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.
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.
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 a 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 vantage point. 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 realise that photography is more than a point a shoot process.
...el through time and show newer generations of the events of the past and the rich history of a particular country. With the use of all the technology over the years, photography has now become a major part of everyday life and the photographer behind the camera.

The films A Trip to the Moon, Man With a Movie Camera and Meshes of the Afternoon were all inventive pieces for their time. A Trip to The Moon (1902) was one of the first films to make a relationship between films and dreams. The story is about a group of men who take off to the moon, and get into some trouble with the natives and come back home. Some aspects of the film reminded me a lot of theatre, specifically that the camera never changes angles in the scenes, the sets were very two dimensional, and that the costumes were all very elaborate. However, this short film also featured forms of expression that was not available to other art forms, for example the animations. I was surprised at the quality of the animations for being made in 1902, and my favorite was the face in moon, and all the animated stars and meteors in the background. The cross-dissolve transitions are another aspect of the film that was new for the time, and unavailable to use in the theatre.
My senior project is on a career in Broadcasting but more specifically sports videography. The field of sports videography has been around for many years and has many opportunities for people to explore within it like myself, and room technologically for advancements. It also requires years of schooling and internships. Sports Videography is a crucial part in society today; as sports and television continue to play such a big part in people’s lives, and sports videography is a way for people to view that.
The consensus is that film photography has gone into extinction with the emergence of affordable digital media. Countless comparisons have been made between the two formats to see which best duplicates the most realistic portrayal. The key component that makes a captivating image is left out when people compare technical specifications. Photography is more than just pressing a button and shifting through a memory card to find a winner. It is about creating an image that expresses a vision at a decisive moment in time.
The driving question in this project is, “How can the choice of individuals cause revolutions?”. This project needed to include a news segment about a certain event in the revolutionary war, everyone had to have a role in the video, and it needed to have a script before hand. The video needed to be 1-2 minutes long, and had to be as realistic as possible. It also had to include a bibliography at the end of the video.The first thing we did was make a paper timeline of all the important events in the revolutionary war. Then, we got our specific event and made posters to share with the class on the event. Next, we made a basic storyboard of the ideas for the video. Then, we had to start making a script for our video. Finally, we practiced and
I am here today to help you wade through the mazes of equipment and composition, hopefully showing you how to make better pictures.
Over the last 25 years technology has adapted to somewhat take over our lives. Photography has also adapted in order to serve the publics needs as well as transform itself to keep up with the technological advancements. I feel that technology changes to fit the culture that it serves and in our culture we want more and we want it fast. Twenty years ago photography’s main focus was image quality and simplicity of the art. This made the challenge making it so everyone could be a photographer. Whether you are trying to merely save a memory for your family to enjoy later or you are trying to depict an image of war in order to use in a piece in an important newspaper article. This has become very clear in the past ten years. Since the evolution
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.
Thanks to the influences of my project (such as Prue Stent, Aso Mohammadi and Petra Collins), I've mastered my photographic skills as the artists which I explored in depth helped me with my own artistic development, and pushed forward my ideas to life with the use of experimentation. My work reflects different backgrounds and styles which I consider really important as I wanted to implement and build a different unique style, which ended up brilliantly creating my own. Through the development of my work I found myself rediscovering myself in a new innovative way as I’ve got deeply in touch with my artistic side, trying things I’ve never done before
Aims and the objectives In this the research I have analyzed three characters Bill Morrison (American filmmaker), Dziga Vertov (Soviet film director) and Jodie Mack (film director). The filmmaker I have concentrated on is Bill Morrison, he is popular for his recontextualization and montage to understand his style and how to apply it to my work I had to: Execute an analysis to understand how did Bill Morrison approach that level of recontextualization and montage. Review some of his project to visualize methods he uses. Morrison at some point was largely concentrating on the archival footage, which then has benefited the work he has developed and the method he had built.
To begin with, photography appeared to me as something entertaining a simple step in which one took a camera and simply shot a photograph of oneself or a friend. When I was handed my schedule for Mrs. Jones’s class, I felt as if this class had in store a special reward for me. As the days went by, Instead of being anxious of getting out of class I had a craving for additional time in the class. The class kept my eyes glued to the screen ...
The time to breathe before advancing further in my future projects, the difficult moments instead of discouraging me, these moments give me motivation and the necessary energy to move forward. I am optimist but realistic. My parents taught me that we live in a world that is constantly changing and to succeed we need a smart plan and the ability to adapt and adjust to the changing world environment but more importantly one need to prepare one’s self to succeed. We need discipline and above all an unshakable will to resist difficulties when they happen. “An ongoing work of art” would probably be one of the best ways to describe my life. From very early on in life, I have learn that I can be the artist of my own life through guidance and hard work, I learned that we are the architecture of our life, the artist of our own destiny through work, commitment and determination. Every route taken or not taken will somehow impact our existence and leave a trail like a shooting star in the night sky, the beauty of the trail depends entirely on the nature of our actions in life. This is the first time in my existence I have had the opportunity to write the story of my life in detail. This exercise
