Secondary research can be a range of sources which can include the use of the internet, radio, books, podcasts, newspapers and so on. Secondary research is another way to gather information possibly on a larger scale or lower scale instead of doing it yourself. Plus the use of any pictures that need writing about. The point of secondary research is to collect and maybe even the summary of what has been gathered from one of the options stated.
The pros to using secondary research to primary research is the way in which the research has been analysed and filtered out upon the release of the information. Another pro is the way in which secondary research is faster and easier to collect, it is up to the person from there to find the data for what needs to be found out.
The negatives of secondary research to primary research is the research may not be detailed enough for what the researcher wants or may not include a small detail that needs to be known.
Using the website www.citethisforme.com/cite/website i could get images of some ideas that is similar on what i want to do. I wanted to do some secondary research based on the idea i have for my project by doing this it will allow me to get inspiration. Things that i could get inspiration from is lighting, Mise-en-scene, camera, costumes, props, locations/settings, the narrative and the story line of the pictures.
The link below will show a picture of a person with a mask on, the reason why i choose this for my research is because of the way in which the picture has been took. I like the way in which the light around the hood is reflected off the mask and not darker because of the way the hood is up, only darker inside the hoodies gaps. The camera is placed in front of the model for this person, might have flash on so they get the whole reflection. The costumes used is the persons own but all black, with the white mask (prop) it helps the colours shine.
The location/settings seems to be in a dark place which could be a range of a photoshoot or being outside at night, each can get maximum out of a picture. The narrative and story line of the picture is to try and hide the identity of the model, which is done well.

In the picture below it shows smoke coming from the persons hood, this completely blocks their identity but also the hood is up which hides any other feature e.g. hair. The lighting is again mostly focused on the parts in which is being hidden (smoke) while the inside of the hoodie is darker and the hand which is covering the face. The camera angle again is straight 90 degree angle from the model, gets to see everything involved with the photo took. The costumes/props used is again the person own clothes mostly back, then the prop used is smoke while the persons hand hide their face.
The location/settings that this took place is possibly an alleyway that has a white background/buildings. Can tell this image took place when there was light, natural light during the day. The narrative an story line is again hidden identity of the model.

In the link below, the photograph shown shows a hoodie being over the top of someone’s head but there is no face within the hood. The main objective is to make the hidden person and this is done well. Its seems like the head of the person is below the hood but its kept its shape. Again the picture is taken straight at a 90 degree angle from the model, this is so everything can be seen. The costumes/props that is used is again the normal models clothes but in this there was no props apart from possibly edits on Photoshop.
The location/settings seems to be in a dark place which could be a range of a photoshoot or being outside at night, each can get maximum out of a picture. The narrative and story line of the picture is to try and hide the identity of the model.

The link below shows a picture of a man that is hidden somewhat because of a hat on top of his head but also some of his face is hidden because of the camera in which he is using. The inspiration taken from this is that within my project I don’t need to have everything hidden, it can also be the context in which hidden can mean. The camera angle of this picture is at an almost 45 degree angle from the person, this allows people to see what is going on from behind the camera but also the facial expression which might be hidden from in front, the hat then adding shade to the guys face.
The location/settings seems to be in a dark place which could be a range of a photoshoot, with use of lighting. The narrative and story line of this picture is that the person has something that is hidden, whether it is shade or something else.
