Les Ténèbres de l'Âme

My final film for TMA 285.

Film 7: Director's Statement of Intent and Shotlist

Photos 14

I took this photo because I was mesmerized by the colors.  I love the blue of the sky and the yellows, oranges, and reds of all the lights.  The contrast of color is really nice, and it gives the photo a warm, cozy feeling to me.  I wish this photo looked a little more professional and had better quality, though.  I think that would add a lot to it.

I took this photo because I love the way snow looks on branches.  I also love the affinity of color and tone between the sky and the snow; it almost looks like it is exactly the same.  There is some contrast of tone in this photo between the dark branches and everything else.  It really makes the branches stand out in comparison to the snow and sky.  

I went to see the lights at Temple Square for the first time last week.  I wanted to use a photo from that because of all of the colors.  The red lights are so vivid.  I also like the deep space: the converging lines the lead to the temple.  However, I wish I was more centered to get a better feel for that deep space.  I also wish that the building on the left was not in the photo.  I kind of decided to use this photo after I had taken it, otherwise I would have composed it a little better!
