Exhibition

We are havehad to think about how we want our work to look for the exhibition. So have chosen pictures which i think not only show what my work is about but work together as well. I wanted a nice balance between black and white images and the green toned ones. Also i wanted some blurred and some of the ones that look like film stills. I felt it would work best having a variety of sizes also. Here is a rough draft of what i would like my wall to look like.


I thought it would look good if it resembled my research pages with the graph paper background and way the photos are set out. I also want to incorporate some of my best related research pages into the wall so viewers can see the path of development.

Final Film

My final short film which includes clips from both Weston-super-mare and Wales. I tried to show aspects of both the water, wind and sand (eroded rock and shells) I wanted to show a gentle side to nature and also the wild side. I used music from both Chopin and Beethoven. The change of music matches well to the atmosphere of the film. Although short i believe it is both moving and powerful. I feel the lighting worked well and the old effect i was after looks genuine. Unfortunately i cant seem to upload the final film at the moment but will try again soon.

Beach photos

As well as doing the filming at Aberystwyth i took some photosalong the way. I found they worked best in antique colours and a slight darkening around the edges. Model: Marieanne Helliwell

Mental shoot

With this shoot i did some images with the blurry effect found in my research for an unsettling feel. Some look like film stills from old horror movies and i have tested a couple distorting like those of the funhouse mirrors also in my research.

nude shoot

Ive been editing my photos, with influence from the victorian nudes and the more modern photographers. I tested different finishes, but in the end the sepia turned out the most effective. Here are some of the final images. I changed the jewellery throughout the shoot and used the chair for the first few poses. I did some full body shots and some close ups like in my research. Where you cant really tell what part ofthe body you are looking at. They make you consider the image more fully.

Poses

I have tested out a few poses for my next shoot. I made a spiral template which i put infron of the model so the poses fitted and were "attractive". I took inspiration from some of the nude images i have been researching and thought of some of my own.

Props

Aswell as jewellery i have been thinking about what other props i need for my nude shoot. I noticed that the models of the past were often kying down or on a chair. Here are some examples of the types of chairs.

Music

I have been sorting out my music for my film. For this i have chosen 3 classical tunes, that i know contain the fibonacci sequence. These are Mozart's Sonata 1, Chopin's Fantasy Impromtu and Beethoven's Choral Fantasy.I also found some music called the Fibonacci Sequence.

For a different more edgy feel, that will create a sense of eeriness for my film, i have played each piece backwards. I may use just one piece of music or have parts from each. The most complicated and time-consuming part is making it fit to the film.

Unfortunatly i could not upload these so you will have to wait to see the final piece :)
