More reseatch! (sequential photography )

I decided to do a little bit more research on sequential photography.  I was looking for sequential photography works and the internet to help me build a clear image of this concept. 

I came across the works of Kim Taylor. Using a special photographic technique that's catches everything from the beat of a bird's wing to the flick of a squirrel's tail as it leaps through the air, Kim Taylor's stunning photos of an animal's ability to move from one place to another, also known as locomotion is shown in awesome detail. Here are some of her works. 



Although I don't have the equipment to make anything like this these photographs still fascinate me. Clarity of a movement makes these pictures come to life. 

Another artist I came across is Alexis Hunter. Alexis Hunter was born in 1948 in New Zealand. She obtained an honors degree in painting and History of Art and Architecture at the Elam School of Fine Art in 1969. Her Narrative sequences were devised as an intervention in the women's art movement of the seventies and at the time was shown at the Hayward, the ICA and the Sydney Biennale, and various European museums 

War and Nature 1978


Sexual Warface 1974 



Her works like 'War and Nature' moved the subject matter into wider issues like the inevitability of nature versus the human path of destruction and aggression. Viewed now this piece is remarkably pertinent with the current debates over our human imprint of the Earth in terms of both nature and society.

    You do not have source urls under the first two images - please add these - it is also worth considering technically how these were actually created

Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986

Image
                                                                          (Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986 - opening scene) In today's class, we were introduced to one of the cult films " Ferris Bueller's Day Off " Written and directed by John Hughes who is also known for works such as "Planes, Trains & automobiles" ( 1987) and "The Breakfast Club" (1985). Movie was  produced by Paramount pictures.(IMDB)  "Paramount Pictures, In full Paramount Pictures Corporation, one of the first and most successful of the Hollywood film studios. It became a subsidiary of viacom in 1994"   (Britannica).   Ferris Bueller's day off in my opinion is ultimate lazy Sunday afternoon movie, sending nothing but good emotions. Matthew Broderick who was nominated for the Golden Globe award in 1987  for the best performance by any actor in motion picture ( Golden Globes) delivers fun, intreaging and all rounded character to life, making us feel like we

Development of my project

Image
With the deadline just around the corner I finished drafting and ready to submit the project I was carrying out throughout the media 2 module. While redrafting for the last time, I aimed to get rid of unnecessary words and sentences in order to control the tone throughout my work. I also looked at minimalism as a literary device.  'Minimum is both an ending and a beginning, the terminus of patient processes of simplification reduction, exposition, intensification and clarification.' (Botha, 2017)   Will You Please Be Quiet,Please? (Carver, 2014),                                        What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (Carver, 2009)    Also, while working on my story I was reading two short story collections written by Raymond Carver: Will You Please Be Quiet, Please? and What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. Reading these collections greatly informed me of Raymond Carver's work and gave me inspiration when editing my own work. I was interested by minimalism
