Sketches–Monochrome

This past week we had in-class time to shoot our texture assignments.  I feel like it went fairly well.  Our film has been taken off for development so I’ll get that back in a few days to see how it turned out.  (Perfectly, I hope.  One can hope, right?)

This coming week we will be shooting our Monochrome.  The idea is to have a black object on a black background or a white object on a white background.  You should be able to tell a difference between the item and background but without the colors turning to grey.  It should be black black or white white, just not grey black or grey white.

Once again, we are turning in our idea sketches for our teacher to approve or disapprove.  Here they are:

Other backup ideas include eggs (real or painted cardboard ones from Hobby Lobby), or a plastic animal of some sort, also painted accordingly.

Also, Mr. P., does white tend to be easier than black to shoot?  It seemed that way when you did the demo, but I can do either colour.  Also, will we be using two lights or just one still?  I couldn’t remember and the powerpoint posted on Angel didn’t specify, I don’t think.  (I’ll double check on that.)
