Eczema post 2- Images

This is more of a visual post to help show areas and forms that Eczema can come in. If you don't have the best stomach for this type of stuff I will WARN you that it will show mild and severe cases which can be upsetting.






































































If you have made it through these photos then you will see how severe it can get. This is not even half of the different symptoms out there, some can be even worse and as you will see from some of these photos it can be extremely painful.  To provide these photos I came across some that even I could not bare to look at for too long never mind post. So to have that reaction myself makes me what to tell this story even more because even though my case is no where near as severe as others, we all suffer from it and it's a story that should be told.




Eczema post 1

I know on my last post I said I was producing a documentary based on a guitar and I was producing a piece similar to the Pas De Deux. However due to unforeseen complications involving certain people I have been given the opportunity and have decided to go and create a different take on the subject of "hands" on my own.

So to start from the beginning my new and improved idea is the issue of Eczema. I will explore the effects it can have on a persons lifestyle and the lengths someone has had to go to keep it barely and under control.

This is a topic i feel strongly about as its closer to home, its something I've personally had to deal with so to have a knowledge about something like this I feel it would be good to try and answer some questions others may or may not have. However this will not just be about me, I will be introducing different members within my family, of different age, and will be telling their story of how they deal with this.

Some may think that it isn't a serious topic to touch upon but what some may not realize is that yes most people may have this but in some cases, such as mine, it can be very serious and can effect different experiences within life.

Below our some sites which example Eczema in deeper depth:

Some of the sites may seem repetitive but some given a bit more information about all the different things that can set it off.

"Hands" Documentary

A current piece of footage I've been working on is a documentary. The theme to this is "hands" and so my friend and I have come up with the idea of how to express feelings and emotions through music.

The instrument we have decided to use is the guitar and have decided to use lighting and the editing to create the mood along with the music.


A piece of work we are influenced by is the 1968 Ballet, Pas De Deux by Morman McLaren, as we admired how the piece relays on the visual effects to capture the audience.

We hope to create the same effects this piece holds and insert it into our own.
