Final Project Proposal

For my final project, I was thinking of doing the song "Play it Again, Sam" by Manchester Orchestra. The song has always meant a lot to me because the feelings and colors associated with it.
One of the major pictures I get when listening to the song is images of body parts. The artist refers to many different body parts in action during the course of the song: "You lift your skinny fists up in the sky", "Your skinny legs bounced up into the sky", "With your fingers crossed you fall against the ground", "Your eyes were glazed and honestly can you remember anything?", and "your prodigal son is on his knees".
I also really like the lyric "When the red and blue lights meet the sea", but I am not sure how I could tie that into the rest of the photos. 
I'll likely have my little sister Brooke for my model because she is still pretty childlike and skinny. Maybe I will do two sets of photos with two different people: Brooke, and someone older (maybe a male) to symbolize the person who is writing the song. I definitely know I'll be dressing up Brooke as childish and feminine as possible, and editing all the photos to look foggy and sad-ish. Lots of greys and blues.

Week 5

My original idea was to do a fashion editorial-style shoot with a "model" doing everyday things... something that looks absolutely ridiculous. Things didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, however, so my theme ended up just being "morning beauty".
