The Camera Talks

Moodboard

Made with Padlet

For this task, we were tasked with creating a moodboard of our favourite images from our photoshoots, and for each image, we included 3 hashtags; one for the camera term, one for the denotation, and one for the connotation. The denotation of an image is its literal, clear meaning, and the connotation of an image is what is implied. I feel that I was successful in accurately labeling the photographs I took.

I think that I achieved the aims of taking high quality images that can convey meaning through camera work. My favourite image was the one of my school bag on a wall, as I felt it effectively connotes the idea of being left behind. The fact that the bag doesn’t fill a large portion of the screen could imply its unimportance, and the smiley face on show on the bag contrasts effectively with the overall depressing tone of the image, creating almost a sense of irony.
