Autopsy Tension...

A small edit of a video called "Autopsy" but we was asked to emphasise the feelings and emotions and keep communication and talking to a minimum...

The Meating...

This is my finished edit of my groups one shot film on male toilet stereotypes. I decided to make it seem like the toilet was in a pub or nightclub so i decided to make the track distorted and muffled and much like a toilet when the someone enters the music gets louder.

Figuring Light Exhibition

Rebecca Partridge - Kalider - Oil on canvas

This piece of work is an example of Rebecca Partridges work using colour, it was recently apart of the figuring light exhibition in Nottingham. To me is a great example of colour and shapes as well as how shading and shadows and light can be used to make the picture appear more in depth than it actually is. It uses line of sight to make it seem as if the cubes disappear into the two central white centres. Although there are two main focal points to the photo each area tends to repeat the colours used and this to me is more effective than using a completely different colour set. To me the picture has a very kaleidoscope feel to it it uses near enough the same colour pallet as the old toys used to. Much like the 70s and 80s (when the kaleidoscope was made) it has a very colourful retro style to it.

One Shot Film - Preparation!

Preparation: One shot film "Toilet Humour!"




We have being asked to produce a one shot film as part of our assignments. Basically a film shot with one angle. The subject title was "The Meeting". As a group we decided to create a film demonstrating clichè men's toilet behaviour. We decided to add all the stereotypes we felt as a group used toilets, from the nervous insecure guy all the way up to the guy who just cant help but look at the competition. We decided to completely mute all sound and use only body language to show how people feel in the situation, as a result some of the behaviour has being dramatised to sell the story and feelings. We filmed the shot in the toilets in Waverly building and used a shot which had all 3 urinals in, and kept with the assignment guidelines and only paned once. We used no lighting as we felt the toilet lighting was sufficient for what we required. The finished video will be posted once completed.

Rule of 3rds...

The Rule Of Thirds

The rule of thirds states that an image can be divided into nine equal squares. It is stated that the horizon should sit on the lower third of the video or photo, the main focus of the photo of video sits on the middle third, and usually the sky and or the less important aspects sit on the top third.

The following is a video and photo attempting to show the rule of thirds. As you can see the main detail of the person (his face) lies with in the central third, the horizon is this case is the end of the car park which lies with in the lower third, and the sky and less details are contained within the top third.

Design Task: Successful Practices

Above the Sony PSP one of my favourite designed items, from how it looks and how it feels, to the features it offers. This is a great example of 21st century technology.

Why is it that we want our belongings to do more for us than to function well?

With so many different companies and rivals, the consumer has many choices they can make in regards to which product they choose. As a result the product we choose has to do so many different things and live up to so many different expectations. It’s not just enough for the product to function well. With all the technology now on offer our needs are becoming even harder to satisfy. As a result the companies are constantly increasing the technology that products can now on offer. We now as consumers with so many different accessories and products on offer will always warm to a product which can offer more than what we need, for example that all phones now come with cameras. We could just have kept a phone for its standard and original use but as a nation we require more from are technology and as a result phones now come with cameras.


Why are we willing, as soon as we can afford it, to pay extra for things with appealing forms?

This I feel comes down largely to the influences of society. Society deems all the new gadgets to be a must have item. This is a result of what the media can do to a consumer as well by portraying these items as must have items. Though we don’t necessarily need a top of the range phone, media and society can make it seem like you do with all the celebrities and role models they have endorsing there products the consumer feels they need to be part of this and in most cases is prepared to shell out large amounts of money to become part of it and feel as though they have not being left behind. As a result the more appealing a item is, the more we feel we need to have it.
