I am looking to work on an expansion of a recent project that consisted of ten iconic portraits of famous females portrayed by myself. The final series of work was displayed in a zine, mimicking the DIY music zones of the '70s, but I also explored film, newspaper prints and framed pieces. I would like to further my exploration into both film and printing in newspaper format.
I want to keep the original boundaries of the project as my own surroundings as I still want that 'teenage' feel of pretending to be a celebrity.
I would also want to experiment with portraying male celebrities as well as female.
Resources I envisage being required are magazines and images from the 1960's till the present day to configure who I will represent and also what was there most iconic 'look'. Also other resources may include TV & film, music lyrics and album artwork from the era of which they are best known from.
I want to improve my skills in digital manipulation of images as well as using the moving image to capture the essence of impersonating a celebrity.
I do also want to experiment with analogue photography as my last project was based in digital photography due to it being the most cost effective.
My aim is to have a few polished shots by the first mid-review as well as have at least one piece of filming done and edited to be shown. Research wise, I will be researching as I go along to adequately explore my ideas, both to start and ideas that I come across along the way.
I would like to achieve a direct critique on the celebrity and the celebrity in the media, I want this to be a clear statement from my work.
