CONCEPT: What is your idea for mythology and/or metaphor, how will you interpret the idea of a visual metaphor and a myth?
 * My idea includes the myth of vampires, so I will focus on the subject's teeth and eyes and blur the subject a bit. I will **
 *  interpret this idea by taking pictures of a person, and then photoshopping their eyes to make them look red and evil, ****with **
 * veins under the eyes to portray hunger. The mouth of the person will be wide open so I can photoshop the teeth into **
 *  looking sharp, with blood running down the side of the mouth. **

SUBJECT: What sorts of images will you need to shoot to create your idea? What will it involve? places, people, costumes, sets,nature, lighting?
 * My idea will require pictures of a person, a dark, spooky background and photoshopped effects to show the mythology in ****vampires. **
 *  I will make the eyes of the subject an unnatural color, emphasize veins, add fangs to their teeth, and blur the ****sides ****of the vampire to **
 * show the belief of their super speed. The lighting required is either natural light or artificial light ****for the ****subject because I am just **
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> going to be Photoshopping them to a naturally lit background. I will need to concentrate on the ****<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">equality of lighting on both the **
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> background and subject because I want to make it seem the subject is meant to be there. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">REASONING: Why do you wish to do this idea? What will you learn from it? How is it interesting to you?
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I want to do this idea because it will require a lot of photoshopping and I will be able to enhance my skills in **
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Photoshop. ****<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also want to do this because it is something different than I've ever done before and I am excited to **
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> see ****<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">how it turns out. ****<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">My idea is interesting to me because of the super natural powers vampires have and I want **
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> to portray ****<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">the mystery about them. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">FACTS: What is the myth/metaphor that you are basing your idea on? Explain it's history and any other pertinent facts regarding the <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">myth/metaphor that will help us understand your idea.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">The myth I am basing my idea on is the belief of vampires. It is told that they are immortal, hate the sunlight, have super speed, **
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> and drink blood. Vampires have been believed to be in existence for thousands of years and there has even been cases of sightings. **
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> It is hard to find a vampire because they are mostly active at night. These beliefs will help understand my idea because I will be **
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">incorporating these beliefs into my piece. **
