6. Mood Board 1- Animals
My first mood board is based around animals, the images I
have chosen are all very vibrant and interesting to look at. I
chose to only have colourful images because I want my
images to be very bright and to stand out. I also based my
mood board around more exotic or not as spoken about
animals, such as parrots, wolfs, owls and bearded dragons. I
think that having more unique and interesting looking animals
that aren’t as commonly used in day to day images will help to
make my photos stand out against others. I also tried to only
chose images which were close up, I think that this makes them
look more direct and intimate. For my photographs I would
want to have a very close up images of colourful and unusual
animals, I would then apply a technique that could be
relevant to it, for example I could multimedia or the Harris
shutter effect to help enhance the images.
8. Mood Board 2- Religion
My second mood board is based around religion, I found it
quite difficult to find images that were very biased, so I
collected images that were symbols of the different religions,
such as crosses, a Buddha statue and a Menorah. I also
collected images of people praying and places where people
would go to pray. I found that a lot of these images were
related to nature, featuring blue skies and grassy lands, which I
think is symbolic to every religion. I think that if I were to chose
religion as my theme for my discovery I would have to go out
and really research different places and things to photograph.
I would also want to take the colour out of the images, having
them in black and white. I think that having them in
monochrome would be different to how they would usually be
photographed. I would apply techniques like scanography
and out of focus, to make the images look more unique.
10. Mood Board 3- Locations
The third mood board I created was based around locations, I
think that the images I have chosen are all relatively
colourful, and show many different places. I like these images
because they show how there are so many different places that
people can discover, which relates directly to the theme we have
ben given. I like the idea of doing locations for my photos
because I think it’s a very broad idea, and I could do pretty much
what ever I wanted with it. I like the images I have chosen
because they are a good mix of either large scenery images or
smaller more intimate scenes, such as the African lady in the
dessert. I like the colours used in the images as well, ranging from
both very bright and bold to muted and darker colours. I think if I
were to use this theme for my photos I would use multi media, out
of focus or photomontage. I think photomontage would look
great, because separating the images and then laying them
back on each other would cause them to be disjointed, which
would look good for a location image.
12. Mood Board 4- Food
The next mood board I worked on was based around food, I
though this was a good idea to do because people are
constantly discovering new foods and new recipes, so it relates
directly to the theme we have been given for our final images.
The images I have chosen are all very colourful and draw the
audience in, it features a range of foods, including fast food
burgers, vegetables and fruits. I like these images because they
are all vibrant and bright, and I think that a range of
techniques would work well with this type of image. I like them
because they are all different but they also all have a very
common look to them, they look professional. The type of
techniques I would use would be high speed photography,
Harris shutter and 3D. I think that high speed photography
would probably be the best technique to use because you
could really experiment with the images, the image layout and
then the editing afterwards.
