Genre: uses a documentary perspective combined with image manipulation.
Techniques: Parke uses digital, black and white photography, in the photo below Parke uses the technique of tracking the car while its moving while taking the photo. Along with what looks like a high ISO.
In the photo below there is a car traveling in the middle of the photo from left to right, the background of the photo is completely blurry and you can see solid lines and shapes, the car is not in complete focus but it is in more focus than the background.
These pictures were taken at the world rally championships in Perth Australia 2002.
I really like how he shows speed in his images, the techniques he uses here makes the car look almost like a painting. The techniques here I find really cool and it would be awesome to put that technique in my images. I like the fact that Parke doesn't use colour in his images, it creates a photo that looks like it wasn't taken at a race track.
Roni Kleiner, Glass Boy, Tel Aviv: Israel, 2011, A television advert.
Kleiner uses animation, realism, symbolism and documentary genres in these series of images which Kleiner took from his own advertisement.
In this digital advertisement Kleiner uses staged scenes and animation to act out the situation of a glass boy being hit by a car.
In the photo below we see a boy in the right hand section of the photograph made of glass. A car which is in contact with him is taking up the right hand section of the photograph. The boy is standing on a pedestrian crossing. The colours in the photograph are quite dull. mainly grey's and white which help to draw out a somber mood from the viewers.
The context behind this photo and the advertisement is the attempt to stop or reduce speeding. The advertisements message "life is fragile" is symbolized by the boy. The advertisement has two parts, the first part is when the car is doing 60mph, the car hits the boy and the boy shatters. The next part is when the car is doing 40mph and when the car hits the boy only his leg breaks. This culture of speeding is what the photos and the advertisement are trying to reduce.
My response to this photo is that it makes me feel sad watching the advertisement and seeing the boy getting hit by the car. It reminds me to watch my speed which is what the advertisement was intended for. With my project I want to produce the same message in terms of I want people to watch their speed also. In seeing my project I want people to notice that there is a problem of speeding on Pukerua Bay roads and I want something to be done about it.
