Originally, this project was going to be //Fear Landscape (//presented as a film) where a girl enters a room and she has to face all of her fears. We decided to ditch the idea, as we weren't agreeing on anything. So we idled for a bit, just thinking and the idea of //Thirds// came to my mind and the girls extended on it. Maddie's finished //Thirds// photo is at the bottom of this page, along with a description.

These are three of the photos that have taken and have edited:
 * These photos were taken, edited and posted before we started //Thirds.// These were just us mucking around really*

We have changed our project to //Thirds. Thirds// is just splitting your personality/things you love that make you who you are up into thirds and assigning them either head, torso or legs. I will use Maddie's //Thirds// as an example. She loves maths, reading and cadets. Head: in front of a white board with a diversity of math problems, formulas, etc Torso: library, in front of a book shelf Legs: in cammo pants, in front of a bush thingy

22/11/13 I wasn't available for part of Wednesday's lesson and Maddie was unavailable when I came back as she had music, so Jorja and I decided to just have a bit of a play with the whole 'double standards' with guys and girls and how girls need to 'walk the line' between 'too sexy' and 'not sexy enough'. If girls do participate in acts of intimacy then they are __ called by a number of derogatory names __. //But//, if a girl //doesn't// engage in sexual activity then she's __ also referred to by a number of other derogatory names __. So, I think I speak for the majority of the female population when I say that I find this absolutely disgusting, so Jorja and I took to the camera:
 * These are just drafts of what I want the actual photo to look like, I don't want the words edited onto the photo the way I did, and the good photo will be up as soon as I have edited it
 * this is a single photo (Taken by: Jorja)(Model: Paige) and it has just been edited various times



^So that's what I've got so far, but as I said -wrote?- earlier we'll have a better photo, hopefully, this time next week

4/12/13 I did originally have a photo up with things that girls are called, but //apparently// we're not allowed to show people how disgusted we are with double standards. The words we used (that are used everyday) in our photo were too 'rude', 'disgraceful' and it was 'just against the rules' ^According to my teacher I should apologize for my 'inappropriate language', but that would mean that I am sorry and that would be a lie. I prefer not to lie. So, I will try to find a 'safer' way to show you guys this photo ~Over and out

This project has changed a lot from your original ideas. Do you have further plans for the 'Thirds' project? Are you using Wednesday time to work on this or are you doing something else in that time? What tools did you use to produce and edit your thirds images? Were they easy or hard to use? Explain some of the steps you had to take when using the tools. Thank you..

>In regards to your 'Thirds' questions.. Well, my (Paige) 'Thirds' did //not// work out, so we're just splitting me in two (which we will put up when it's complete) And, Jorja's 'Thirds' is still in planning, so we will try it again on Wednesday... We didn't do anything excessively fancy with Maddie's 'Thirds'. We just took three individual photos, cropped them and put them together. Anyone could do it really. *Cropping and putting them together was done in Picasa 3

Hello Paige, Jorja and Maddie, I am smashingly impressed with how your ideas and media creations are coming together. You have set an excellent standard. I am going to make some edits here due to this being a school space - though I love the originals as they are and will always be happy to see them as you completely intend in the right setting. The concepts and thinking/ideas are sophisticated and I appreciate what you are aiming to do and how you are going about the telling and sharing of stories through the mediums you are choosing to learn/experiment with/use. The edits are just along the lines of like when a song on the radio blanks some words at certain times.
