Forced perspective final reflection

Describe the process, or workflow, you went through to create this image?

A lot of trial and error, I tried several ideas and none of them worked the way I wanted them to.

What specific photos you found online  inspired you to make this sequence?

At first I saw someone holding onto a cliff but it was really them upside down on the sidewalk crack and I wanted to do something like that.
How did the sketch of your Forced Perspective image differ from the final version?

It was different. My sketch was originally someone on a high ledge and being scared of falling down but that didn’t work well because I couldn’t hold the camera high enough to get the right angle.
How well does the effect of Forced Perspective come across in your final image?

I think it works well because you wouldn’t expect someone to walk horizontal on a wall and I used lockers because you can tell it’s horizontal that way and a normal wall wouldn’t work as well.
Do you think your image tells a good story?

To be honest I don’t know. It’s just someone walking sideways, doesn’t really have a story to it.
What would you do differently if you could do it all again?

Research more ideas and find one and stick with it because I switched up my ideas a lot.

What are you most proud of ?

I’m most proud of how I came up with the idea because Ghena and I were walking back to class after one of my ideas failed and then I said it would be cool if someone walked on the wall sideways and then he said let me try. So he put his feet on the lockers and put his hands down to support them and they weren’t in the frame.
