Composition: I used framing to emphasis the subjects and the beautiful landscape in the background. I kept the lighting to a minimum to focus on the figures and the landscape at once.
Concept: I wanted to create a violent, humorous, and romantic scene all at once.
Method: This was during my trip in California with my girlfriend and we made plenty of videos like these just for fun. These were all very spontaneous.
Context: I could see this being related to social issues on what people expect out of relationships.
Motivations: The only motivation here was to create something fun to remember.
Interpretation: No one really viewed this during the critique because it was set up at my computer. However, a few people did watch it and the only reaction I received was it was violent, cute, and romantic all at once.
Evaluation: Apparently the emotional value that is taken away from this piece is working well.
Extension: I could see this as a series of stop motion films, narrating my life.
Composition: I used framing and cropping to create this unique multiple personality constructed identity.
Concept: This image is about a constructed identity that everyone has, everyone has multiple personalities.

Motivations: The subject is very outgoing and spontaneous and I wanted a way to depict her appropriately.
Interpretation: Classmates saw this is a humorous image that gave of her identity.
Evaluation: I wish I would have made the background white instead of the tan tone. I think this would have been more successful.
Extension: In the near future I think I would want to piece different ages, different genders, and races.
Composition: Here I wanted to the emphasis to focus on the camera lens and the image depicted in the lens. The lighting and contrast helps the focus as well.
Concept: This image is about being able to enter a new world through photography.

Composition: I used perspective, framing, and lighting to create something that is thought not to be possible.
Concept: Here I wanted to create a view that the viewer would have to think about. Things that are not easily depicted I feel hold more interest.
Method: I began to manipulate lighting and adding lighting to other images that had little or none.
Motivations: This is along the same lines of my final project so that is what motivated me.
Context: I feel this can speak to a social issue on how people care too much about how they look, and everyone wants to be in the spot light.
Interpretation: Others had a hard time interpreting this image.
Evaluation: Not many people understood what this was without a description which I think adds to the confusion and what I was going for. So that is working well as well as the contrasting elements.
Extension: My final project is along the same lines, and hoping this will help me in that aspect.
