First Video Experiment

As i am looking into movement for the dancers of my visuals i will attempt to create some videos. I quickly experimented one night with simple video editing. I decided to take multiple photos as i moved my position and later edited them together with my chosen song. As this was a quick experiment the photos are not well planned. I would prefer to have taken them in a set that would suit the visuals i plan more rather than my bedroom. Additionally, they would look better with an actual dancer.
I ended up taking these photos in gaps once i realised i was missing areas, meaning some photo positions are out of place and there are some jumps between photos. However, i liked creating a video using photos as the still movement i felt expressed how the singer is stuck in her dream that is not real whilst "existing" merely in the real world where she isnt truly living. Like she is stuck jumping between the two. It appears like a video that doesn't have enough signal to load therefore is playing an pausing, which reminds me of moments in films where someone in distress attempts to contact help and keep breaking up. I feel this expresses her frustration and how she is trying to reach out to her crush.

To develop this further i would like to take photos of actual dancers to use and experiment with. Furthermore, i would like to include scenery shots of overgrown wildlife or leftover ruins to help set the scene. I would also like to try experimenting with different film techniques on the camera and possibly use an old film camera.

Crete: Drawings

I took a sketchbook with me to Crete, on the plane i doodled this out of boredom. Using coloured pens i created random patterns and lines to draw out the front of a girl. Then using black Biro i added outlines and scribbled her hair and over onto the back of the page. To me this shows a process of turning boredom and negative emotions into creativity and art. The scribbles become less and eventually turn into the colourful patterns before fading completely. I really like the idea conveyed in this drawing, however i dont like the basic cartoon style as i think it shows my lack of drawing skills. The whole piece looks like a doodle and a bit messy. Especially with how the scribbles come out of the hair. I think recreating this with paint would create a better outcome. Instead of patterns it would be a strong mix of bright colours that is faded together like a light cloud. Compared to a mix of black and grey at the back with drips and harsh lines. I could also add some delicate sewing

Artist- Mara Light

Whilst looking at Jenna Andersons art i came across the artist Mara Light. Lights work Focuses on young women in rough, aged appearing paintings. The artists creates beautifully detailed paintings of girls that almost look like porcelain dolls, however the painting itself looks rough and marked up with drips in her work. The contrast of perfection and a sense of neglect to the work conveys the women with the feeling of loss and abandonment. Possibly exposing how their lives are not perfect despite their appearance. Mara Lights work really captures my attention with the texture as well as the emotions conveyed in the work through the women and their body language. They all look hopeless and lost and all have a story of their own. I have pictured myself creating some artwork with a similar style to Lights and now by using Lights work as a preference i have a chance to look at the details in the rough areas to try and recreate as well as add on extra materials for inst
