In this task we were given a theme to explore by taking pictures, this was a test of our composition skills and how well we could portray a theme through composition and camera techniques. The theme I had was positive vs. negative so I had to look at either of them or combine there meanings. I looked into mise en scene and props that I had that gave of positive and negative connotations to then place together to contrast, e.g. the top right. I took the first shot of the chairs as the colours had positive and negative connotations and tried to get the chairs central to give an even amount of space around the props. I feel the other two photos were bad as there was too much background space on the top left but in the bottom one it could have been taken with a larger aperture to focus in on the subject and exclude some distracting props. I then went out to redo the shot of the chairs without all the background objects, I went for a plain background and made sure the space either side of the chairs was even, I feel this was a far better composition and that it made me think about the background more and how distracting it can be. I can now take this knowledge into filming and shooting as I will be more likely to spot distracting objects in a photo.
