Friday 25th August - What I did this lesson.

Screen Capture




With some photos, I used photoshop and did some editing.




































I borrowed a school camera for the weekend, but at lunch, I went to Mr. Ku's Physics tutorial to try and get some photos. This was the only decent photo that I created.

Monday 21st August - What did I achieve today?

This lesson, I created a mind map for the ideas for my Cartier inspired artwork. After that, I was finished and I decided to revisit some of my older work in photoshop.



Friday 21st July

This lesson, I was able to finish my PDM Booklet and I have started working on my oral presentation. However, I am struggling to find instructions on what to do in the oral presentation slideshow.

Henri Cartier-Bresson.jpg





I have started my research for my project and have decided on a French humanist photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson.  He is considered a master of candid photography and an early user of 35mm film. He pioneered the genre of street photography.














Here is some of his work:


Unit 3: The Artist as Influence.



Evidence of Pre-videoing and post editing

Evidence of pre-recording. This was in the script that I made many edits to as listed below.

  1. How has it been since you collected these cards?  It has been so long since I started collecting, but I think I have been collecting since I was really young, about 7 years old.

  1. How many cards have you collected, approx? I have collected around 14,000 cards, approx, But I know that this collection is insanely small compared the competitive gamers collection. Legend has it that professional gamers have more than 100,000 cards


  1. Where do you store all of these cards? I hide mine wherever I can, some are in boxes, others, I have stuffed into pages of books, into pocket of jackets. But other friends of mine have hired storage unit like from Kennards storage and have placed their cards in boxes there.  
  1. How long have you been living in the basement ?  I’ve been living in the basement since I started collecting my items because I knew I was going to have plenty of the cards.

  1. What's the most expensive items? The most expensive item in my collection is worth $1200.  It’s not much, but over time, it will become more rare and will be worth more.  


  1. What will you do when your card collection gets bigger than you? When my card collection becomes bigger than me, I will store all of the card in boxes and pile them high until it fills every room, then I will get more rooms and fill it there and then houses, then cities. LAUGHS MANIACALLY.  

  1. Would you sell your collection and how much would it be worth? It wouldn’t be worth a lot of money, it would only be a couple of hundred dollars. Some cards in this collection are worth a ton of money (about $1000), but other cards are only worth like $10.

EXTRA NOTES:
  1. Intro: the interviewer has some “magic cards” The interviewee follows them like a dog follows a bone. The interviewer uses the magic cards to try and get the interviewee to follow them. CUTSCENE. The interviewer and interviewee are seated and they start the interview process. The interviewer uses plain palm cards and refers to them as the interviewee’s most prized collection among his other millions of other items.


I considered making a shot list and storyboard, but then I figured that I would only be using 1 main shot/ angle and this makes having a storyboard detailing what angles useless. In the script, I included an extra note about how I planned on making the intro.


POST EDITING SECTION

Many scenes that had been filmed needed to be recorded again and added into the video as they were missing or the video files were corrupt. I also added another scene into the video because I felt that it was lacking in detail and also due to the fact that the video was short in the minimum time required for the video (3 min).
