My Inspirational Friend

I thought I would share some of the work that inspires me that has been created by one of my best friends Caroline Saurin.

Below are some examples of her work:

The first picture taken of Joe Paine I find very natural and interesting. Although slightly dark, I personally think it suits this photo the lack of colour I think makes you focus more on the person. Whereas in the second photo of Joe, the colour makes the picture stand out and look wonderful.

Experimenting with Camera settings

I find it very interesting how different camera setting can create a completely different image.
I have been experimenting with depth of field and shutter speed.

Montage

I have been researching the Kuleshov Effect and I am very intrigued by it. I have created some footage exploring this type of editing.

This footage shows a women waiting and then the clip changes to a man walking holding a book. The audience immediately link the two scenes together and think the women is waiting for the man. If the clip of the man was of a bus, the audience would then think the women is waiting for the bus.



With this shot I have explored metric montage. Each shot last for 1 frame. Each clip has been joined together with the same length.

Exploring continuity editing

The video above displays continuity editing where as the video below does not. 




The first type of continuity editing that I am going to look at is graphic continuity. This is where shots that are similar join together. I believe this type of continuity would be very effective.










I have explored rhythmic continuity in the video below.

Another depiction of freedom

I believe visuals of floating bubbles in the air with no foundation to hold them down looks quite striking and aesthetical. It also represents the notion of freedom as they float freely in the air.
