Here I wanted to use the mirror so she is staring into her refection and her attempting to change the way she see's it. I thought that this picture was a bit grainy and grey at first but after the change of the white balance it came out looking like an old photograph which is what I wanted.

In my version of this image I wanted to depict a person's alter ego telling them to change and be different.  The higher figure is the alternative personality holding the smaller figures mouth. I tried as best as possible to copy the outfit and positions of the original.

I was excited about this image because of my idea behind it. I wanted to show how what children are like reliant on now compared to then, I know that the child in this image by Cecil Beaton was in a hospital during the war but I think the dependancy on the teddy bear is the same but for a phone now

# data[].attributes.body
For my final piece I will be choosing some of my researched artists and emulating their work whilst showing a modern style.
For my pictures I want to show how much women care about what they look like and how they are supposed too, I think that the 'perfect woman' is pushed so much through social media, society and celebrities.
From doing my primary research I learned that the 'ideal woman' has always been shown, especially through art.With these pictures I want to show I have taken these original photographs and been able to picture what  women are conscious about.  It is very common now, especially for young girls who are  constantly see these skinny, airbrushed women on giant billboards and other media. From personal experience I know what it feels like to think that you have to look like a certain way, it can take up a big part of your life.
I decided to copy the the figures and tones in these photographs, because immediately I had an idea about how I could recreate with things that are happening now.  Sticking with my research I have tried to create the style of photography during the 20's,  I was worried because my pictures were a bit underexposed and I though they looked grainy  but this ended up fitting the style I was creating. I have decided to call this project analog; which is another version in a different way, this is what my final piece's are.

After having the first crit I soon realised that maybe my initial ideas had a lots of holes in it, because I wanted to contrast how women socially act now compared to back in the 1920's. For my shoot I wanted to place my 'flapper girl' in a busy environment but the more I tried to plan I realised that the message and idea would not be clear. Although I did not take any test shoots for my first idea as I carried on researching and realised that there are not any big significant changes, if I wanted to do this project I think I would research way before the 20's because a lot changed for women during this time. I am very happy about how the crit went because now I am able to create something which excites me more and I get to re-create some of my favourite artists' work.
The big change in my project is now I will be using the influences from Tom Hunter and Gregory Crewdson each of these artists recreate original photographs and add their own twist on them, using them as my influential artists I will be working using their techniques and style I will be able to emulate on my own. I decided to use these two artists because I think it is very smart and effective how they have created a 21st century style, since the first time I saw Tom Hunters' work I immediately liked it and wanted to try and recreate myself.
I will be re creating work from artists listed below, I will emulate the photographs and from their like Tom Hunter and Gregory Crewdson I shall be interpreting social messages and stories that are around now. I am going to be very intricate with how and what I will be shooting, I will eventually want my finished photo looking similar to the artist it derives from, I aim to make my photos look like they are old and as if they had been taken during the 20's.
Furthermore I am happy I decided to change my project due to how much I have enjoyed thinking about what I am going to do for my final piece, although I thought my first idea for the project was good I think I would not of had such motivation because of how I would capture the idea and message behind it.

What were the do's and dont's for women? 

# data[].attributes.body
Before the war women were supposed to stay home, cook, clean and look after the family. They were not allowed to take part in anything political not even talk of it, men were viewed higher than women and were respected more. Whilst the men were away fighting of course the women were getting employed for more 'man like jobs'. After the law for women to vote came through, their etiquette became more outlandish. Girls were allowed to drive cars, smoke in public, danced and were sexually liberated. Skirts became shorter and shorter and no young women would dress like their mothers, the flapper girl trend caught on and was imitated all over the world.

What is a flapper girl? These were the young girls of the 20's who had chopped all their hair off, ran around doing what they wanted, they all held a very progressive attitude they believed in change and progress.  F. Scott Fitzgerald describes the perfect flapper to be 'expensive,  lovely and about nineteen' Flappers held normal jobs during the daytime, a lot were working with telephones as the use of them was becoming more popular. During the evening flappers were at speakeasies and underground clubs, here they performed, women of the twenties held the same care-free attitude like the men. Due to the prohibition alcohol was not allowed in these venues but these girls did not care and the seemed to drink more alcohol than men did. Before the 20's women did not smoke as it was not advised for women, flapper girls did not agree with that and smoked freely, where and when they wanted. Women wanted to elimeinate social double standards. https://www.thoughtco.com/flappers-in-the-roaring-twenties-1779240

The jazz was a big turning point in the 20's, it was the end of World War 1 and the end of the Great Depression. Young people especially women decided to live the free lifestyle and changed the way they were supposed to look. The dresses became shorter, every woman's hair was in a short bob and all the young girls wanted to be a flapper.
Jazz music really took off and people migrated from New Orleans to New York and Chicago, this lead to a variety of different genres of jazz coming out from different cities. The African Americans were played a crucial role in the birth of jazz, the introduced the Charlestone which is developed from African Americans. This dance was used throughout the United States danced by many young Americans.

What am I doing and why?
For this assignment I would like to compare and contrast two time periods, I am going to be looking into the social etiquette and how it has progressed in many ways and how some rules that still apply. I initially started off wanted to focus on Art Deco period but the 1920's was very important for women the law about voting was lifted. Not to mention the twenties is also known as the jazz age, the end of the great depression jazz music took off. This inspired young men and women to play music, dance and express themselves.
