Camera Lens Project

For this project, I am given various different camera views to depict in any medium and any fashion I decide to use. I am using a series of seven images to tell a story from a song I chose called Carolina Drama by the Raconteurs. Each of these images are going to use different mediums that I will combine together for each panel in a pop art type of style.

The song tells the story of a woman and her two sons who live together in a house in South Carolina with the woman's boyfriend. Billy, the oldest son, witnesses his mother's boyfriend trying to strangle and beat his father, the priest, to death in their home from an outside window. Upset and disgusted by this terrible display of aggression, Billy grabs the bottle of milk from the back porch and storms in the house. He strikes and kills the boyfriend with the glass bottle and his mother tells him that the priest is his father and he had been paying all the bills. At the end of the song, the younger brother of Billy enters the room with a bottle of Gin and the milkman's hat drunken and singing.

I am going to use digital photographs that I plan to manipulate in photoshop to show the seven different camera views. I also plan to use filters to get different textures for the photographs. I am going using hand drawn elements to make the images graphic and unique. In each image, I want to include a comic book style narration or dialogue box with the lyrics from the song.
