Following the two frst weeks of the course, which were dedicated to learning the basics of cinematography and photography, we were tasked with creating a mood board around the theme of time.
I used photographs that I had taken in the past as well as some that I took for the purpose of this excercise. I tried to communicate the passage of time by creating a clockwise progression through these photographs. I chose a photograph of graffiti painted on my old high school wall as the starting point and the photograph of professionally drawn graffiti at the same place many years later as the endpoint. In between, I chose photographs of places that held some sort of visual association with my hometown but were located very far away from there.
I thought this was a very useful exercise in getting the class to think about the combination of the technical aspects of our work and the artistic end goal. Although I enjoyed coming up for the concept for mine, I recognize that I overlooked the more technical exercise in photography.
