Group Project - Final artwork and reflections

Below you can view the final artwork that was created in collaboration between me and Aga Ward.



The collaboration between me and Aga went rather good and without any inconveniences. The level of communication between us was adequate to our needs. By throwing our ideas on the table we quickly came to an agreement in the theme and actual idea of what we will create.
In this project I believe that our main enemy was the time. During final weeks of this term we were both overworked with other project and our personal schedules did not help in that. If we would have more time I would definitely make more photos in more variety of places and also I would have more control over the weather. During the time I was shooting these photos there was not a lot of sun and lighting was very soft and flat, which can be visibly seen in the pictures. I was trying to fix that in Lightroom, but there is only so much that editing can do to the image. After all good lighting is the most important aspect of the photo. 
However, even in the poor weather I managed to capture a photo which I really like. This photo did not end up in the final artwork due to its orientation. It can be viewed in my previous post.
This was also one of my first photoshoots using my new camera, and I was amazed by how much bigger sensor can change the way I am photographing. Because of the high number of megapixels in this full frame sensor I can crop an image without losing almost any quality, which is very helpful in street photography.
In conclusion, I am satisfied with how this project turned out. While the weather and time was not on our side during this project, the final artwork is pretty good. It is especially impressive having in mind that Aga has started learning Illustrator not that long time ago and considering this the final edits come out really fine.

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...
