Proposal

To product my final image i will have to use White paper, Blue tack/ tags, table, wall or board to stick sheet too, two Red heads (lights), camera, SD card, object that I'm photographing, a computer with photoshop and a tripod.
What i am going to do to get the correct lighting for my studio set up is set the object in the middle of the peice of paper and then i will use red heads or soft boxs to light up the top and sides of the object so there isnt any shadows coming off the object and i will have one at the top because i will be taking the image from the top looking down so i can see the full detail of the images and i will also get someone to be my model for me so i can take pictures of their face. 
To produce my Pop Art assignment i will have to bring in my own props for example i am going to bring in:
  • Old Film Camera
  • Old tapes
  • Headphones
  • Phone and lens
  • Bottle
  • Chocolate bar
  • PC keyboard
  • slinky 
  • Someones face
  • Record 
The things that u will have to take into consider are that i will have to use a low ISO which is the light intake and a lower ISO means more detail, that's very important because these images are being blown up to A3 size. My ISO will be at 100. The shutter speed will be whatever because it doesn't really matter when its on a tripod and as for the depth of field it needs to be shallow because we don't really want the background in so the aperture will be wide which is about F4. WHile i am editing the pictures im Photoshop i will have to be careful not to go over the top with the colours overall on each image and to start the editing i will use the pen tool to cut around the edges of the final images and then i will drop them onto a white background. Next i will have to use different Colour over lays and Gradient overlays and to get to this you have to double click on the layer that you want to change and then the Layer Style will pop up.
Then i divided a page into 4 boxes equil size and then i put four images onto each picture with all different styles of editing to show what i can do while trying not to go over the top with them.

PopArt research

Pop art is most associated with the artwork of New York artists of the early 1960s such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Roseniquist and Claes Oldenburg, however the artists that drew on popular imagery were part of an international phenomenon in various cities from the mid 1950s. Pop Art evolved from the growing interest in thw world of popular culture, to an art movement of its own right, due to artists such as Andy Warhol and David Hockney. Their pop art was often in the form of screen prints of everyday objects, colourfully presented. Some of the famous artists of Pop Art are Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Roseniquist, Claes Oldenburg and David Hockney. In the Pop Art images they used everyday objects such as Games Consoles, Kitchen appliances, Cars, Coka Cola and Shoes and also cartoons. I think that the Pop Art photos were created. They used different ways to create Pop Art pictures such as they used to screen print then by using a special sort of ink and also they used to hand draw them which they usualy used hand drawn one in comics. Pop Art images could be used for a number of different things such as Cartoons, Photographs in art galaries and they could use them as posters and t-shirt designs. The products that pop art could be used to advertise are Fizzy drinks, Childrens toys, Cartoons and Album art.
