TOUR POSTER
CAMERA TALKS
For this task, I had to take a selection of 9 photographs that included differentiated angles, for example, closeup angles, high angles, low angles, distance angles etc. I chose Barnaby Taylor to be a model for this shoot. For this shoot we were located at Rousse beach, to add the sun was shining in our favour. Barnaby followed instructions given by myself on how to present his movements and where to stand for the duration of the shoot – by doing so, I personally feel I came out with some photographs of a good standard which coincide with the criteria. I am now able to tell a story, convey a narrative using both MES and camera.
I managed to complete the task with the understanding of ‘Mis En Scene’:
- Facial expressions
- Colour
- Body language
- Proxemics
- Pose
- Costume
Tour Poster Analysis
In this analysis I have deconstructed Drake’s tour poster detect the connotations. The reason for doing this is to find the hidden story behind the tour poster, as we can see Drake has dressed himself with excessive and eccentric jewelry to represent his wealth and success of what he has a achieved working within the music business. Now is have decoded the poster into more detail we can clearly see the link between the amount of jewelry, the picture frame surrounding Drake and the bold, gold texts indicating that what he has achieved has brought him a great deal of affluence. The bold, big and dark texts characterizes a high level of maturity and class. I now know what characteristics I need to include in my work when I come to design prints. I will have to encode narratives using denotations such as fonts, useful colours, and images that link with my theme to attract and show an understanding of my tour poster and what it is about.
