When thinking about more ways in which I could edit my images, I started to play around with just cutting them up in ways that I thought could be interesting. I tried cutting out the models' face, cutting up the image and slicing it vertically and then rearranging the order to distort the image.
After trying out the weaving technique, I started to think about the strips themselves and whether the technique would work just by rearranging the strips to create a slightly different image. I then tried it slightly differently by just cutting out the face. I was actually a fan of these techniques, however, I don't think they are quite refined enough to be the final technique.
I then looked at cutting out the face of a slightly different image and layering it on top of another image. I then felt as though the scrap from the cut out image was also quite interesting in itself. I felt as though this was quite a good insight to both sides of the editing process. I chose not to use this as my final technique because I didn't think that I had enough images that would work for this specific editing style.
I then just tried to randomly cut up the image in ways that I thought would look effective. I wanted this style to look quite raw, with tape lain on top of the image, to try and make it look a little less considered and clean. I didn't mind this technique, but I didn't think that it was quite original and exciting enough to be the final resolution of this project.
I finally just played about a bit with different styles. I didn't really have a plan with these images, I just kind of cut and scratched freely. These images were just made out of scraps, and while I don't think they're particularly successful, I think it's still interesting to see my thought process. I actually quite liked the scratching technique as it really embraced the destructive part of the project in the most raw sense, however, I think it was too one-dimensional and there was only so far I could take it if I made it my project. I think I would only be able to get two to three final images out of it - which isn't enough.
