I really enjoyed doing this task as it required us being creative and experimental. I would really like to do this again.
First we created the scene on the floor using a variety of materials, card, cotton wool etc. We then placed the person in the scene and made sure everything was positioned correctly. We then went to a place which was above (the top floor of my college) and took pictures!
