A week after my previous grey area shoot, I decided to revisit the area in order to develop certain areas in my photos whilst exploring varying styles I thought were effective.  Once again I would need to create a mind-map as a basis for my ideas and designs, providing an insight into how my ideas and composure should look and present itself:Once this was completed I then went ahead with the actual shoot, keeping in mind the areas of focus I intended to be centered around whilst trying to explore new areas and re-visiting the old ones, these were my outcomes: After the shoot had finished, I went home and developed certain images I believed to be my best out of the entire batch, cutting the selection down to the ten most successful ones. By doing this it would allow me to identify and progress in my analytical response towards the descriptions and methods used in various images. To do this I would have to see how the images selected could relate to the topic of Master Plan ‘Development of Jersey’ , so that a clear message could be sent on my perspective of the direction Jersey is heading. These were the results of the top ten images I thought were the most effective from the shoot:Once done I then moved onto the selection of my five best images from this mood board, when doing this I will proceed to go in-depth and analyze each image to how they could relate to the topic, and the technical and visual aspects which I found to be most effective. These were my choices: I found that within this image, contrasting shades between the light emerging into the tunnel and the dimly lit symmetrical lights produced an aesthetic result. This is done through the composition of how the lights diagonally slant across the screen filling up what otherwise would be blank space, but by doing so it creates an abstract result as the origin of the lights are hidden from the flash of white at the end of the tunnel. I found that the lack of any other colour in the picture really produced quite a stark and bare image, with the main focus being on this sort of hollow and abandoned tunnel, allowing for a sense of otherworldly representation.   I selected this image into my top five because the clear and contrasted definition between the looming dark sky and the old building. I found this to be particularly effective because of how the gradient from the sky descending onto the building can be interpreted as a reflection regarding the design of town, where structurally, there is no real view that the town planners are heading towards, and are instead blindly fumbling into financial growth. The clarity of the clouds above seen as dark and foreboding, highlighted the sky above and the foundations of the building below, and so reduces the blank space whilst making the building itself the focal point of the picture.
What I loved about this image was the two point perspective that the image only allowed you to view it as. Done by inverting the colours into only black and white, I found the it presented a rather abstracts but aesthetically pleasing result, with the various lines and smudges created by the white adding definition whilst making use of the black space. By making it hard to find out what is in the image I intended to force the viewer to inspect it more closely, with upon further inspection the shapes of the dog and the people can be made out, opposed to from a distance. The stone wall within this image, alongside the high saturation to bring out the colour can be interpreted as a reflection of the historic buildings scattered around the island. With the windows representing peeping holds from bunkers, I found that images abstract look represented well with the randomly diverse designs of buildings located in town. This to me is a criticism on how ill planned much of the development has undergone, with historical themed buildings being placed in out of placed areas. However the use of a black faded border really helped break the up repetitive symmetry that the image presented, making use of the darkness to push the brown and grey colours out.Finally this image was chosen because of the high shutter speed used to fade the design of the metallic structure into the white sky above. But doing this a clear definition has been made between the beams of the building and the glass panes between, making an abstract result in the process. This is accompanied by the symmetry of the building which fills the majority of blank space whilst making the simplicity of it pleasing to the eyes. To me this type of building commonly reflected the designs that the majority of buildings had in town, portraying them as glass castle buttresses.

After analyzing each image I decided I had enough judgement to select the best image out of the shoot that I think reflected and portrayed the aims of the shoot the best. To do this I would take into consideration the techniques within the picture and the elements that could be interpreted as representing the future of St Helier. This was my final decision for the shoot:I selected this image as the overall most successful photography from the shoot because of the simplicity but effectiveness that it carried, whilst also putting across the message I wished to use when discussing the future of St Helier. Done through the use of two shades, black and white, it highlighted how the business world could be portrayed to many in Jersey, as from a distance it can be just a mix of random shapes, but upon inspection find whats actually there and how we rely on it for our islands development. The focal point of the picture to me is the dog and the man walking it, accompanied by the line symmetrically defining it, is presents an aesthetically pleasing result, alongside the darkened grey which neutralized the blank space.
