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.

Recent Sketches

With this image I was exploring beauty. 

Short Video's

I have created some simple short video clips after been given a certain title.

Shape and Form

For shape and form, I decided to film a bowl of pot pourri. I found the different shapes in the bowl very invigorating. The shapes, colours and sizes all form a creative arrangement in the bowl.

Reflection

For reflection I decided to take a different approach. Instead of filming an image from a mirror I decided to mirror drinks by placing the same carton in front to construct the notion of reflection.

Light

For light I used a lighter in a dark room to create a flashing light.

Hands and Feet

Instead of filming hands and feet I took a different approach and filmed the two things associated with them, shoes and gloves. 

Signs

For signs I filmed the sign of the road I grew up in. I did this because the road holds so many happy memories.

Symbolism

I used simple hand gestures for symbolism. It is amazing how a mere thumbs up or thumbs down can denote a feeling.

Poster for Work

I work as a Manger in a Hallmark card shop. We have recently started promoting a gift wrapping service so I decided to design a poster for the shop.

Recent Experience and Dream

I recently experienced winds of up to 180mph when I took part in the thrilling activity of indoor skydiving. Feeling as light as a feather, I was suspended in airflow, experiencing the incomparable stimulation of freefalling. The adventure started with an introductory briefing and training of what to do when you enter the wind tunnel. It made me feel like an army soldger, being briefed and trained to head out onto a mission. It was then time to get suited up with a helmet, earplugs, goggles and an overall flight suit, an outfit ready for the fashion police. It was then time to be lead into the ante-tunnel where I awaited my turn, the butterfly’s flying over time in my stomach as the nerves kicked in. As I saw people enjoying their experience, my name then flashed up and it was my turn to enter the wind tunnel. I walked to the doorway and was lead into the unfamiliar atmosphere. I kept my stomach positioned down, my legs slightly bent but up at the back and my arms in a square shape as I flew around the wind tunnel. I was in the tunnel for two minutes wit the wind blowing my all around, I felt free, drifting around without a care in the world. As my time came to an end I headed towards the door and exited the wind tunnel, I felt wind swept, like I had been a leaf blowing down from a tree and had only just kit the ground.

I recently dreamt that I started to make a cup of tea. I added the tea bag, added two sugars and water in the boiling water. I next added the milk and stirred before removing the teabag. On drinking the tea I discovered it was no longer tea but it was orange juice. Next, I pored a glass of orange juice; on going to drink this I discovered it was tea. The process continued until I was in a room full of glasses of tea and mugs of orange juices.
