#5 Learn a new skill

For this task, I decided i wanted to learn how to bake ! I’ve never really baked before as i’m not a “sweet tooth” kind of gal, but I thought for Christmas I would bake loaf cakes for people. I made eight in total, and four different kinds: 1. Yorkshire barmbrack 2. Carrot cake with […]

#10 Go to an independent art gallery

On 4th November Elliott and I went to the Leeds Gallery to see the Yorkshire Photographers Exhibition. The gallery was very nicely set out, a modern open space with lots of natural light and clean white walls. There was a shop with lots of nice books and magazines to offer and a nice cafe where […]

Editing The Films

Here are some screenshots of the editing of my films, on Final Cut Pro. I learnt more about lighting, shape masks, retiming etc.

Making Film #2 Results

Unfortunately, I was unable to have my films completed by the first deadline. As always, I should have organised more! Here is the film which I submitted for the deadline: The film is very very poor! The logo isn’t right, it doesn’t fit the screen, the editing is rubbish and the music doesn’t go well […]

Making Film #1 Final Results

Here are the edits from the first film I made, the smoking film, inspired from the film I made in the first half of the module with the gas mask. I wanted to make it very simple, very clean, very minimalistic. I wanted their to be minimal colour also. The film would be promoting the […]

Making the Films

I really enjoyed making the films for this project as it wasn’t something I’d done before. There were a lot of ups and downs though! 1. The Smoking Balaclava Film This film was very easy to make, and I filmed it in my house. I bought a piece of a1 white card to use as […]

Flag / Body Paint Photography Results

Here are the results from the flag / body paint shoot. I’m really really dissappointed at how they turned out… My original model who I was using pulled out the same morning that I had booked the studio, so I had to use my housemate instead. However, I wanted to use this particular model as […]

Visual Literacy Timetable

I should write more timetables.

Making the flag

Finished making the flag for Gramm. I used the template which I got printed from the print room, then scalpaled it out then painted with fabric paint. Should have used screen printing but was difficult to organise as they are so busy and I haven’t had an induction. I’m happy with the result though – […]

Moving Body Image Research In Fashion Film

After my tutorial with Stuart, I researched further into fashion films which involved the moving body. I have always been interested in the movement of the body, and I think a short fashion branding film would look beautiful. I found this film which I really liked, an advetisement for Chloe’s spring/summer 2011 collection. http://www.nowness.com/day/2011/4/16/1377/janie-taylor-for-chloe The […]
