Fig.2
Re shot composition -
Different composition, prefer original shot, fig.1,the columns give a more dramatic mood to this scene, making the appearance of the single figure seem insignificant in comparison the building that dominates him, but the calm appearance gives nothing away, unknown who this figure is and what is his purpose.
Fig.3
First shoot with model at this location, strong winds meant I could not do the scenes with the figure holding a paper, also I feel the figure would look better in black and have his legs together.














"Downtown Train" Tom Waits
Still from YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHyvjdn4rFk

Tom Waits American singer-songwriter, composer and actor has a distinctive voice which sound as it has been conditioned with cigarettes and bourbon, his songs focus on mood rather than narrative. Characters within Waits songs are rooted in American mythology, coming from tough guys, and film noir. (Rachlis, 1976).

His album Nighthawks at the Diner was released in 1975, the title to the album was inspired by Edward Hoppers 1942 painting entitled Nighthawks.

Still from YouTube: them crooked vultures, 1st September 2009

Dave Grohl, Joshua Homme and John Paul Jones have got together and formed them crooked vultures. This still is from a taster video from their YouTube link.

Again with the smart gentleman appearance only this time with vultures heads.

With both the avengers image and the one above, the well dressed gentleman carries with him a respectability in the eyes of society, nevertheless appearances can be deceiving, people are easily fooled and having wealth does not make you purer.

Location: St.George's Hall 16:30 - 18:00

The wind is starting to pick up in Liverpool which is making certain idea's tricky to accomplish, as with this scene of the Gentleman with the paper.

I want all black attire with this scene, respectable gentleman, wanting to keep the identity a mystery the subject will be as if reading a paper and keeping up with society.

The building behind will seem as if it is welcoming our gentleman inside but there would for some people I believe a moment of apprehension, due to the overwhelming size difference and what awaited them. Yet our gentleman does not give this feeling I would expect, suddenly the feeling of apprehension has been replaced with curiosity towards our individual, his calm actions to me tells me he may not be as insignificant as the city is trying to make him believe.
