Joiner

I am going to attempt a joiner and these were the examples by photographers that i liked and inspired me to make mine.

David Hockney

The first photograph inspired me in a way that i noticed how it doesn't have to look realistic. For instance it looks like it has been cut out of a magazine. I'm not sure if that was the case but there you go. The second one is my favourite because the landscape is beautiful. The way in which he has fanned out the image is also good adding to the spacious landscape.

Cate Laskovics

I like this one because the way the different photos are put together creates a shape that exaggerates the perspective in the scene.

Zac Bubnick

I liked this joiner because the head switching gives a humourous element to an otherwise ordinary scene.

Mark Hockney

I like this example because it is simple but yet interesting. The formation of the photos are the reason for the abstract presence of the image.


For my attempt at creating a joiner I will choose the scene of my bedroom because it is a place where I spend some of my time and my project theme is Changing Landscapes (that I might come across on a day to day basis as a teenager). I will take lots of smaller photos of my bedroom. I will then put them into photoshop and try to create the bigger scene using the smaller photos I have taken.I would like it to look something like this.

Here is my finished joiner.

I think that i have done well because the picture actually does join up quite well, although looking back I think I could improve on it by being more careless in the position of the photos so that it has a more interesting/abstract vibe to it like the example of the office. Also if I had taken the pictures in the day time rather than at 8:00pm when it was dark, the light would have shone in threw the window lighting up the scene.

Photomontage

For my first photomontage this was my inspiration.

I will take photographs of a building and copy the image a few times but at different angle so it is a tessellation. I will additionally do the idea of using hands to make a face or a shape. Here is what i came out with.The hands aren't directly in the centre of the picture because I wanted to make it less normal and more interesting. This is my final result.

This photomontage ties in with my project theme which is things that I come across as a teenager as a regular day occurrence. The connection with the theme is that as a typical teenager I have an imagination and thats where the hands come in to it. As for the building they were photos I snapped when I was shopping. I am not particulary happy with the result though so I will have another go at creating a photomontage. However this time I will use these two examples as my inspiration.





As a typical male teenager I like the odd movie now and then. Especially if it has action and violence in it so that is what I am going to create. I will use a completely normal day to day scene I come across and make it action packed and exciting. I will incorporate all of this action in to the photo whilst also using this idea in the photo below that I found on the Internet.



I really like the feet in this picture. It makes you feel more as if you are that person and you are looking out across the hills.

Stop Motion Animation

How Does Stop Motion animation Work?

Stop Motion animation is a technique to make an object appear to move on its own, when in fact the object is moved very slightly in each individually photographed frame. When this is played continuously the object appears to move. It is a bit like a flick book because when the pages are flicked the drawing comes alive. Another example is the clay figures used in films like ‘Wallace and Gromit’. Clay is useful because it is easy to bend and move to the positions needed. This type of stop motion is called ‘clay animation’.

Here are two links to some music videos that use stop motion animation.

Stop Motion Proposal

Here is what I intend to do for my stop motion animation.



This is my story board for my stop motion animation.




and here is my stop motion animation.

I think I have created a slightly humorous animation but on the other hand it is quite serious. I think it reflects gun crime, as most of it is teenagers in gangs. It fits in with changing landscapes because it went from a normal street to a gun crime in a matter of seconds.
