Aesthetic: Initial Ideas
It is important that our documentary follows a specific aesthetic that meets the genre of our documentary. Therefore the image above is a compilation of photographs I took from visiting the cells, and gave them a sepia tone by adjusting the contrast and brightness. I also chose to give bottom left image a black circled edge to make it appear as though the "inmate" is being looked at through a hole in the door.
Considering this is a documentary about police cells and we are discussing eerie stories with corresponding images, I think its important to have a dark aesthetic for the overlaid images. Recently with the rise of documentaries, specifically on Netflix, they seem to overlay these kinds of images and its the likes of 'Making a Murderer' and 'Abducted in Plain Sight' that in terms of viewings have done amazingly well, that follow this kind of aesthetic.
