a more appealing shot for the audience to see.
