VIC708

In my initial research in VIC710 I found that the cinematic images were atmospheric. This was due to the limited number of colours in the image. The argument that was made was that the scenes in the films were two toned replicating the contrast created in black and white images but using two colours. Colour also came out as a factor in my initial data collection so it now seemed prudent to investigate this further.  At the time I had attempted to do some colour grading on images but I was unable to create the same effects of cinematic images. I then had came across a video that went into more depth of colour theory showing how the management of the colours in the image (in this case portraits) in order to create a more pleasing image to the eye (Kustra 2020).  This introduced me to a number of concepts of ways of colouring images using harmonies. For example monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split complementary.      From Kustra (2020) This has certainly ...

Presently my survey is still live and at the time or of writing I have 85 respondents. I am still emailing photography clubs to contribute to the survey but I thought that the number of responses that I had so far enabled me to conduct some initial analysis of the data. The majority of the respondents have come from Facebook photography groups and photography clubs. Initial data analysis will be conducted in SPSS looking at the quantitative data to see if any themes emerge.  The first test that I conducted was a Cronbach’s alpha test.  This enables me to look at the internal reliability of objective descriptors of the images to see how closely they are related as a group (UCLA ND). I can then consider that the objective descriptor played a part in affecting the atmospherics of the image.   To do this I select all the images that exhibit a certain objective trait such as monochrome, pictures of people, landscapes etc and run the test.  The results (a high reliabi...

Where is this all going? Up until this point I have not fully decided what the final output of this project would be. In my proposal I had thought would like to create a photo book the number of photos I've taken to represent the topic of atmosphere encompassing all different perspectives that I had researched. But because I had not fully defined it I was leaving myself open to be guided by the outcomes of the project so inflexible in terms of what I create. however, product to launch of my survey I have no real through of what this book would look like. This is when I came across the following quote:  "I don't think books are the wrong format at all. I think they're, They're the best possible format for doing deep thinking, […] the quality of my thought when I'm writing a book […], it's sharper, it's more systematic it's clearer than any other thinking that I do, because I have to wrestle with a big question or topic. I have to build a framework ar...
