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.
