For this unit on self-portraits we are exploring the work of Cindy Sherman and connecting her ideas on portraiture, especially staging and dramatic lighting that she executed for her Untitled Film Stills series, to our "B Movie" self-portraits. To get us thinking about how we can place ourselves in a "B Movie" environment, please post a picture of "B Movie" poster on your blog for this week. After you post the picture briefly describe what you imagine the movie to be about. After that brief description, discuss how you would create a self-portrait done in the style of that poster. Your description should be realistic as to what you personally own for costuming, where in your community you could stage it, how you would create dramatic lighting, and finally what emotion or mood you would want to create in the photograph. Your description can even include a back-story or script to your own "B Movie" if you want, but this is not required. Have fun with it!
