The Birthday Party

The Birthday Party

'The Birthday Party' was a task which involved a photo shoot using the theme of a 'birthday party' using a genre of our choice. 

As part of the preparation for this task, I gathered props together to create a realistic looking party. As it has recently been my younger sister's birthday, i had all of the props etc. that we needed. The colour scheme we chose was pink, as we had originally intended for our model to be a young girl having a party, but when we started to put everything together, we changed our mind. This is because we believed that a boy dressing up as a girl would be more comical to fit our genre.

The props we used were; a table cloth, balloons, plates and cutlery, cupcakes, candles, bowls, confetti and birthday cards. 

Here is my rough draft of how i wanted my table spread to look: 

Here are the final images from our 'Birthday Party' photo shoot: 

The Story

My story was about a 40 year old man who was always treated as a girl when he was younger because his parents always wanted a baby girl and instead they had a boy.
So, because of the way he was treated, this had an affect on him psychologically and now he enjoys pretending to be a girl at the age of 40.
