Week 10: Time And The Image

For my image I chose to take multiple images and layer them on top of each other to convey that time had passed. I went down to the dock in Southampton and waited till there was a boat passing and set my camera up and took 8 images as the boat passed through the water. I chose 6 images to use, I opened them into photoshop and started to edit them together. I was pleased however I didn't think that it showed how time had passed so I chose to change the opacity of the images so they were fading away. I also decided to crop my image down so you could see the boat in more detail and I found that the old pier featured in the imaged worked as a sort of timeline of the boats journey back to the dock.

Week 9: Time And The Image

In this session we were looking at narrative and how it may show time to help/inspire us for our own time and image photograph. To begin with we watched the directors cut of the ending sequence of Donnie Darko, the sequence itself goes back in time highlighting the important moments. But it also has images layer and placed on top to show what is going on. I thought it was quite a clever way to show time passing and it was also interesting seeing what other members of the group picked up on. 

This week we also hung the work we had produced last week. This time as there were so many images we hung the work in a slightly different way. For one thing we used drawing pins instead of bull dog clips as they were smaller and the bull dog clips would have detracted from the image as they are quite large. But like last time we used a laser level to make sure our images were straight and lined up properly.
