Photos matching Lyrics.. Photography Ideas... Please help, year 12 subject!!!!

May 3rd, 2012

For my year twelve photography I need to take 5 photos that represent the lyrics and meaning of the song. After a lot of looking and swapping iv finally chosen 'Jet lag' by simple plan. I would love some ideas of possible photos I could take, I'm also aloud to edit the photos so any ideas would be great!!! Thanks x

Jet lag Lyrics:

What time is it where you are?
I miss you more than anything
Back at home you feel so far
Waitin' for the phone to ring
It's gettin’ lonely livin’ upside down
I don't even wanna be in this town
Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin' me crazy

You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's driving me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

What time is it where you are?
Five more days and I'll be home
I keep your picture in my car
I hate the thought of you alone
I've been keepin' busy all the time
Just to try to keep you off my mind
Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin’ me crazy

You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's drivin' me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Is so jet lagged

I miss you so bad [x5]
I wanna share your horizon
I miss you so bad
And see the same sunrising
I miss you so bad
Turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me.

You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's drivin' me mad
I miss when you say good morning
But it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's drivin' me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

It looks like you've chosen a song with a lot of good words: Car, Time, Driving,Phone, Midnight, Sunset and more. Perhaps if you thought of this as a music video and created a scene or two and did others in a more abstract artistic way, for example, just a sunset this task would not seem so overwhelming.

The point of such an assignment is to get you to give your personal interpretation, which is why you probably wont' get a flood of responses here.

Recently there was a one night challenge in which every day was a different style of photography: Street, Macro, Low Light, Selfie, SOOC, Long exposure and b&w. You could also choose five styles and show your range as a photographer that way. Or choose one style, like just b&w or just street photography and shoot all five photos in that style.

From the grades you received in this class you know best what will impress the teacher.

Good luck. I'm sure you will do well on this.

The line 'I keep your picture in my car' should be good. I reckon a photo propped up next to the dashboard and the driver (you?) looking at it as they drive along. Obviously don't actually be driving though.

I tend to agree with Sheila that it should be your interpretation - the idea of choosing different styles to represent different parts of the song could work very well. The ring on a book casting a heart shadow might work as a close-up? As you're near water look out for a sunset/silhouette... they can always have that faraway look about them and a panoramic shot might suit the song...?
Good luck - I'm sure you'll do marvellously... remember to post them here so we can enjoy them later! :)
