For week 3, we had focused on Tone and value.

Our groups had mixed but me and one other had continued on our work on 30-40s Noir sugar prohibition. I had used grayscale for my thumbnails to do over the week by taking my old ones and adding new ones from the colours black, grey and white. I also watched Alec’s videos on tone and atmosphere throughout the week.

Here is one thumbnail I had taken from the six and drawn it by hand in my sketchbook. I used the grayscale to darken the font and light the background buildings.

Here is the six thumbnails I had done over the week. I had taken three of my old shots from week 2’s homework and added three new shots. It was easy enough since the world itself is in black and white. For shot 5 I tried to do atmospheric perspective which was very easy to do for this project

I had enjoyed this weeks lesson and doing the project with the others with no difficulties of any kind this week.

In my group, we had listed 100 ideas that we narrowed down to 5 in week 2 of composition and perspective. Our five ideas were:

1. Nature vs Technology
2. 30s- 40s Noir where sugar was illegal
3. Demon sitcom
4. Medieval witch couple
5. Art coming to life (horror themed)

On Monday 27th, we had a group hangout on discord and discussed which idea we would go for and why. So we went through the cons and pros of each idea and finally voted on the 30s – 40s noir where sugar was illegal.

I had used references from the movie ‘Noir’ by using these photographs for my thumbnails and how I would view the world in black, grey and white where sweets were the only colour that stood out. I didn’t put much into each WIP but I just drew what I had imagined.

It was a very fun homework to do with my group. My favourite thumbnails was the detective in the tunnel and the sewer when it came to the lighting and composition. My least favourite was the details in a specific room for frame 3 and 11.
