Around the School ~ Cinematography Task

A2 MEDIA - photo slideshow

As a group task we journeyed around the school with the misson to capture any interesting shots or angles we can, while also using characters in our shots, We've taken a variety of pictures and compositions using the school's locations. Some are focused on an object, a scene or a more artist shot, enjoy!!

'A Fallen Friendship' ~ Cinematography with a story

Fallen friendship - free slideshow

For this task we were set to compose a series of images with a house style, suggesting a story with a title and fitting music. What i wanted from my shoot was to style and compose my pictures as if they were separate screenshots, taken at different points in the film, to make the story less static, and reminiscent of a storyboard layout.

Approaching my task, i had the idea of a 'Fallen Friendship', inspired by the music video of 'Used to be' by Beach House in a previous post. I wanted to follow a similar idea of only using two characters in a empty but serene location to create the idea of there isolation and distance from a once close friendship.

I used my local park for the setting, during the day while it was empty. I kept the lighting and colours bright, and showing the colourful surroundings to show this is a happy and comfortable place for the friends, which they have always shared with each other. I also wanted to emphasise the absence of the characters to each other by positioning. By using the same location, but in different areas i can show a immediate distance between the pair, but by also showing one character appearing always on the right and the other on the left, by being together they would be beside each other.

A bit of photography

We were set a quick task to take some interesting shots of objects we could find, although I'm disappointed with the small amount of ideas i had for this task, with more time i would like to do some more in other locations, perhaps a trip to some of my favourite places will inspire some ideas and i can find objects in a natural setting as my subject.

With some i attempted to create a shot to shot a mundane, every day setting, but with an interesting aspect or angle, with others its a close up to create a more artistic shot.















































































For the pictures using the fabric i followed from a sketch i made sometime ago just as a fun doodle, which i found during my photography session, and it inspired the shots :)
