A. Pick two images from any of the “constructed reality” photographers presented in class or linked on the assignment sheet. Describe how you could recreate these two images on a “smaller scale”.

B. Describe your plans for your self-proposed final project (if the plan is the same as before, paste it here again and give a bit more detail). During the final critique for Assignment #5, you will discuss/present these ideas to the class.

I could recreate this image with my little figurines. My figurines already look like they are wearing masks like the people in the picture. I could then put them on actual stairs and use an aperture like 1.8 to get a blurred and even smaller feel to the scene.

I would recreate this image by making a small boat out of paper and placing some fabric in it. I would then float it in a puddle so get the reflections and a more naturalistic feel. I could also put some little trees around it make out of branches and leaves.
