After developing the polaroids and scanning them to the computer I decided to manipulate these by attempting to burn them. This would allow me to compare the difference between a 'normal' polaroid and a burnt polaroid.
The polaroid shown above shows the effects from the polaroid being burnt, this has resulted in the plastic melting due to the heat. This has created layer over the photograph, blurring the original area due to the plastic melting from the heat. This has created a random shape within the photograph almost creating an abstract like appearance. The photograph has also changed as the paper has also began to shape due to the heat impacting the paper in which the polaroid is developed on.
This polaroid has also been burnt which has impacted the overall photograph due to the plastic covering the photograph melting. This photograph has been impacted a lot more compared to the previous photograph shown within this post. This is due to the photograph being burnt longer in different areas within the photograph. The random shape/shapes created from the plastic melting give a warped like appearance as well as showing some signs of an abstract appearance. The melted parts of the photograph have caused the photograph to become blurred which has been outlined by the contour of the areas. It almost gives the impression that the camera was moved when the photograph was taken.
This photograph was printed on photographic paper, similar to the polaroids, this has also been burnt. This photograph has changed significantly as the photograph has become extremely blurred and out of focus after attempting to burn this. The photograph also shows the burnt makes in different places, this shows how long the areas have been exposed to the heat when being burnt, the darker areas are clearer the areas which have been exposed to the heat longer. I think the results of this is interesting, especially when you compare this to the polaroids as this shows how different paper can impact the outcome.
