PHOTO
HARMONY
The Category
The Photo
Harmony category is designed
to enable applicants to demonstrate
their skills
in the production and visual
progression of images linked
to sound. No words or story
with a specific beginning, middle
and ending are required. The
emphasis is on matching
the images with appropriate
transitions and harmonising
them with the sound.
The Standard
There should
be evidence in the photography
of sound artistic and technical
skills. The
selection, quality and sympathetic
progression of the images is
the prime factor being
assessed; the appropriateness
and recording quality of the
soundtrack will also be taken
into account.
Evidence of a developing personal
style is desirable.
Techniques
The purpose
of this category is to display
a set of images which harmonise
with each
other and with the sound used.
The sequence should be constructed
so that images
progress harmoniously in terms
of colour or tone and graphic
design. The category is not
designed to display images which
may be excellent when considered
individually but
which fail to harmonise with
each other and with the sound
chosen. It is the norm that
the sound and the images start
and finish together. Where music
is used, it is
recommended that the original
ending of the music is preserved
rather than an arbitrary
fade-out.
As with all techniques, digital
manipulation can easily be overdone
and result in an
effect counter-productive to
the author’s intentions.
Such modifications should be
well
matched to the overall concept
being communicated by the images.
