This week in school we were introduced to our tragedy project and tragedy essay. My idea for my tragic project is to take a alter ego photo. I think that photography can represent tragedy very well if you have a story and purpose behind it. My idea for my photo is to have an alter ego with myself. I want to have one part of my self being the rich royal person and the other side of me being the peasant or fallen person. Aristotle describes tragedy as being a well known or royal person has made their fallen from their arrogant ways that is caused by themselves and receive a punishment that is to severe for their crime. So that is why one part of me is the royal side and then other is more like the peasant, I also want to make it look like the royal side of me will be stepping on the peasant side of me. I found a you tube video that is going to show how to create the alter ego photography.
aha sounds like you really know what you want to do and set to go. That's nice.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great idea. The tragedy of what you're trying to capture in the photograph sounds like you're going to show the Royal ego had lost everything and had to become a peasant. Are you going to be PhotoShopping the pictures together to make it look like the royal side is stepping on the peasant side?
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with everyone, I really like you photo idea for the tragedy project. It's simple yet very creative and you can make it however you want to portray tragedy, which seems like you want to add an alter ego in there. I'm looking forward to see how you project turns out, Goodluck!(:
ReplyDeleteSdyney this is a very interesting idea. Very original i am really interested to know how you are going to take the pictures. I thinkn that since you are doing a alter ego picture of yourself, you should do a more realistic picture instead of super rich and a peasant, because you r not a peasant. Maybe think of tying the theme of your essay in with your creation
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of the image you are thinking of creating for your tragedy project. I was thinking about doing a similar style representation.
