Brainstorm

1. My first idea was to take close up photos of Bongo's face as he is running. I thought this would be a good idea because it would be interesting to see what a dog's face looks like when they run. I also think it would be good because we could compare his face in each stage that he runs.
2. My next idea was to compare a dogs movement to different animals of a different build or shape, for example to find out if a dog moves like a horse or a rabbit.
3. I had another idea which was to take photos of Bongo in different leg positions in each stage of his run. I thought this would be interesting because it shows how a dog runs and we don't normally notice this so it will be giving an insight into how they run.
4. Another idea was to create a sequence of photos of Bongo with the same background behind him so that I could put them altogether. I could develop this idea by taking photos of Bongo running towards me so that he gets bigger and bigger with the same background. I could then make the photos appear then disappear for the next photo in the sequence to appear and make it look like Bongo is coming towards the viewer.
Another way of developing this idea is to capture different types of sequences, for example a sequence of Bongo running, waking, jumping and leaping towards me. These pictures could then be put into a very short, slow animation of Bongo. By replacing the last picture with the newer one, it will create the effect that Bongo is moving but it is only in the animation.
5. As I was doing the experiments above, I thought to myself how I could make this project better. I came up with the idea to document a dogs life in motion and out. This got me thinking that I could compare a life of a dog to a life of a cat and documenting them.
6. The animals I had been photographing recently all had four legs and were healthy, but what about the ones that aren't. I had the idea of photographing a dog with three legs or had something that stopped them from moving like a normal dog. I could then compare how the different dogs move.
7. Another idea was to take photos of the cycle of an animal being alive to being eaten and the energy that the person gets from eating the animal would be photographed as well. The movement of the person could be compared to the movement of the animal to see if they move the same.
8. Another idea was to take photos of well known phrases to do with animals. For example a bull in a china shop or running like a headless chicken.
9. An idea with potential is taking photos of sports logos with animals on them and to see how people move in them. This could be compared to how the animal moves.
10. Also, an idea was to photograph or film animals in public transport and how they behave.
11. Seeing things from an animals point of view is a good idea if I could attach a camera to Bongo and then see what he does on a walk and the things he sees.
