Major Project TERM II - Final Sketches

In this post I will present the final sketches based on which I will be crating final photographs in the following weeks. Each sketch was prepared with composition in mind, and were coloured in order to be easier to read. Final photographs will be black and white and will be shot on black background.


I. Memories


In this photograph I will be using digital techniques of compositing in order to create an infinite, fractal like, sequence to photographs in photographs in order to visualise the fleeting of memories, with each and every photo one more part of my body is being erased from the photograph.


II. Ageing


This photograph will be created by mixing multiple exposure portrait with experimental method of neural filters in Adobe Photoshop. In order to create such photograph I will either scan a photo from my past, then take a photo of myself now and using neural filters I will age myself, or I will use neural filters to both rejuvenate and age myself. The sketch is in landscape, however I will try to create the final photograph in portrait orientation in order to avoid the mistake from last term of leaving one photograph in different orientation.


III. Thoughts.


This photograph will be created entirely with in-camera techniques. It will be a long exposure portrait visualising the rush of thoughts.


IV. Dreaming


Another photograph created using digital tools, this time I will composite myself as if I was levitating and dreaming. I am unsure if I will include a bed in the photograph, since it might make the whole composition too busy. I want to include the ray of light shining from above, I will probably create it similarly to how I created the fake computer screen light last term with my photograph 'The Essay'.


V. Death


This will be a normal multiple exposure portrait with which I want to create a ghost like effect of a soul leaving my body.


VI. Emotions


As presented in previous post I will visualise many emotions in one photograph using multiple exposure photography. If my photographs will be not precise enough I will fix them in photoshop, however my purpose in this photograph is to create it in camera.

With these sketches I have the general idea of how the images will look and I am ready to shoot and edit these photographs.

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...
