Research Blog (updated)


As I did not previously mention in my previous research blog, albeit i have researched the photographers that I previously mentioned in the last post, but i forgot to discuss/mention the fact that they will, or should i say by now,have inspired my work in some form.

Looking back on the projects in which i have been tasked with and completed over the last few months, i can see that parts of their work have inspired part of my work; for example with my high speed images which we all completed as a group a few weeks ago, that Harold Edgerton, the originator of high speed images, his work has inspired mine as i can see a comparison from his work in mine/ours, meaning the inspiration, referring to using the same techniques in which he used to create his images.

Another example of this is when i was processing my stop motion project, i gained my inspiration for my stop motion from watching Koyaanisqatsi. I took inspiration also from 80's film stop motion clips which we looked at and took note from during one lesson about month ago, the inspiration i took from it was the different motions that the actors in the stop motion, how they are jumping and how that particular capturing sequence etc. - if you look at my stop motion narrative sequence, i have applied this to it, albeit my narrative stop motion sequence includes a skateboarder and i took the shots from above so there is going to be jumps involved but i tried to include that aspect in some sort of form.

Project evaluation

Now that i have completed my tasks for my time project, i can now fully reflect on and evaluate the work and progress in which I obtained. Have you reflected on your progress? - After every task in which i had to complete for the project, especially when it comes to my experimental sequences, i have reflected back on them, where i have questioned on how it was successful, what was least successful & how i can improve for next time if i was chose to that particular experimental sequence. I can say from my analysis and reflection on them, i can say that there was more success then less-successful elements, but despite that i know where i can improve on them. What have you learned and how have you improved? - I can say that now that i have completed the project, i have learned quite a few new things, that includes during the process of the project also, such as for example i have learned how to take high speed images by studying and researching Harold Edgerton, and incorpo...

Time Lapse/ sequences of movement research

Image
Time Lapse/ sequences of movement research Time-lapse photography is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (that being the frame rate) is much lower than that used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, the sequence’s time frame allows making the sequence appear that it is, that being time is moving faster, thus lapsing.   An example, an image of a scene may be captured once every second, then is edited to be played back at 30 frame per second, therefore the result is an apparent 30 times speed increase. Time-lapse is the extreme version of the cinematography technique of undercranking. Stop motion animation is a comparable technique of this. Moving the camera during the shot creates some of the most stunning time-lapse images; mounting the camera to a moving car for example can do this, where the purpose of this would to be creating a notion of extreme speed. Short & Long exposure time-lapse - In time-lapse photograph...

stop motion/ experimental sequence of narrative

Stop motion is an animation technique that physically manipulates an object so that it appears to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a fast sequence. Stop motion is often confused with the time lapse technique, where still photographs of  alive surrounding are taken at regular intervals and combined into a continuous film; but also be considered the same in some faction. For my experimental attempt at a sequence of narrative stop motion, i am attempting to recreate/create a skateboarding stop motion in which i found as i was researching the topic of stop motion/narrative sequences, in which i will post the link to below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_K5wt1b03w I have chosen to recreate/create this animation/sequence because i like the style of stop motion, i think that it is very well made, and very entertaining. Before i started th...
