'Mood Board'

Steel Homes 

 For my role of Cinematographer, I took lots of inspiration from the Steel Homes documentary. I liked the use of deep focus in this film and the use of carefully composed shots. I think that they gave the film a really aesthetically pleasing aspect. I wanted our film to look similar in many ways as it was meant to be a poetic documentary focusing on emotions rather than facts.

     

The Bridge

 In the Swedish/Danish TV Drama Series, The Bridge there is a similar approach to the cinematography. A lot of the shots include symmetry and carefully framed shots. Colours in The Bridge are a rare thing, I like this aspect of the cinematography as it sets quite a low-key mood which would fit in with the poetic theme of our film. Also, the titles are minimal, using a simple font with a small type. I would like similar titles to feature in our film.

Other Inspirations

 These shots are all carefully framed and the use of deep focus is there. For the interview parts of our film, I wanted there to be a very blurred background, with the subject in sharp focus.
