Session Review
This session I am attempting to finish editing the final film; however, as I
studied the lines of poem my mind conceived ideas that were better compared to
what I had original envisioned. Ideas such as after the photograph of the toy rifle take another
photograph of the river without the rifle and use basic editing techniques like
early 1900 film directors such as Georges Méliès.
Another idea I had for the final shots is to take a close up photograph of an
angel feather and then fade to the clear sky since I believe those two images
would greatly portray the last line of the poem. "In hearts of peace,
under an English heaven."

Visual Black & White Poem Session 8
Sunday 28th December 2014
Session Review
This afternoon I returned to the river to photograph some desired images of higher quality pictures of the sun shining and some toy soldier photographs to represent gentleness. Once I arrived at the river I attempted to capture a ripple in the water for the line in the soldier poem saying, "A pulse in the eternal mind".
Attempting to create this ripple was tedious since at first I stood on a rock in the middle of the river wielding a stick trying and hitting the water trying to make small controlled ripples. My attempts failed so I ventured further north up the stream and simply photographed the sun reflecting of the river and I assumed I captured the ripples of the river moving downstream.
Despite the time it took to capture a ripple I am pleased with the photographs I managed to capture. They were of good quality and served my needs for the poem video.

Visual Black & White Poem Session 7
Saturday 20th December 2014
Session Review
Continuing from yesterday’s session I returned to the river with the toy rifle and proceeded to take new photographs, of the rifle in the river scene. Which had a higher quality because not only, did the phone take the photograph in a landscape format but I was able to walk further north along the river and place the rifle directly in the centre of the stream thanks to this area having pebbles and stones at the bottom?
I was also able to take additional shots of the sky and some extra shots of the river bridge, ducks and woods; however, the most tedious part of today's the session was definitely the lone dog walker that came by and linger there for sometimes and it was awkward enough having to hide the toy rifle in a hiding place I found along the river bed every time.
Overall after a good days work and returning to edit the film soaking wet and covered in mud I am pleased with today's session not only because of the amount of images I was able to capture but because it was quite a small adventure.

Visual Black & White Poem Session 6
Friday 19th December 2014
Session Review
Once I awoke for another day of photography, I equipped the toy rifle and ammo packs and proceeded to travel to the river to take a couple of photographs for some of the images for the poem such as the field, river scene for "let all evil shed away".
The photographs were of good quality thanks to the sun shining brightly today providing good composition especially near the river; however, the images of the rifle placed in the river were taken as a portrait on my phone and not as landscape like the rest of them so I will have to photograph those images again.

Session Review
Today I straightforwardly watched my windows movie maker
draft poem again to gain a clear interpretation of what to photograph
tomorrow. I have also managed to buy the desired toy rifle which is a cowboy
rifle that is similar to the weapons in world war one, so it works; however, I
was unable to find a toy soldier helmet even so they all look like they belong
to world war and onwards. Whereas World War 1 was either an officer cap or
steel bowl-shaped helmet.

Session Review
I decided to create a draft version, of my poem video in windows movie maker. The reason being is so that I can get a clear idea of what images to take while I am outside; however, I still need to do some more secondary research into the attire of world war one. Since the ammo packs I have would fit world war two or Vietnam.
The images I used from the internet were clear enough for me to understand what images to photograph. The video itself portrays my idea in a clear way; all I need to do once taking my own pictures is to make sure the video is coherent.
