HNC Project - film

I started by thinking about the idea of banning words in places where we have freedom of expression and how that works, I played around with a few ideas on how to do this and decided to try and use film where words are being taken out the mouth and put back in.

I decided to try this in black and white because i felt it had a better feel to it. 



I took a bunch of shots of Kevin with different banned words, i used the X for symbolism, i think its adds a little something especially in black and white.  I tried to think about how i used symbolism in my collages using this theme:



I deiced to use this as a base line and experiment around it. I wanted to try adding sound to this one and i decided to take free audio of a speech about social placement and splice it up using the bits i liked the best. I also added a free sound clip of a beat to go along with it.

i played around with over lays and different effects over the top of a running film.



I added some filler to see how it would look of footage i took of myself from a below angel. I think it works better with a clip of the words, then something else then back to words.



I had to remember to cut the audio from the original footage so it would not overlap. 







I really like how this is starting to form, i love the sound i made i wanted to make it longer and add some other thought out clips. Keep using this as a base to experiment with.

I wanted to add something to do with distortion and seeing or vision so i started thinking back to my collages and my photography and i remembered photos made of wine glasses distorting the paintings of dots i had done.





























I decided to film my face through water to see if i could use the symbolism of distortion this way.

I then used the same audio to make a new film in between the words. 



I also took the shot of Kevin with the words in closer.





I ended up with this...

I then added the audio from the older footage I feel this works a lot better, i am pretty happy with this but i feel this is a theme running through most of my units - this year feels like one big unit to me.


This took so long to edit. I will present this to the class and talk about the unit.

Alice Potter

. Digital Media . Illustration . Surface Pattern . Alice Potter   I decided to start my research with Alice Potter. I was interested in Alice Potter's work because it is very different to what i usually look at.  Potter is a London based freelance illustrator and children's wear print designer. Design is something i am not sure i have an eye for, i do appreciate it but i don't tend to find myself attracted to it, or give it as much thought as i probably should. http://alicepotter.co.uk https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/AlicePotter I love the colours in this one above, i like how simple it is, but it still translates as an apple. I like the dot print i think it adds a kind of sweetness to the design as well as add something to the flatness of it. I really like these, i love how happy they look because of the use of colour.  Potter draws her work out in her sketch book and then moves onto illustrator where she uses the pen ...

Typography Investagation.

We have started a new unit, typeface and letterforms. I found this very daunting, because, it is a completely new, huge world to me that i have never explored... We watched a film about Helvetica and it was very interesting but like i said i feel really overwhelmed. I wanted to know what happened before more in depth and really look into it as best i could. I decided to calm my nerves by looking into the history of type face, and to, i guess start at the beginning... for myself. while researching i found out that a lot of people agree that the creator of typography was a German man named Johannes Gutenberg. But before he came along books needed to be scribed, by hand. Obviously this was very time consuming, So Guttenberg created Blackletter. I think this was modeled after the scribe's. It has thick vertical lines, and thin horizontal connectors. This was hard for printing, as it looked very dense and squished together. So then came Roman Type, the first roman type was cr...

Photography : Rommert Boonstra & Laurie Simmons

For photography i wanted to look at artists who use models or staged worlds for their photography because its not something i looked into previous years. From moodel i came across Rommert Boonstra. He is a photographer, poet and theater director. He also taught photography at several art academies.He is well known for his Staged photography and he has Four books are published about his photo works. He uses everyday objects to create these worlds... I am pretty taken aback with these photographs and i am surprised there is not a lot about these images online. The only words i can find to describe them is other worldly. They look like completely different words, like something you would find in science fiction comic. They are just amazing. What i liked about these is the way he has used light and shadows to create the illusion of above and below, in the first 2. He has also used composition and perspective to make you feel like you are inside the world its self. I like...
