Creating an Advert PART V - Final artworks and reflections.




I had a lot of fun with this assignment. I might have overworked myself a bit, but I think that the final artworks were worth the effort. Besides a lot of editing, which had a lot of difficult parts, which were a challenge to overcome, the shooting was also quite hard. Posing while wearing a bed sheet is not the most comfortable position to be in. During the shoot we attracted a lot of people who were wondering what were we doing, and I even managed to convince some of them that our product is real and that this is a Halloween edition Marlboro cigarettes

Things I would improve in my creative process is that  I have to be sure that I always have the background layer, since without it editing is much harder. 
This was also the first time I used Pixlr E, I usually use the Adobe Photoshop for this kind of assignments but I wanted to try Pixlr out. I was surprised by the simplicity of this application. I will definitely use it more in the future.

    I can see, you have put all your final pieces together. I like how the theme is connected. As I mentioned in my comment on your previous post I admire your editing skills. If I could choose one of the four it would be number four, perhaps it shows the atmosphere of ghost, and the lighted cigarette well.

    Good work overall however i do think the concept needs some work - the digital aspects work but perhaps the message is not as clear as it should be

Major Project TERM III - Dream sequences in film Research

Image
In the last part of my research connected to this term's major project I will be looking closely into different dream sequences in cinema. I will analyse how different filmmakers are visualizing them in their own visual style. I will be looking at four films in which we can either see a dream sequence or the majority of the film is a dream. The four films being, ' Spellbound ' (1945) directed by Alfred Hitchcock, ' Inception ' (2010) made by Christopher Nolan, ' Anima ' (2019) created by Paul Thomas Anderson, and finally ' Wild Strawberries ' (1957) directed by Ingmar Bergman. Spellbound (1945) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Spellbound (1945) dream sequence Probably the most recognizable dream sequence in film history, and for good reason. The scenography created for this sequence was done by Salvador Dalí, Spanish surrealist artist whose one of a kind visual style can be easily recognized in every frame of this scene.  While the style does not appeal...

Sequential Photography - research, study, and final artwork

Image
You could say that the origin of sequential photography, as important by itself, is also the origin of cinema. Not the Lumière brothers, but Eadweard Muybridge can be recognized as a pioneer of film. Edweard Muybridge was an English photographer. His fame started when in 1868 Eadweard photographed Yosemite Valley in California, but today he is famous for initiating a new photography trend which is our today's topic. Sequential Photography 1 Sequential imagery is a photographic technique of taking many following pictures in a short period of time. It can be used for a variety of reasons, ranging from showing movement of someone or something to telling a compelling story. An actual origin story of the pictures above is interesting in itself. Eadweard Muybridge wanted to prove his friend that horses during gallop are pulling or their legs at the same time. Because of this trivial bet we now can enjoy films and TV series. Sequential photography 2 First set of my sequential photos I too...

Major Project TERM III - Production and Post-production PART I

Image
As of now I completed three days of shooting, and shot around 30%-35% of the needed footage. It takes more time than I anticipated but I think I will finish everything on time. I cannot really shoot outside during the weekend since there is a lot of people on the streets at night during these days, so I have to go out during the weekdays. It slows the production a bit since now I have most of the interior shots done, so the only things I need to shoot are outside. I also understood quickly that making everything by myself is far more difficult and complicated than I anticipated. There are some shots which I imagined in my mind that are not looking as good when I shoot it. Nevertheless, focusing on the positive I have finished shooting and editing first page of the script. The entire editing process with the actual edited part of the film at the end. You can view it here. This part ranges from the beginning of the script to the first scene on the second page. Shooting around one to thre...
