In order to choose my exit project, I had to do a lot of thinking and deciding in order to uncover what I would select as my exit project’s subject. Originally, I had several ideas at hand; learning how to produce film, restoring an old camera, building a camera, and learning post production editing. These projects were my original choices because I am a photography enthusiast and amateur. Later on, I realized that these projects weren’t achievable because of the requirements and difficulty level that came along with attempting the projects; I was at a standstill. I contemplated on these choices and eventually discovered an alternative; time lapse photography. Time lapse photography is a form of photography in which a sequence of photos is played at a faster rate. Before choosing time lapse photography as my exit project, I had already seen time lapses before without consciously knowing about it. The timelapses that I watched that were introduced to be via movies, short films, and other forms of visual arts, inspired me in many ways. This inspiration led me to chose time lapse photography as my exit project. Luckily, I had already found a mentor for this project; my father. The second step to carrying out my exit project, was researching about time lapse photography, how to make a time lapse video, and finding the needed materials to make the time lapse video. The research part was easy due to the research essay process that was required of us. To complete my exit project, I had to have a thoroughly written research essay on my topic. Luckily, I had the proper resources and guidelines to complete this research paper. I did lots of research on how to create time lapse videos along with the history and origins of it. Writi... ... middle of paper ... ...will still need to create a script that will fit the correct time frame required to present my exit project to the judging panel. When the day of my presentation comes, I hope and pray that I will leave a strong impression and hopefully pass with great results. I have addressed how I plan to carry out my exit project. I talked about what is required of me to complete my exit project, what I have done so far, and what I still need to do towards my progress and completion of my time lapse video. Doing this project has helped me discover my purposes for choosing it: to expand my knowledge, experience, and technique on photography, explore my photography capabilities, and to give me a overall opinion on my future in relation to photography. I also will use this project and the experiences that come with it as a test of my faith in myself, patience, and perseverance.
Have you ever been at the beach safely shielded by a dark pair of sunglasses and just watched? Being a silent third party to a father screaming at his seven-year-old daughter for putting the inner tube in the wrong place. People watching has for a long time been one of my favorite activities as third party you are able to see people for what they are, unbiased by already having known the person. Eugene Richards’s book has made me look at my hobby from an artistic vantagepoint. He’s made me start to think that one day I would like to be one behind a telephoto lens capturing those moments that people don’t think anyone else saw. Richards photographs have made me relies that photography is more then a point a shoot process.
My research question was, what jazz techniques did Sidney Bechet use and how can I use these to compose my own clarinet piece? There were different research processes used to find the answer to my question and they were: the internet, books, an interview, videos and music. These processes were useful to me as the information was accessed easily and effectively. Each process was used to find a different aspect of my research and allowed me to discover different angles and opinions on the topic. Using books, interviews and videos were new research processes for me and I discovered that they are very useful when conducting the research for this topic.
The poem “Extended Development” by Sarah Kay explores the ways in which the art of photography has changed throughout time, yet still remains a highly important and influential hobby. More specifically, how photography is an important aspect in each member of the speaker’s family. By using allusions, characterization, and imagery, Kay explores how the art of photography has changed throughout time.
A picture is more than just a piece of time captured within a light-sensitive emulsion, it is an experience one has whose story is told through an enchanting image. I photograph the world in the ways I see it. Every curious angle, vibrant color, and abnormal subject makes me think, and want to spark someone else’s thought process. The photographs in this work were not chosen by me, but by the reactions each image received when looked at. If a photo was merely glanced at or given a casual compliment, then I didn’t feel it was strong enough a work, but if one was to stop somebody, and be studied in curiosity, or question, then the picture was right to be chosen.
Since the beginning of civilisation, discoveries have encompassed an enticing notion of uncovering something for the first time; however contemporary perceptions of discovery appreciate the transformative nature of newfound realisations whether they arise from a process of deliberate planning or are evoked unexpectedly. Simon Nasht’s 2004 movie documentary Frank Hurley: The Man Who Made History explores the lifetime of the celebrated photojournalist and grand illusionist, Frank Hurley, who pioneered the art of photography and documentary filmmaking and transformed various principles, cultures and civilisations along the way. Correspondingly, Kate Chopin’s contextually divisive and avant-garde short story The Story of an Hour recounts the emotional
“Lights. Camera. Action.” The New York City based photographer and director, Joey Lawrence has been making a living since the age of 15 as a photographer with a mission. His mission is to spread and inspire creativity throughout the generations, by a push of his finger on his handy Canon EOS 5D whenever the moment is right or “interesting”, as he always says. I chose Joey because of the spunk and confidence he displays with his work and how he gave it his all even at the young age of 15. He has inspired me to go for my dreams even when everyone else finds it too astonishing to be able to come true, and because of that I want to find out more about him and share it with other people to help carry out his mission.
