The Camera Talks
Here is a mood board that I created of my final 9 images. I used hashtags to show:
- The camera technique
- The denotation
- The connotation
For example the photograph in the centre uses a shallow depth of field to draw focus to the hand and confusion. The model reaching through the bars and darker lighting suggest that she is trapped. Also the model is not smiling showing her unhappiness and fear.
My favourite photo would be the one of the girl looking through the window. This is because the audience does not know what she is looking at or waiting for. This adds a feeling of suspense and fear, and makes the viewer inquisitive as to what she is looking at. I also like the fear on her face and the focus on the blinds, as you have to look at the image carefully to understand whats going on.
I think that I achieved my aim as the narrative of the photographs narrative can be understood by the Mise-En-Scene, camera techniques and angles. I also think that this will help me with my future work, as I can use and demonstrate the camera techniques I have used, and the narrative that I am also trying to convey. It also helped me to understand what makes a good photo, and which ones will stand out the most.
