Fill out the following Frayer Model on Gregory Crewdson, in DOT
points ONLY. (Using the SLIDES in the PowerPoint)
Answer the next questions after viewing Gregory Crewdson trailer
‘Brief Encounters’ in SENTENCE form.
Using the Structural Frame discuss this quote in reference to how
Gregory Crewdson constructs his images, ‘something always necessarily
goes wrong’, Crewdson.
Who? How?
What? Why?

2. What do Gregory Crewdson’s photographs portray? (HINT: reality or
fiction?)
‘Gregory takes great pains to create these fantastical worlds that are
seemingly real’, discuss as a class.
What is a Large Format Camera?
Large format refers to any imaging format of 4×5 inches
or larger. The cameras used can either be the
Hasselblad, Rollei, Kowa, and Pentax cameras (using
120- and 220-roll film).
The main advantage of large format, film or digital, is higher
resolution. A 4×5 inch image has about 16 times the area, and thus 16×
the total resolution, of a 35 mm frame. In early photography, large
format was all there was, and before enlargers were common. Many
large formats are horizontal cameras designed to make big negatives

3. for contact printing onto press-printing plates.
In general large-format camera use, the scene is composed on the
camera's ground glass, and then a film holder is fitted to the camera
back prior to exposure. A separate Polaroid back using instant film is
used by some photographers, allowing previewing of the composition,
correctness of exposure and depth of field before committing the
image to film to be developed later. Failure to "Polaroid" an exposure
risks discovery later, at the time of film development, that there was
an error in camera setup.
Using the information below (1) annotate the image below and (2) Briefly
discuss the image in relation to the conceptual framework using your
scaffold from last lesson.

Gregory Crewdson
Untitled from the series ‘Beneath the Roses’ 2004
Digital carbon print 144.8 x 223.5 cm .
The photograph seems utterly serendipitous: a boy stands under a bridge, framed by
lush trees, and directs his (and the viewer's) gaze heavenward through backlit fog
toward some unseen attraction. But nothing has been left to chance. The
photographer, Gregory Crewdson, scouted the spot under a Massachusetts railroad
bridge for a month, and a crew of about 40 people spent days setting up the shot.

4. The illumination comes from lights suspended from cranes, and the fog rises from
hidden machines. Crewdson instructed the boy, who had been hanging around the
bridge, to imagine "a dream world where everything is perfect."
Such preparation for a single photographic image may seem a bit much, but this was
a relatively simple Crewdson shoot. For some of the photographs collected in his
new book, Beneath the Roses, he shut down public streets, used rainmaking
machines to produce downpours—even simulated a raging house fire. He uses such
Hollywood-scale production techniques to create what he calls "in-between
moments"—interludes just before or after unspecified but obviously momentous
events. His pictures set the stage for a story, but the viewer has to flesh it out.

Quotes:
"When I'm making my pictures, I never really think about what happens before or
what happens after," says Crewdson, 45.
"It's just about trying to find something elusive and beautiful and mysterious in the
world," Crewdson.
He uses the landscape as a giant photo studio; seeking locations that he says evoke
the "familiar and unfamiliar."
The resulting pictures, typically stitched together from negatives scanned into a
computer,
"His images look like paintings, but they give you an emotional feeling stronger than a
lot of movies you'd walk away from," says Rick Sands (Director of photography)
"If you read a screenplay, it is telling you where to go....You take yourself places in
one of his pictures."