It is encouraging to know that if you are dedicated to learning and willing to put forth the effort, you can accomplish amazing things. By no means do I wish to be a famous photographer, but I do have a desire to travel and share stories with those around me, and it is encouraging to know that I can still accomplish these things without being “educated” in that particular field.
Documentary was not so proudly looked upon in the early years of cinema back in 1890 to 1920's, as back then you didn't have the right essential to travel and film on the go. Without the advances in technology, documentary filmmakers will struggle to produce new and interesting films, this was until the portable cameras where invented and brought to our use, providing a whole era of talented young directors, we understand and see more of the world now than ever before due to the facts and imagery that is produced by documentary director. Since technology has grown since early cinema the content in which documentary has provided us, is in variety of modes such as expository documentaries, observational documentaries and reflexive documentaries, all these offer different areas of film. This is due to the fact documentary can push the boundaries on how far they can go and where they can go, due to the fact that digital technology is increasingly alternating, giving new opportunities to offer an exhilarate and more stunning pictures/films for the public/audience to see and be a part of.
While making this project, and completing the other Personal Projects throughout the year, I mainly learned about the developing of photos and the origin of photography. When I was making the poster, I had to research for two days straight, looking up what to develop photographs with and how to develop photographs. After, when I bought the materials to develop photos, took the first photo with my homemade oatmeal box pinhole camera, and developed the my first photograph, I made a mistake. But, I definitely learned a lot about developing photos from that single mistake. Since I went back to the photography store where I bought the developing supplies four times in that one week, I learned more and more about developing photos every time. Before completing these Personal Projects, This project increased my little to no knowledge of the topic and made my passion for photography bigger. I now really understand my topic, too. Now that I've learned the base of photography, I will understand different subjects in the branches of photography I want to learn about in the future. I think that it's good to learn the base of a subject before you learn the entire subject because it gives you a good idea of what the subject's roots really are. After studying photography for a year, I've learned about how photography started, what pinhole cameras and camera obscuras are,
The film “In Time”, directed by Andrew Niccol expresses the capitalistic society through the movie by setting money a currency. In this scene, the timekeeper Raymond Leon arrests Will Salas and takes back all of his time that he received from Henry Hamilton for a gift. After losing his time, just left with two hours, he ran away with a hostage which is Sylvia Weiss. In this interrogation scene, the power of a system and ignorant society was shown with cinematography, mise-en-scene, sound and lightings.
I am here today to help you wade through the mazes of equipment and composition, hopefully showing you how to make better pictures.
“Millions of men have lived to fight, build palaces and boundaries, shape destinies and societies; but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit.” This is a quote from Ansel Adams who was arguably one of the most famous photographers. He was also one of the people who embraced the different aspects of the true art of photography in the twentieth century.
I created the story of trying to pack for a trip. When a person has to find the things they need, make sure the suitcase fits and just overall feeling ready. I got the idea when I realized my sister and mom are leaving for school trip to New York, because she is a part of the Drill Team. When I started to help them get ready I thought I could do it for my final project. I tried new angles and tried to show the struggle everyone knows goes through when getting ready to leave their home for a trip. I decided to make this a short documentary film. It is a short film but also shows my point of view of packing that is why I chose documentary.
When going for a walk, a person takes in the beauty around them. On this particular day, the refulgent sun is extra bright, making the sky a perfect blue. White, puffy clouds fill the sky, slowing moving at their own pace. The wind is peacefully calm, making the trees stand tall and proud. There is no humidity in the air. As this person walks down the road, they see a deer with her two fawns. The moment is absolutely beautiful. Moments like this happen only once in a great while, making us wanting to stay in the particular moment forever. Unfortunately, time moves on, but only if there were some way to capture the day’s magnificence. Thanks to Joseph Niépce, we can now capture these moments and others that take our breath away. The invention of the camera and its many makeovers has changed the art of photography.
Thesis: It's essential to know your camera’s features and settings if you want to take the best possible photos!
