Rastman Final Image: 2

This image depicts the second stage of my story, where the Doll feels for Rastaman and decides to present him with a flyer advertising the Path to Enlightenment. It is a over the shoulder view however, some of my peers did not at first understand this concept and mistook his head for something else. I found it quite hard to create a high level of drama in this scene as the props are was working with were quite mundane. Although, by creating blurred areas I was able to highlight the main message of the image, which in turn uplifted the drama, I feel.

Time Line (Final idea)

Final composition: I felt this was the most visually pleasing image out of all of them. However, it would have been more affective if I used a different surface - other than carpet - such as, a larger sheet of white paper. This would direct the viewers attention more to the pieces rather than their surroundings. Overall, I wasn't too happy with the outcome of my final timeline. I believe the concept of it was good, but it didn't translate as well visually. Perhaps this is because of the way I chose to present it (in individual comic frames).

Time Line: Composition Development

Stair Composition 3: This is the same as stair composition 2, however, I have angled the pieces so that they are more visible. By this point I had decided that the stairs idea was only turning out weak images so I decided to then try out a simple series of images, placed together like a comic.

Time Line: Composition development

Stair Composition 2: This is the reverse of the first stair composition. It did not work at all due to the angle of the shot, which block the view of most of the pieces.  

Time Line: Composition development

Stair composition 1: I do not like this composition as you cant see each emotion clearly. The idea was that the extremity of the emotion would be directly related to how high it sat on the stair case. However, looking at the image I can see that it is visually weak.
