I wanted to present my favourite skate films and skate films that I believed really embodied what skateboarding is like and just the culture in itself. Skateboarding and it’s culture has influenced films to explore themes of youth, community and self-expression. Supreme and Thrasher to me, are the best skateboard brands. These brands really showcase talent and bring an identity to the sport. I also included some skate crews as having a community in skateboarding is really precious because you learn, support and grow together. My mood board is saturated in colour with palettes of green and yellow because in the skate industry its very popular to use film camera/VHS when filming skateboarding at local parks. The fonts appear in a handwritten style for the reason that in skate culture, skaters create ‘tags’ which includes their name or nickname, this emphasises the personal and DIY aspects of the culture.
What I did well in : Colour palette and selection of images
What I could improve in: Change the group of words
