Project 1 Proposal 2
1. Formal Properties of the Photographic Series
This series will focus on the Starscream figurine, emphasizing its bright red, blue, and silver colors and the detailed mechanical design of the figure. Each photo will highlight Starscream’s bold and commanding presence by using dramatic lighting to make the reflective surfaces and textures stand out. The neon cityscape in the background, with vibrant blues and purples, will create a strong contrast with Starscream's warm colors, making the figurine the central focus. The compositions will include close-up shots to capture details like Starscream's face and chest and wide-angle shots to show off the full wingspan, creating a sense of power and scale. Shadows and reflections will be carefully used to create depth, tying the figurine to the futuristic setting and enhancing the overall atmosphere of the images.
2. Conceptual Intentions and Aims
This series is designed to explore themes of ambition, power, and the tension between loyalty and self-interest—key aspects of Starscream’s character. By placing the figurine in neon-lit, futuristic settings, the series imagines a world where leadership and personal ambition collide, reflecting Starscream’s constant struggle for dominance. Techniques like low-angle shots will make the figurine appear more imposing, while strategic lighting will add drama and tension to each image. The goal of the series is to celebrate Starscream as a memorable and complex character in the Transformers universe while also encouraging viewers to think about the themes of ambition and conflict that make his story so compelling.
