Koyaanisqatsi

Koyaanisqatsi
A 1999 American film which involves slow motion and time lapse photography through a cityscape. There are many scenes in the film where they are slowed down and sped up. This is used to create dramatic effect. It is a documentary film where there is no conventional plot, it focus is changed from subject to subject, with no specific link between them.

timelapse sequence research

Image
Time -lapse photography is where a certain amount of frame still images are taken and then put together to make a moving video. These video present the course of time and how things can change within a certain time frame. Time-lapse's speed up time to show the change. Sequence photography is when you take a series of photos where the subject changes during each image to capture time. There are lots of different ways sequence photography can be presented such as, in the same photo or in separate images alongside each other.

project evaluation

Project Evaluation Over the process of doing this project, I have experimented using different techniques to create work inspired by other photographer that solves a problem based in time. I think the things that went well with this project are the time lapses' which were created using photoshop and show ice melting over the period of time. I also think I improved on using this technique and took it further to use it as a final outcome. I think another experiment that went well was the Harold Edgerton experiment, this was something I enjoyed doing and I would have like to take some more time to experiment further with. However, it was a lengthy process in setting up and achieving good results from this. It is a trial and error and luck to capture a good outcome from this. I think I could have experimented more using the stop motion narrative process, by taking more photos to extend the story as I feel it is quite short. I learn from my final outcome of the ice melting how diffi...

Justin Quinnell research

Justin Quinnell Quinnell was first introduced to the idea of pinhole when he was four he had to have an operation on his eye. He had to have a bandage over it with a small hole in it as vision. He has also experimented using lots of different objects to create a pinhole for example a wheelie bin, a shoe box and a tin can. He creates his own pinhole cameras using a tin can. He puts them up facing south for a long time to capture the suns movement across the sky for around 3- 6 months. I have created my own pin hole camera using a 500ml can and put photographic paper in it. I also have put it facing south and I will leave it there for around 3 months to create a similar piece to Quinnell's work.  This is one of his work which shows what looks like a grave yard for around 3-6 months. It appears to show how the suns position change in the sky over this time. The gaps between where the lines meet shows days or periods of where the sun it not there, like a cloud or a rainy day. This pin...
