Rebecca Class Experimentation and possition.

After an extensive research I analyzed the concepts and effects in 90s videos and this is what i came up with.

I Find quite interesting the way how my video is not completely linear. The morning was perfect and I enjoyed this experiences. Nature is a basic element to embellish films. This experiment was very successful. The effects used in this short video give a different sense to the video. It is a great video. Things to improve in the next video is more locations and dark film also I need to research about imposition of videos.

Rebeccas class Alfred Hitchcock experiment

As a class task we were asked to produce a same reaction to a different scenario. I have chosen a pleasure face. After dinner when I am satisfied I smile and also after i use the gentleman room. This experiment took me while and it was surprisingly confusing.I used still images. I prefer moving images because It was hard to fit the screen but at the end this was the result. the music i used was taken from an old cartoon to represent time frame relationship with the experiment.

Rebecca's class 24 frames chasing secuence

In Class we are asked to produce a series of 24 frames in a linear order. The reason for this experiment was to try to explain first the position of the camera as well as the many different kinds of shots possible in a video sequence. Second was to demonstrate how it is more successful to keep the story line to a simple sequence because when there's too many shots it can be more confusing so we learned to keep it simple rather than more complicated.


The first sequence and the second show the same story, however as demonstrated the second makes more sense than the first.

 Video mistakes

There are different kinds of video mistakes that people tend to make. This mistakes make the movie boring and sometimes it takes the character and aim of the compositions. This time My group focused in head  hunting which is basically shooting the same thing in the same angle over and over again.

Rebeccas class/ Cassandra class. Fabians Own research.

The 90's was a time where the most amazing special and experimental effects were being created. Artist from everywhere starting experimenting with their art. This was called the X Generation They invented New Genres such as Grunge and Techno and other interesting mixes. This was not just art It became lifestyles, social groups. This Video from Perl Jam Has different effects and timeline. also it involves animation text and illustration. I particularly like the way the lights are a very important element of the composition. The effect that I am most impressed by is the way they put three images at the same time in an abstract scenario giving life and drama to the song and the video. Video effects were a very important form of art in the 90's.

Object class Research

pre-Columbian art is art made by indigenous people of the americas before the European invasion. There were several tribes and communities such as the aztecs, maya, etc... Their civilisations was located in the Island in the atlantic andes and central America and North America. These people used clay to make pottery and gold to produce other artefacts such as jewellery. However this did not have any value as we know it. It was for spiritual purposes and ceremonies. The images I would like to show have very spiritual value and they are lucky to exist. The objects show human and animal characteristics, some of them represented gods and other deities.

Rebecca's class Music video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuZhnNR6vzc


This video is very interesting. It is political and the animation is very well designed. This animation is the kind of animation I would like to do. It talks about corruption and theres political figures such as Hitler soldiers war and the US president. I like how everything is put together in different scenarios like an animated collage.

Object class Badges

Today we learned about medals and badges. I researched about some badges in the pokemon cartoon and this is what I found. This Gym badges were given to the pokemon trainers every time they won a battle.

This badges are pretty much logos that represent the king of pokemon that the trainers have to fight against. rock, water, mgic, love, and vegetables, air and so on. this are pretty simple but succesful when trying to get their meaning. 

Rebeccas Class Position shots

James Franco is one of my favorite is an actor, director, screenwriter, producer, teacher, author and poet. He has been part of many movies and productions. As i researched for some of his movies I came across a very interesting movie, As I lay dying. This movie was based after  the novel written by William Faulkner in 1939 with the same name.

In this movie Franco decided to write a screenplay of the novel with a fellow student, Matt Rager. The novel As I Lay Dying was described as a story impossible to be transformed into a film due to the multi-narrative voices within it. Franco saw this as a challenge and was able to depict the many voices, through choices of styling through camera edits. Faulkner told this story in a chorus of voices: 15 narrators in the 59 chapters. To locate an equivalent for the novel’s polyphonal scheme. Franco in relation to this decision employs the use of narrative expressed through dialogue and voice overs. James Franco also incorporates different elements such as split screen which is effective in a sense which, allowing the viewers to connect to the isolation each character experiences since they are connected by blood, duty, and desire. The filming took place in Mississippi from August 21, 2012 to October 5, 2012.

This was new to me as a never saw a movie with so much split screen before.  also the characters costumes and places were very interesting. I would say it is a movie worth to be seen.

