Motion Experiments

Using the aperture on my Canon eos 350D I began experimenting to see how long i would need to set it, to give a sense of movement. I didn't want to much motion as I needed the image to be visible and the main objects clear, so it was obvious that you could see someone being hurt but also have the effect of speed in the process.

Test 1

I started with the aperture on 6, my result below:

As you can see there was minimal movement displayed, as it took the picture quite rapidly unexpectedly, but there was a nice form appearing on my left arm, I felt I wanted something like that for the whole of the image.

Test 2

I then increased the aperture to 9, my result below:

This created a nicer image, as you can see the blur occurred all over, but once again it seemed to happen quite fast, so i couldn't really get the movement of an arm swinging to hit someone into the image so I tried again, using the same setting...

As you can see this worked well the second time, as there was enough movement and enough of the image picked up, it wasn't to blurry and it upheld the motion feel i was trying to create, i then carryed on experimenting, just to make sure that this would be the best result.

Test 3

Here i then set the aperture onto 13 to see the different outcome:

As you can see, the movement for this was a little bit more rapid than before, I quite like the outcomes, but feel I now need to test real/staged situation's to create my look of an abused child.
