Crawley Future's Treatment

(L3) Photography Project Treatment Form

1 Type of production and brief details on Subject/Concept that you wish to portray:

An apocalyptic concept, loosely based on the work of James Chadderton who produced the Manchester Apocalypse Exhibition in early 2012. I took inspiration from this and decided to work with it as it had a dark and terror-filled outlook – something Crawley is starting to represent within itself. I will produce shots of large and well-known buildings throughout Crawley town and edit them to give an apocalyptic feel.

2 Facilities: What facilities do you need for this project list all including software and hardware for the whole project

A zoom camera, possibly with tripod. The main facility I will need for this project is Photoshop, as shots will be only of the location and will need to be edited heavily. Contrast and brightness will be altered.

3 Finance: If you produced this project outside of the college you need to show how much it would cost to hire the equipment that you intend to use. List the item and the purchase/hire cost next to it

Item Purchase/hire cost Canon camera £586 Canon zoom lens – 55mm – 250 mm £137.90 Canon tripod with carry case (used) £12.12 Adobe Photoshop 10 £79.10

4 Codes of practice and regulation: What regulations to you need to be aware of. Think about college policy as well as regulatory bodies that you looked at in Term 1 Assignment 2, Worksheet 1.6 Regulation and Safety notes. Say why they are relevant to your project.

I must not harm the public or myself. I must not take pictures of people who have not agreed to be shot – especially children (however this will not be a problem for this particular project as I will only be photographing buildings.) I must give the college a respectable name by being professional at all times.

5 Contributors: Who do you need to help this for you project? This includes talent and crew.

Crew and Role No talent and crew needed as only buildings will be shot for this project. Possibly someone to help with tripod. Talent and Role

6 Presentation: How will you present the pictures for the factsheet/leaflet? Can you give some rough thumbnails of the final layout?

Manchester Apocalypse Exhibition

Mankind has always found appeal in the end game.



 There's something thereuptic in imagining the whole thing gone, all the vanity and pride of human ambition reduced to a backdrop of terror.

James Chadderton has opened up his invisagement to the public, showing an apocalptic Manchester. He has smashed Manchester up. The Town Hall is a blasted husk, Urbis is a shattered shell, the Palace Theatre is wrecked. There are no people, they are killed or gone, the streets are empty. The artists claims his inspiration came from various films and computer games with a story line of civilization coming to a destructive end - and inspiration is hardly scarce. I Am Legend and 28 Days Later are only two of many films produced involving some kind of apocolyptic plot.

One Manchester based website reviewed the exhibition by saying - "It's as though down there a survivor is attempting to make his lonely existence bearable by painting the empty, dead streets above. A warning to the future spelling out very clearly that Time will tear down whatever we build."
