Planning

Artist/Band:

Name-

Controlled Chaos 

Genre-

Mix between pop rock, alternative rock and a few electropop elements to it.

Im thinking of combining a few sea landscape photos I have with some light trails that I have also taken. I have the idea of making a boarder around my main image and having a patterned boarder, with my light trails as the patterns, and maybe added a few shapes within them. I'm also wanting to use a variety of colours that work well together and that have a range of dark and deeper colours and lighter and brighter colours.

Production:

Find WIX template-

Done, see below for the website homepage.

Plan photoshoots-

I already have quite a few photos that I could use that have been taken previously from my trips to Pentire and I have a few light photos from before that were taken a few christmas' ago from christmas lights and the movement of the camera. As well as a few more recent one that were taken using fairy lights and the movement of the camera.  Although I have photos I may try to get a few more just so I have a bigger range of photos that I can use.

Create social media post template-

News Theory

  Monday 16th May 2022 Industries: Curran and Seaton: Media industries are capitalist and the owners control the media leading to a narrowing of opinions concluding that owners pursue profit. Hesmondhalgh: Production is owned and controlled by a few media conglomerates with companies rely on repetition to minimise risk and cover failure as risk is seen in loss of money.   Livingstone and Lunt: Citizens are social, seek public or social benefits from the media and require regulation to promote public interest and consumers who seek private benefits from the media require regulation to protect them.

Screen shot at least 5 different scenes and explain the choices made and their effects. Divergent Choosing Ceremony Clip:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klGMA7PHWhw Throughout this clip there are many different types of shot types, camera angles, camera movement and different compositions. Many range from pans from the pov of the main character, Beatrice (who later changes her name to Tris), or just a pan of something that is generally quite important for the specific scene.
