Child Character

Undecided on how I may want my child to look, i created 4 different outcomes to help me decide. This would be the character in which the shadow will loom over, to show an intimidated child, and a violent parent.

1st

Was a vector style, and coloured a similar way, this seemed to sharp and clean cut

2nd

Was the blacked out image of the child, this wasn't very clear and difficult to make out the shape of, but i thought that when the shadow is applied, maybe people will work out what it is suppose to be easier.

3rd

Was black and white, this seemed quite bland, and didn't really draw my eye to it

4th

Was coloured, but made to look like a child had coloured it in, this was to emphasise the fact that this was a child and make the audience show empathy towards the child.

Light box

Now to coincide to the new idea, I have added the shape of the woman to the light box, so that when the other light is used to create the shadow the baby and the woman will disappear.

Here is an image of how it may look, i had to change the levels and vibrance so that the image was visible, the camera quality wasn't as good as it could of been.

Shadow Poster Design

Here is a poster design, i used type that was tight and quite aggressive looking, as i wanted it to suggest abuse, just by looking at the font, it's also sharp, and a sans serif, as this is suited to my title, a serif font would create an older style look.

Shadow Posters

Here is how i am going to make the posters that create a contrast, the first will be based around light and below, is the second part to this, creating the shadow's using a light source towards the poster, below i have shown how it might look, one without an image and the second with an image on the poster.

LightBox

Here, i spray painted a box, and cut out the image of the foetus leaving a thin line for the light to show, experimenting I found that the effect of creating the light to stick in the eye, didn't work, after discussing with friends and family, we came up with the idea of just creating a quick flash, like from a camera, as these stick quite strongly in the eye, and to see if these have the same effect. If this turns out not to work, i will then go on to work with the idea below this post.

Pregnant woman

Here I printed out the image of the pregnant woman onto A3, and then projected the baby shape onto the poster, the main idea now is to create posters that could work well with the projection of an image, the baby and pregnant woman are the start, I will now go on to create other light boxes to project other images onto posters made by myself, relating to adoption, and lighting up an adults life. This isnt to scale, and will look different in the final show.

Light

Then by accident using the image i had made, i shone the light and it created the effect below..

I felt as though this was similar to how an ultrasound would look, so i felt this would work, and become quite effective.
