Composition

Aims
To explore how composition can alter the relationship between objects on a page and place importance on certain aspects.



Thinking about tone and colour contrast as well as scale

Deciding on placement to tell the best narrative

Fine tuning scale to fit the frame

Playing with cropping to get appropriate scale 

Final outcome from roughs
Intent
Because it is something I have been struggling with, I wanted to play around with developing a narrative in a single frame, so I decided to create the story of a woman loosing her keys, as it is something everyone has experienced and is easily identifiable.

Evaluation
Although I don't particularly like the aesthetic of my final piece, I found this a very useful exercise in thinking about composition, as I was able to explore how I could draw attention to certain aspects of the piece through their scale and placement. Overall I think my final composition is very successful in creating a narrative of a woman loosing her keys, which is what I really wanted to do in this piece.

Questions
How can I consider composition as a tool for narrative in my future work?
Could I have used other media, such as cut paper for my final outcome?
