I decide to have an exploration of another emotion- Loneliness.  I manage to use long time exposure to create the kind of effect that somebody sitting in the middle of the street while the others just walk around like he is not existed.  Testing I wait until the sunset(The golden hour) to shoot as long time exposure requires the kind of environment with soft light.  Issues: 1. it is better to use a filter to do long-time exposure as there are not must people on the street at sunset. 

"Don't play saft." I was focusing on the concept of the two face expression poster about depression last week. From the feedback from my tutor, i think the way i am developing the project is too predicable/obvious. I can explore some other media to reveal the same concept. At this stage, we are expecting to work explore different way to express rather than drawing a good picture. My tutor also advises that i can apply medias that connecting to my own culture rather than trying to using western media. I was going to make a poster feels like it before, but I think i should do more explore now.

assumed Customer: wellington wellness centre I was collecting more image about expression of depression. I keen to create a poster with either an illustration or a photographic style.

Originally, there are four emotions that i think i am interesting in.  Depression/frustration: I was inspired by the image above, a certain expression might be relative to a certain emotion but a certain emotion does not have to be expressed in the  same way.  In another word, i can use two different facial expression to reveal the same emotion (depression or frustration). Anger:  It is such a strong expression.  Bored: It could be funny. Loneliness: I think it can be illustrated with a certain composition.  Sketch about the 4 different emotion:

The contrast between the annoying environment and the satisfied face is just intriguing.
