Mystery of the West-Rim Survivors (2021)

A world building project that starts by bringing the visual language of two or more genres, I chose Adventure Mystery Sci-fi. Then aim to portray the occupants of the world with objects, transportation, and architecture within an environment. I Chose four of the five shot types to pursue: Atmosphere; Transportation; Overview; Exterior; Interior.
From a Storytelling & Environments class at the Alberta University of the Arts (VSCI.327).

In this image it was important to sell the adventure and mystery genre together. Drawing upon the feeling created by a frontier town and the effect of harsh contrasting shadows.
The lighting takes they eye across some of the objects.

4 of 4 - Interior
In this image it was important to aspects of life left in place after the most recent catastrophe. Hints about these events are left in the objects and overall chaos of the composition. The most important items exist within focal area.
