Idea Development
For my idea development, I had to figure out what I wanted to do. This was a hard decision as I didn't know wether I wanted to do photography, animation or film. So i decided to stick with photography, I then had to think which artists I wanted to look at because I don't just like any photographer, I like unique photographers. I started looking at an artist called Brooke Shaden, her work is very talented. I did a sample of one of her photographs but then I thought it would be very time consuming and defiantly a lot of work. I then got told to look at a Samantha Taylor Wood's work, I did like her work but I don't think it was very interesting for me to do. And then I remembered Roger Ballen, I did some work on him when I did A-level. So I already knew what his work were about. I then had to think how I was going to develop my idea, I started doing samples of his work, but I used like sight, hear, personality etc. As I did these samples, I found out he did a music video called ' I FINK U FREEKY' staring Die Antwoord. So this is where i developed by idea by making a music video.
Research.
Before I did my research on my final project I had to figure out what I was going to do first. So this is where I had to do my idea development first. After I decided I thought about doing my final project on Photography this is where I started researching the artists 'Roger Ballen, Brooke Shaden and Samantha Taylor Wood' I mostly did research on Roger Ballen, because I knew I was going to take most of my idea's from as I think he is a very talented photographer. Whilst I was researching about Roger Ballen I found out he directed a music video for 'Die Antwoord' called ' I FINK U FREEKY', this then gave me another idea, of I could make my own video
Investigation
In my investigation I mostly did secondary source research for my final outcome because I mostly just needed the internet to research about Roger Ballen, but when I did contextual studies I used books instead of the internet and I got more research by using the books. On some parts of the research I did use primary source research because I knew a lot about Roger Ballen because I learnt about him in A-Level Art.
Techniques / Workshops
For my techniques / workshops, I had to use Photoshop and Premiere for my final outcome, I had to use Photoshop when I was doing the photography and then when I was editing all the music video together thats when I had to start using Premiere. I was very confident using both these softwares as I have used them in previous projects so I didn't really need any help.
Samples / Test Pieces
For my samples / test pieces I created different samples of photographs focusing on what Roger Ballen created, but I made them in my own way for example I brought sight, hear, personality, and sight into them. Also whilst I was creating my samples I made them into a
Design Development
For my design development its basically how did I arrive at my final design. I arrived at my final design by firstly taking photographs like Ballen does, but I made my own twist on them by bringing in personality, sight and sound. I then edited the photographs I had taken in Photoshop. After I did these photographs I had to think where I was going to go from here. At first I thought i'd do more photographs and put more thought into them. And then I came across a music video that Roger Ballen created called 'I FINK U FREEKY' which stars Die Antwoord.
Final Design
For my final outcome, I started by doing photography and I created some samples of what I were going to do, and then I thought I can just do photography. This is when I started to do more research on what Roger Ballen did and I found out he directed a music video called 'I FINK U FREEKY' by Die Antwoord, this then gave me an idea. I could created a music video just like Ballen did.
Whilst I was creating this video I had to get into the mind of Roger Ballen, I also had to get into the psyche of learnt knowledge and instincts.

Strengths and Weaknesses
I think I did very well with my strengths with this final project, personally my strengths were asking individuals if they would like to be in the music video, by doing this, this has brought my confidence up also my other strength were when I used the macro lens, I think my footage turned out very good. My other strengths would be when I had to use Premiere and Photoshop as I have used these programmes before so I were very confident with them. For my weaknesses were the music because after having to listen for the song everyday to make sure all the clips when with the right part I got very bored of it, and became very bored and frustrated of my work.
