Evaluation
Research - For my research i looked at an urban artist called Banksy. Banksy is a England-based graffiti artist. Banksy is known for his street art with graffiti done in a distinctive stencilling technique.I started to look at his work which was quite interstering as his work shows political and social commentary. His work is shown on street walls as thats where he does his work. As i looked through his images on his website i found them different to other artists as his work was done on street walls which was different. This then helped me by giving me some idea of what i coloud do for my project.
Inital Ideas - My first idea was to do something with street art, this is because i found the my artists work interstering which made me think that i should do something with graffti and and any type of image on street walls. i then started to go out and look at places but when i got to a graffti wall my idea changed. as it was night and the graffti writing was not clear i thought i should do something with drawing with light. this changed my idea of what i should do.
Techniques - I have already used photoshop before but i still learnt a lot in this project. i found out how to use nore of the tools in photoshop which i had not used before. i also found using photoshop helpful in my project as it made me create interstering and different edits which i had not done before. most of my edits that i have done were all successful beacuse they all worked out well and the drawing with light images did work out.
Idea Development - As i had changed my idea to draw with light, i then started to work with my camera to get some drawing with light images. using a slow shuuter speed on the camera such as 10 seconds or even bulb mode i used the torch which i then moved around and keeping the shutter open the torch light would create a light trail, when the shutter closed the the image showed a light trail. i then started to expriement with the torch creating shapes, letters and even moving the torch to see what comes out. i then had another idea that i should also do something with film. in the class we looked at recording some different things outside. using my own camera i recoreded a some cars on a dual carrigeway i then put on imoive and then cahnged the speed of the film to faster. this made a time lapse which made me like this idea as well as drawing with light. i then decided that i was going to do both ideas.
Samples - i first started by using some builidng images of the interent ot help me. i started of my putting the two images, one of the internet building image and the other one of my drawing with light. i then used a blend mode of screen to make the light image merge into the building. i then used transform to place the light image into building. this worked out well so i then did some more edits. once i had done this i new that i had to do this in my final outcome. i then recoreded some different samples such as cars, the sky, different times of the day and night. once i had done this i then put this on imoive and created a time lapse, this worked out good which meant that i was going to a time lapse in my final outcome as well.
Desgin Development - For this i had to get my own images of building in the night. therefore i went out a night and took images of streets and buildings. i also did some more of drawing with light in my bedroom using a tripod and a torch. i now had my images ready to be edited. as i was also doing a time lapse i recoreded on a brdige looking down at cars. i also recoreded my brothers car which helped as i was able to use something of my own. as i was going to to a day and a night short film i already had some day footage from before.
Final Outcome - as i had my images ready, i opened them up in photoshop and using the same technique i blended in the light image with the buildings. this worked so i did some another three which you can look in my final outcomes. i then used imovie to edit the recordings i had done. i first started in the day footage, i used got all the footage that i needed which i then made faster. this then was then given a sound track on the background to make the short film look intersting. i then did the same with my night footage. all of my photoshop edits and my two short films worked out well which made my happy as i sticked to the idea i started of with.
