Instruction
Create five or more near-16:9 drawings utilizing compositional elements as a draft.
Purpose
Finalize decisions on compositional elements should be decided. Prepare for final submission.
My Interpretation
I wanted to explore the idea of being chased by having ever-enclosing angles of the person being chased, save the last drawing. It starts with an over-the-shoulder mid-shot in hopes to set the scene and show the stakes for what is about to happen. The next drawing is a canted mid-shot to emphasize the motion in the chase, and the next is in rule of thirds and golden triangle to draw your eye to important parts of the drawing, mainly the rubbing subject (to be added). The fourth drawing is a high and slightly canted angle, again showing motion, but also allowing the subject to look small and running out of room. Next, I contrasted the previous drawing by doing a low-angle frame within a frame shot. Though the low angle makes the subject larger, the clock tower is the overbearing figure in the composition, allowing a unique big-but-still-small look on the subject. The final drawing was originally going to be a close-up but I decided to change it to birds-eye and focus on the Fibonacci spiral to frame the size of the crowd chasing down the subject, creating an overwhelming feeling of “I’ve been caught.”
