MEL 0:00 - 24:00 Movie Inspirations

Some of the cinematography and lighting that inspired me in my research of movies, and directors. I want a classical, black and white look. Grey like Melbourne skies, with a soft focus to emphasise fog. 


I've chosen stills from movies by such directors as Isaac Julien, Dziga Vertov and movies such as La Jetee.

They encompass this kind of nostalgia feeling, and foggy in memory that Melbourne feels like sometimes. 

MEL 0:00-24:00 Photo Inspirations

My time: 6:00AM.

Immediately when I think 6am in Melbourne is everything waking up, coming to life as the day begins. Many people wake up, have a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast and go to work around this time in the morning. I want to represent the struggle of waking up in a foggy Melbourne morning in winter, when it's still dark, and cold. Here are some photos that inspired me while researching the project.

Introduction

This blog is for my second year Digital Imaging subject at Monash, Melbourne Australia University. My first assignment is to create a triptych of images that describe Melbourne at 6am. By create I mean, photograph. And then manipulate.
