Video 1 - Balloons

The first video is one where i have made a simple animation with text on powerpoint, which i then screen recorded on my laptop and projected onto balloons to distort them.

I used the phrase "What's the point?" as the basis of my idea for media class focused on the disconnect between people and the loss of meaning between communication. The balloon projection focused on the confusion and distortion of meaning between communicator and audience.

The phrase chosen was a question i had asked myself multiple times during the process of creating the work. This question was significant because the purpose or meaning of something can be easily misinterpreted and can alter how others react, therefore can easily cause loss of meaning, miscommunication and disconnection.

final

 

 

I could not upload my video, should too big or somthing wrong, however i show on presentation tomorrow, and just write some a small thing to talk about my video

 

 

 

In the video 1, i am using the photoshop to do a timeline, in the first, i am doing normal play and forword, let video keep moving. and i make it 0.3 second per each photo, make it a bit slow and look more clear.

 

 

In the video2, also used photoshop to do a timeline, and this video gonna do like a forword the balloon in motion, but i was used 3 same layers, the first opacity i was put 100% ,second 70% and the third 50%, cover it each photo. it will can see not clear and look more fun in the motion.

 

 

In the video3, same photoshop timeline, it is normal play not forword motion, but different opacity for every each photo, from 100% to 50%, not more clear the motion moment.

 

In the video4, same photoshop timeline, the different is pierce in burket, and it is moving fast, not any slow second, 0.00 second, it feel more stimulate. all 100% opacity.

 

 

In the video 5, same photoshop timeline, but this put 6 layering in the video, every each opacity in the photo, and i put around 60 photo in this video to cover the layering. and 0.03 second in each photo. and this is a forward photo. opacity from 40% to 100%.

 

Developing the final outcomes

I finally managed to get around to using my stereo-camera (a "tiny tim" holga) to produce some unique stereo-gifs. I wanted to push my ideas further by looking into using double exposure methods to create a unique 3D effect. I am happy with the results of the photos that worked well for the 3D effect but I would have loved to get more images with the girls. The film gifs have a totally different aesthetic from the digital shot gifs, but I am really torn between the two as to what I prefer.

experimenting

In the bath images I was exploring different angles of the same subject in an effort to produce an image with intersecting planes and angles. I think this approach produces an unsettling image and helped me explore further the idea of the space within a frame.

I like the intensity of one frame you can achieve on Photoshop by layering similar images or different photos of the same subject on top of one another adjusting the brightness and contrast. Limited colours, simple content and large amount of layering could have the potential to create a lot of depth in a simple image.

The images involving white goods are a combination of Margaret river water waste management and photos of the white goods at the tip. I was playing with the idea of placing domestic objects in the context of an environment they create.

I enjoy the possibilities Photoshop has in creating fantasy spaces, through layering and realistic affects such as shadow. I experimented with shadow in the black and white image.

In these images I was playing around with frames. Using photoshop has made me conscious of frames in trying to understand the process of layering and timelines.

I like the idea of exploring the space within a frame as if it were a 3d. I think some of my confusion in my attempt to get an understanding of Photoshop can be seen in some of these images.

3

In these images I was attempting to limit myself to three, in the form of colour object or layers. I found this helpful in producing balance in my image and in exploring the layering possibilities of photoshop.

Finals

After Printing the final images onto a textured, earthy hand made paper I began processing them in photoshop, fixing layers and adjusting colours as well as adding colour with paint.
