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.

Project Two - Photoshoot Two

I thought that this photo shoot went really well and that I achieved what I wanted to achieve but next photo shoot I think I will take more photos and slow my pace down so that I can really think about how each object enters the scene. Also next time I want to take more pictures during the cooking process in the oven. In my next photo shoot I also need to take more photos of the clock to incorporate that into my time lapse.

Project Two - Second Initial Proposal

After many days of trying to figure out how to achieve in this project with a successful idea I have gone back through my notes from class and decided on a concrete topic of the kitchen and baking. I have decided on this because when we make a cake we take for granted the use of an oven and all the ingredients without actually watching what those instruments actually do for us in the long run. I have decided to show this through a stop motion of the process of making a cake and its change in states through heat. I got this idea from Sian Bonnell through her photography of baking and supermarkets.

Stop Motion Research

I got shown this clip in another design class and was really amazed at the choreography and producing from adidas. I think that it is a really good way for adidas to advertise their clothing and get their name out there by viewers being constantly hooked in to the clip.
