I like the motion blur and the light trails from the long exposure. It gives a sense of mystery that I like, and the editing of "e" really brings that out due to the darker values. I feel that the brighter images are not as effective because they do not establish the right mood. Darkness is innately ominous.

This shot is appealing to me because of the use of the car to allow the viewer to feel an impact through the lights and motion. In this shot, my boyfriend was actually on the hood of the car. I feel that more creative uses for light during the shoot would have greatly aided the shot. I prefer edits "b" and "d" because the darker contrast feels more ominous, while allowing texture in "b" with the smoke, and black negative space in "d." I do not think that color has much of a place in this series, as it allows too much to be familiar to the viewer.

I love that she appears to be pulling on a mask, with the body strewn over what can vaguely be identified as the back of a car. I really enjoy the energy it gives, but wish it were sharper. "C" or "e" are my favorite edits because I feel that they are a more harmonious concentration of value and detail. They obstruct enough to keep identities unknown and the image more detached.

What I have planned to do in the future is to contact my friend who is interested in special effects make-up and see if he can contribute, as well as scavenge around for more light sources to toy around with and find creative ways to make them work. I wish to continue working during the night, but may think to include dusk and dawn. I want to keep faces to a minimum, and try to keep the theme of detachment/mystery/horror in the series. I will push myself further in being creative with the shots and aim to make them as variant in scene as they are harmonious in theme.
