RATIONALE
Our task was to
create a photo essay involving the photos falling under the idea of “everyday aesthetics”. We
decided our theme of choice would be doors because on any single day one has a
high chance of entering/exiting a door without given thought about its looks or
individuality. Society does not consider doors to be a thing of art, merely a
dull necessity in our lives. Since doors are so common it also made sense for us
as we could photograph many different ones, and after a short while we further
noticed the variety of doors did not simply include your typical house doors but
car, garage and elevator doors etc. The theme of shadows is also an everyday aesthetic because even more so
than doors, shadows are overlooked and not likely to be noticed by the everyday
person. Most shadows are created by a difference in lighting and it wasn't
until we took our photos that we noticed how common shadows were.
Our photos were taking using the cameras on our mobile devices. All photos were taking in landscape to ensure we got photos with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and on the phones highest quality mode. When using iPhoto we mainly focused on fixing up the lighting and cropping of the image to make the door base parallel to base of the image. Drastic editing we believed would take away the idea of everyday aesthetics as the image would become unrealistic. Uploading the 24 images to iMovie we knew the time per photo would be small so we chose only to have transitions to and from title pages to allow more time to be spent on the pictures themselves. We picked music that was simple beat so it was concurrent with the idea of everyday aesthetics as it is just a plain repetitive beat.
