“The Journey to the Beginning”

(Finalise title not confirm yet)

Flashback or transition, going back into time…

My film will be a collection of images that i took during the days spent with my grandparents. I will be showcasing both the time-lapse moment and also single images.Travelling to Hainan to visit my ancestors, i love capturing the moments which i spent during the 1 week. In this film, i will be portraying the documentary process of images from the photo album, which eventually leads to the middle sequence… and finally the end( Back in Singapore routine).

During the documentary film, there will be voice over and also the surrounding atmosphere sound which brings the images to life. I was actually inspired by this film director- Wang Bing who filmed the three sisters- the filming actually took place in China.

Here’s the break-down sequence for the documentary film.(Planning diagram) Will be adding more images in-between the empty spots 



The first cut is only 7 sec (images taken during my trip to Hainan), The second cut will be up very soon (Still adjusting the voice over now)




Comments comments!! Give me comments for both the concept arrangement on how my video will flow and also the video posted hehe !! Thank you

“Concept 2”


“The Journey to the beginning”


Flashback or transition, going back into time..Here’s to another concept. I decided to capture the moments and journey of my grandparents.


Being able to travel to their hometown -Hainan, i decided to film a documentary journey as it gives a lot of feel to it, and also, it immerse the viewer into the video through the sound surrounding it.

Inspired by the film that Professor Vladimir showed us during lesson, a documentary film by Wang Bing, i decided to follow his footstep and take this video as a challenge. (Piecing the images that i took into a documentary film showcase)


This is the short film at Professor Vladimir showed us:




The finalise chosen concept will be posted on the next post…

“The Journey to Unpredictability”


[The Ideation- Pt 1(Brainstorming)]


The most difficult journey…is the one that lies within ourselves. Words live everywhere, but not every place has been known to be safe.


In this concept, i tried to portray my life through the ups and downs i face daily, trying to escape fear.


[The images are arranged in sequence in which it flows from being realistic into something unpredictable.]

“The Journey …”


[The Initial Ideation- Pt 2]


The 2nd planning i had was to capture the moments in which i am taking the public transport to school. I thought of capturing the moments of peoples facial expression to show the morning rush in their looks. Walking from one end to the other end of the cabin, i manage to capture the full view with the subject in it.

“The Journey …”


[The Initial Ideation- Pt 1]


 


When i was first introduced to this Assignment, the first thought i had was (The journey daily). With the massive jam during the peak period and the endless quite nights, i thought of this composition,showing the process of my journey daily which i will be projecting it on a time-lapse image motion.Below are the selected cuts that i had for my initial planning ideation.


Beginning of the story concept:The daily traffic congestion

“Journal”


[The Exploration and Development]




I kept my journal grey scale as all the exploration and works are all black and white. 

I divided my journal into 8 parts; 

- Introduction, 
- Automatic Techniques, 
- Mono-printing, 
- What are lines?, 
- Furtherin-dept research, 
- Artist reference, 
- Exploration and Development 
- Final

“A Line is a dot that went for a walk”


This project is inspired after famous quote by artist Paul Klee

In this project, we are suppose to use concept of line to interpret eighteen topics following the template given on the assignment sheet. Lines should vary to express the character

of the following subjects: anxious, embarrassed, bizarre, exhausted, fragile, systematic, lyrical, turbulent, nonsensical, psychotic, ambiguous, spontaneous, distracted, sloven, sensual, aggressive, awkward, and indecisive.

Through this learning process, I got to explore many different areas and techniques. Starting with just simple lines which was developed further, I really enjoyed this overall assignment which allows me to explore freely.


I feel all this now.


Anxious, 


Embarrassed, 


Bizarre, 


Exhausted,


Fragile, 


Systematic, 


Lyrical, 


Turbulent, 


Nonsensical,


Psychotic, 


Ambiguous, 


Spontaneous, 


Distracted, 


Sloven, 


Sensual, 


Aggressive, 


Awkward, 


Indecisive.Screen Shot 2015-09-19 at 7.45.06 am[This marks the end of the project]

“In the Making”


The Final ProcessFullSizeRender 11 copy


Piecing and arranging them together the was the hardest as all the 18 strips needs to be in, not only that, it needs to show balance and contrast in it. Following and inserting the principles of art and design, I played around with the arrangement around 6 times just to get the perfect look for the overall presentation.

“Thinking out of the box”


The Exploration and Development


Also inspired by Ed Moses art piece, i decided to try a technique which i thought out of the box.


Story Line 1 (Thinking out of the box)


Huge and small bubbles represents the thinking out of the box technique.Ed Moses being experimental and unique, this is what inspired me.

Story Line 2 (Injection of water into bubble wrap represents the ideas that is filled in the bubble wrap.)


FullSizeRender 7


FullSizeRender 8


Story Line 3 (Black and white half or full filled represents the amount of spontaneity in it.) #Spontaneity


FullSizeRender 20


What if i burst the water? What explosive effect will it develop into? Inspired by Cai Guo Qiang //(Experimentation with explosives and the development of his signature ignition events)

“Ed Moses”


The Exploration and Development


This artwork caught my eyes, which made me want to develop further.


40631a28-b5fa-44de-997f-d2eff4ee5d8f


While exploring Pinterest, I came across this technique called the Shibori Technique. It reminds me of Ed Moses art work.


Shibori Technique is a Japanese tie-dyeing technique where there are an infinite number of ways one can bind, stitch, fold, twist, or compress cloth for shibori, and each way results in very different patterns. Each method is used to achieve a certain result, but each method is also used to work in harmony with the type of cloth used.


Therefore, the technique used in shibori depends not only on the desired pattern, but the characteristics of the cloth being dyed. Also, different techniques can be used in conjunction with one another to achieve even more elaborate results.


Below are the process of my Shibori Technique
