I've also got a pretty neat shooting script due next Saturday. My "Halloween Scripts" involve everything from my greatest fears to my personal demise. Check the list out and tell me what you think:
1. A jack o’lantern lit from within if at all possible. Otherwise, something else lit from within.
2. Represent fear or something you are scared of; or make something normally not scary frightening by how you photograph it.
3. Make a picture of something frightening, scary, or dreadful.
4. Make a picture of something sweet nice or cute.
5-10. 5 different pictures of people in costumes. Talk to them and have them pose in character for you!
11-14 . (4 pictures) Symbolically represent mortality; death. Consider that all life and beauty ends. Think about the Latin phrase Memento mori, meaning "Remember you will die." It is a phrase that has a tradition in art that dates back to antiquity. It names a genre of artistic creations that vary widely from one another, but which all share the same purpose: to remind people of their own mortality. The vanity of earthly riches and the idea that no one can escape death are also common themes in this tradition.
15-19. Stage your own demise. Use the camera’s self-timer and improvise a tripod. (5 pictures minimum) This is a set or series of pictures. You can shoot the same idea from different angles or in different ways, or do up to six different ideas. Remember this is a staged photo so there is no reason to do anything remotely dangerous!!!
20-25. The rest of the roll should be devoted to pictures that are of or about Halloween or related subjects, such as the Memento mori, or the Day of the Dead; you may return to the assigned photos above and repeat them; otherwise you may shoot whatever you like, as long as it can be understood as spooky or scary in some way.
