Final Proposal - Project Three - Light

For this project I am interested in experimenting with light drawing to put an object into a scene that isn't ever there in the first place.

My concept is to draw nature into bedrooms to create an interesting aesthetic and image. I have chosen this concept because when we think about nature, we generally think of nature being in the backyard, garden or at a park etc and not inside the home.

Fourth Shoot - Project Three - Light

For my last shoot, I thought that it went really well. In this shoot I knew exactly what I wanted to draw and got straight to the point.

Third Shoot - Project Three - Light

I thought that this shoot was one of the best because I hand the hang of the light drawings and knew what I wanted to draw. I also still find the experience extremely fun.

Second Shoot - Project Three - Light

I found that this shoot went really well and turned out to be really productive. I found it easier to do the light drawings as I got the hang of how big and how fast I needed to draw the images.

First Shoot - Project Three - Light

I thought that this shoot went really well for my first attempt at light drawing. At first I wasn't pointing the light at the camera but soon figured out that I had to. I found doing the light drawings really fun but also kinda hard in the fact that you really need two people so that your images come out successful. 

Research - Nature Light Drawing

Once I figured out what my concept was I decided to research nature light drawing so I could get an idea of what nature could be easiest or have the best effect for my project. I found these images really helpful towards my own light drawing ideas.

Project Three - Initial Proposal

For this project I have come up with a proposal that uses both light and history. For this project I am interested in experimenting with light drawing to put an object into the scene that isn't ever there. My concept is to draw nature into rooms in a house because we don't generally think about nature being inside the home. we tend to think that it is a garden, or a park etc.

Long Exposures

I have chosen to research these images because one of my initial ideas for project three was to take photos of street to expose the lights more to make the scene look similar to the scenes in the first Harry Potter movie at  the begginning.

I have chosen to research this image by Sato too because I would like to also give light drawing a shot for this project as it is something completely new and could be quite fun.

A fork and a plate are altered, from two simple and unobserved items of everyday life into a new certainty; a puzzling familiarity.

Final Stop Motion

Final Proposal

For this project I have decided to focus on the topic of the kitchen and gender roles of baking.
I have decided on this topic because these days it is more of a luxury to have home baking rather than an every week occurrence like when you were a kid because it has become simply too convenient in society today to buy a simple add your own liquids cake mix or professionally made cakes off he shelf of a supermarket or bakery. I have decided to show this process of baking a cake through a stop motion to show how easy and possible baking can be along with the change of states that all the ingredients go through in the cooking process.

Photoshoot Four - Contact Sheet

Photoshoot Three - Stop Motion

I found that this stop motion came out better because I added more ingredients into the plan and showed the baking and placing of the cake mix into the oven. I also experimented with the  time that it takes to make the cake using a clock to show the time ticking away.

Project Two - Photoshoot Three

I found that this photoshoot went alot better as I knew how I wanted to do things and which bits I needed to work on from the last photoshoot. I am still having problems with the light but I think I will just have to use photoshop to fix the darker pictures for my stop motion.

Second Photoshoot - First Stop Motion

I have made this stop motion from my second photoshoot using Windows Movie Maker and thought that it looks quite good for my first attempt at a stop motion for 144. From this stop motion I can see where the areas are that I need to work on to make better and more detailed. 

Research - Sian Bonnell

This image by Sian Bonnell from her 'Putting Hills in Holland' series is interesting because of the position that she has put each object in and the way that each object is pretty much a larger and slightly different design as they tower are catches the eye. I find this image really interesting an bizzare as the background is grass.

This image is from Bonnell's series 'They Came'. I find this image is a really interesting image because of the colours and composition. I like the way that she has made the darker jelly the focus point but has the other closer, in less focus and a lighter blue shade. Again I like the different background of the grass.
