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.

When i was a kid, i got asked to produce a drawing that expressed Autumn, the winner got the work in a calendar for the school. I worked and i worked on this drawing, expressing my feelings of Autumn. I won. I told my Mum and Dad that they could buy the calendar with my work in it, i was so proud. I showed my parents my work, and although they were happy for me told me they that although it was good, my sister's new drawing of a bird was better... more realistic. Through out all of my childhood and teenage years, i was told i was not as good as my sister and to this day i still do. I would constantly compare my work to hers, and eventually i gave up art completely. I had a pang of jealousy when i would see other peoples art work, and suppress the jealous feeling towards my sister and the anger i felt towards my parents. I felt even more guilt and as i grew i built up this wall around myself, i put on a mask of a confident girl, who did not feel jealousy, sadness or frustrat...

Dada Collage part 2

I released i was trying to copy Hannah Hoch's    Das Schone Madchen/ beautiful girl collage instead of understanding it so i decided to research the artists and this peace of work i found out this is a photomontage made in the 1920's that deals with gender issues amidst the dawning of Germany’s New Woman. the hair and womans body is looking at beauty trends and expectations in women of that time and the Car parts are contrasting with the way society looks at women, even today. I started noting similarities in what i felt Hoch was trying to say was the modern women in the 20's and what is a modern woman today. trying to keep similar colours and tone, i chose a modern day hair style as well as a measuring tape and lipstick to suggest modern day female beauty standards, i chose the black and white woman at the top for minimalism but put the iconic 2015 brows over the top, i kept the BMW badge but c hanged it to the 2015 one as i felt their is still an ...

View point Task 1.

Conduct market research into the range of publications available for the target age group . Free and for sale. Contemporary and historical sources - visual and non - visual.  I wanted to start my research with a range of publications. At this point i am unsure where i am going / what i want to do so i thought i would just start with exploring a wide range of publications as the brief says to try and find my interest. I started with a well known magazine that 18 - 30 year olds would look at, i thought about interests and started with fashion.  Vogue  I liked this cover above because it is very minimal, and i think that is more stylish and clean looking. I like the black and white look and the muted tones in it, like the title 'Vogue' i think works really well with the black and white. The magazine usually has more type in it.... I thought this was a good example of what an issue of vogue usually looks like, it is still quite minimal and loo...
