Creating a Website in WIX PART I - homepage

 In today's lesson we have started creating our own website using WIX.

1. I started creating my page by choosing the right for my study path format. I have chosen the 'Wedding Photography' theme, because the layout of the page is very clean and minimalistic.


2. After choosing the website format I have changed the background photo for one of my own. I do not have all of my photos with me in Leicester right now. Most of them are on hard drives in my hometown, but in the future days I will try to get them via cloud. I have chosen this photo because I have shot it right in the beginning my adventure with long exposure photography, and after all this time it is still one of my favourite photos I have ever taken. I have used the 'Change Strip Background' option and then I have clicked on 'Image' I have changed the orientation of the photo to better fit the layout of the page.





3. Then I started editing the header. I started with designing the layout of my name and my specialisation. I have changed the font for the one called 'Anton'. I like the simplicity of this font and it correlates with the minimalistic style this page is in. 



4. I have changed the orientation of this text and moved it to header and grouped.


5. Then I started editing the subpage menu in the header. I changed the font to 'Anton' and changed the colour of 'Hover' and 'Clicked' option to neon blue.


6. I dropped the opacity of the header to 40% and changed the 'Header Scroll Settings' to 'disappear'.




7. Lastly I have deleted the unnecessary subpages.


I will be updating this website in the following weeks.

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...
