Prior to the first studio session today I still had a relatively vague understanding of what the On The Frame studio would entail – the single word ‘cinematography’ came to mind. However after brainstorming some of the terms relative to what’s in the frame it’s starting to come together. What particularly interests me are composition, colour, staging, lighting and repetition. Admittedly, I am very much so a story person but I think it will be a welcome (though a somewhat daunting) challenge to delve deeper into more of the aesthetic/design intricacies of ‘the frame’. Colour and semiotics associated with colours always grab my attention in the frame and that is something I can easily warm to. However, I chose lighting as this has always challenged me as it’s a technical component I find hard to grasp – hopefully when I take my fifty frames I’ll get more comfortable with exploring lighting and it’s possibilities.
