Secondary Research StoneBridge Farm (Proposal- for the farm)

I have researched some different animals that are at StoneBridge Farm that I coud use for creating my creatures with, to make them more strange and odd.  The animals that I have decided to take photos of is hens, parrots, guinea pigs, birds, sheep and horses.

The animals that I have decided to combine together to create a new creature is a parrot's and rabbit;s  body with a horse or sheep head. This would make the creature very bizarre because of the bird features to the creature. This woud also be a strange creature that I have created because you wouldn't normally mix animals together to create one fantastic creature.

I would like to create a creature using a rabbit head combined with a cow body to make an interesting creature. The things that I will have to consider whilst photographing the animals would be not to have the flash one. If the flash was on then it would scare the animals from having their photo taken.  Animals don't like being photographed with the flash on.

Another problem that I might have whilst trying to take a photo of the animals is the fact that they are contanstly moving away from the camera. It woud be hard to capture the right part of the animal if they are constantly moving around the farm. Not all animals like to be captured by photos they feel as though it hurts them in their opinion.

The farm has an aviary which is a bird type corner filled with lots of pretty birds. I would like to take some photos of some of the birds to use for my creatures because of the pattern that they have on their back, body. This would make my creature very colourful and pretty. Adding different animals to be mashed together sounds very fun and interesting due to thue fact that some of the animals dont fit together.  Rabbits mashed together with a different animal woould work well because Rabbits are cute and fluffy but another animal joined onto the rabbit would make it very interesting as a brand new creature for The Harry Potter Films.
  
The below shows what sort of animals are at Stone Bridge Farm. These photos also give me an idea of what sort of animals I would like to photograph for my 3 creatures/unique research.  Cows would be hard for me to capture because Cows move alot of the time. I don't think that cows particulpar like being photographed because of the way that they turn  away from people.

I feel that the hardest animal to capture/ take photos on would also be goats because they can sometimes buck people. At the farm there are lots of animals to capture photos with includng  ducks and ponies. These are ever growing meaning that they are never running out of animals. I feel like my creatires are going to work well with the different mixes of animals that a rem't normally joined together to create amazing creatures.  Another problem that  I might have with taking photos of the animals is the fact that the hens/chickens might peck people or move from the spot that you would like them to take the photo with.

The ISO that I will use when I come to capture the animals for the project is probably a 200. This is because I don't want to scare the animals that I will be capturing. I might change the settings a bit to a 400 ISO so the images aren't blurry when I come to take them., I don't want to scare the animals but I don't want a blurry image either. The white balance that I will  select is using  rule of thirds because it captures all of the parts to the animal for each of the shots. I will also use rule of thirds because I can capture all of the parts of the animal that I would like to capture for the board game that I would like to create. If I have a high ISO I might scare the animal of taking the photo because animals don't like cameras as much as people. I feel this would be hard to capture using the ISO of 200/40 because the animal might be constantly moving causing me to change the settings to a higher or a lower setting.

The editing techniques that I intend to use is photo shop. This is because this gives the best quality for the photo. I will use exposures and levels to create  the different effects that is used when editing a photo. Levels and exposures would give the photo a more of a creepy feeling if it is black and white because it gives the photo the horror feeling. I would make the photos that I have chosen black and white to show the Harry Potter horror. This would work well with the board game because it shows how much I have thought about the photo/technique before taking it into account.
