Vibrant Colour Edits

For the colour editing I wanted to ensure all of the images had strong abstract colour effects that were complimentary to the original images themselves. I wanted the colder tones to be on the images with darker shadows and lighter tones on those with stronger highlights.

Final Shortlist of Photos

These are the top 10 images which i have come to the decision that would work best to create a sequence and narrative with. Not only are these some of my strongest images but i have selected them due to the fact they will best help me convey the messages about St Helier which i am passionate about. These messages include the dereliction that is clearly present in St Helier, which makes the town unpleasant. I have also selected some images that demonstrate the construction present to show how this should be occurring on the sites that have been left abandoned.
   

Final Edited Photograph Sequence

The below photographs are the final sequence that I will be using, I feel that the photographs all link into eachother and are edited in a way that strengthens this bond. The sequence starts off with a teddy bear in the shell of a house – this makes the viewer ask questions such as ‘what is the story behind this?’. The next photograph provides a bit more context; it shows that it’s on a building site and is about to be destroyed. The third photograph foreshadows what is to become of the destroyed building as you can see a similar project in the background. The fourth photograph shows the rebuilding of the site. The fifth and sixth photographs show progression throughout the building of the project.

I feel that this sequence of photographs shows the cycle of destruction and rebuilding that St. Helier is going through and shows that this is very much what the future of St. Helier is revolving around.
