Introduction - The Formal Elements
As part of this project I am going to explore the formal elements by investingating the following elements; lines, colour, reflections, composition, pattern and texture. The formal elements are very important in photography because you can find all of them everywhere. Whether its outside, indoors, at your local park or town centre they are everywhere. I pan to visit various different locations in order to tae many photos and trying to capture examples of all the formal elements. I will be visitng some local and non local locations. Local being the town centre of Darlington filled with buildings, shops and staues. The non local being places such as Durham and Newcastle. The reason for travelling to all these different locations is so we get enough photos we need but also have a different variety to use in our work. This will make for an excellent set of photos. Throughout this project, I will also be exploring different editing processes using progams such as Photoshop and LIghtroom. I will be using simple and complex techniques to make my photos stand out even more. Enhancing the colour of a photo, cropping around it so you can change the angle of a photo and a number of layering methods.
