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 ...

Art & Design Portfolio - Sam Cornwell (Digital)

I decided to start my research on paper based and digital portfolios by first looking at a digital portfolio. One artist who came into the college to do a talk was a photographer called Sam Cornwell, he took us through his digital portfolio. I wanted to think about why his portfolio was digital and not paper based. One of the biggest advantages of a digital portfolio is the accessibility of it. It is easy to send out to employers or people wishing to view it. It is digital so it can easily be send to someone via email or put on a USB and accessed that way. Another reason is unlike a paper based portfolio there is more than one, it is easy to dispatch without spending money on paper to print. It is also instant, you might have to wait a few days for a paper port folio to be sent by mail or spend money on travel to bring it to the person wishing to view it. With a digital portfolio one click and it is sent! I went onto Sam Cornwell's page and found out his portfolio is on his web...

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...
