This image is helping me understand and implement some of these shots into my own scene. George also told us about the rule of thirds and how images look more appealing then the main focus of the picture of image is not in the centre, but following the rule of thirds.

The bottom images is more appealing than the top. The sun is in the centre at the top and the sun is in the bottom third in the bottom image.

Notting Hill Carnival

This is a mood board I made for the Notting Hill carnival short story. I really liked the Afrofuturist look and gathered pictures that represented this. The colour purple has futurist connotations and I liked the idea of the having a yellow in there to be the opposite of the colour wheel.

Can short story

For the Can Short Story, I wanted to included warm colours, lots of blues, green and pink hues that complimented nature. I wanted lots of shots of of grass and nature with litter, to imply that the human impact on earth is critical.

Bird short story

This was my favourite story board to create. I wanted to mimic really colours on birds I found AI generated images from an artist who got that abstract look. I really like the idea of having birds and flowers coming together by having an abstract creature.

I really like all the ideas, however, the one with the most defined story line and the one I can more easily pull off is the Can Short Story. I like the idea of being able to do lots of scenery shots and making the scenes look beautiful yet spoiled by humans. I want to play around with the lighting and the music to really drive the narrative