Rebeccas Class Video Research on music video

So this term we are doing moving images as topic for our visual arts class. Music videos are a very creative way for artists to promote their music. There are some brilliant examples of music videos and video producers this time I will present the video drive from the band Incubus. As I name one of my favorite artists is M.C Escher. This music video was based on Escher Famous masterpiece drawing Hands.  Directed by Phil Harder, it features a simple musical session intercut with a rotoscoped animation of Brandon Boyd drawing himself. The animation was handled by both Boyd and drummer Jose Pasillas. The scenes from the official music video were shot in the McNamara Alumni Center on the University of Minnesota. The video was nominated for Best Group Video at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards but lost to 'N Sync.

This video for me is a very interesting animation and also it is a very smart way to bring something like a famous drawing back to life.

Object class research miniature

Dalton Ghetti is a 52-year old carpenter from Bridgeport, Connecticut and, without the aid of a magnifying glass, has been carving incredible miniature sculptures for over 25 years. His idea is to bring people’s attention to small things. Most of the pencils Ghetti uses are found on the streets and sidewalks. He turns discarded objects into art. 

The artist works by removing

specks of graphite at a time and therefore it takes months or sometimes years to complete a sculpture. For Ghetti, sculpting pencils is a hobby and a form of meditation. His pencil carvings are not for sale as he doesn’t do it for money. He sculpts pencils mostly for himself and his art comes from his heart. 

Rebeccas class video had hunting

Learning about the don'ts on video, we were asked to produce videos in which we do the wrong things. We chose head hunting which means being repetitive and not having variety of angles and shots. this makes videos boring and plain. 

Object Class

We have been asked to present 10 objects for inspiration and meaning for us. I have chosen Some of the most Popular objects for humanity. I also choose them from different art disciplines and time frames. 

Hydrogen bomb

This is a nuclear weapon. 

Nuclear weapons are basically one of the most destructive forces in the world. This is probably not an art piece but it certainly is one of the science most horrific discovery. I have chosen this one because of the huge impact it has on humans. Nuclear weapons work by producing very vast radiation and energy by breaking down hydrogen atoms. Albert Einstein is called the father of nuclear weapons, however he wasn't meant to produce it. 

Caterpillar trucks

This one is one of the biggest vehicles ever built, These The Caterpillar 797 dump truck is a model of large dump trucks, typically used in open pit mining, manufactured by Caterpillar Inc.^[1] The 789 has a capacity of 195 tons, and its engine can produce 1705 horsepower. It is made of steal and other metals also different types of plastics. 

Coke bottle

One of the most famous drinks in the world. Its logo is world wide famous and in design we would call it a very successful design. developed in the 19th century by John Pemberton. The coke bottle is an object that has been all around the world. materials used are glass and steal for the cap.

 Michael Angelo - David



This sculpture was made by Michangelo during the Renaissance. It was made out of marble and it was made to represent the beauty of the creation. It is a very significant piece for western culture.

 The Patrona towers


This towers were built in Malasia and it took 7 years to complete the whole construction. During this time several building companies were involved in the building. It has like shaped diamond which resembles muslim culture. The building is made of concrete and steal. This is a marvel for the world and  for architecture and engineering. They were the tallest building until 2012.

 Gibson Guitars


Gibson guitars are very famous around the word some of the most famous guitarists in the world have used a Gibson guitar. some are specially designed for the needs of the players. this special one is a robot guitar which tunes itself. Certainly its a proof of the evolution of music.

 Iphones


The I phone was developed in the 21st century.  The introduction of mobile phones in the 90s The I phone is probably the most successful mobile in the world. Since the introduction of the telephone in 1876 by Alexander Graham bell many phones were developed however globalisation and technology brought the Iphone to a great success.

 The wheel

The wheel transform the history of the human being. It is the simplest of all machines and it helps humans in all different ways. This object is used for transportation and all other uses. it can be build in all different kind of materials.

 The miniskirt

In Fashion design the miniskirt made a great impact. Invented in the 50s the miniskirts were introduced to a very conservative society that banned them however the adoption of miniskirts change peoples minds and gave woman freedom and power. It was most spread by Mary Quantum a English Fashion designer from London. Miniskirts however, were not invented in this time.

Space Crafts. 

Space crafts are objects that can travel outside of our planet. the construction of aircrafts require technology and materials not usual in any other industry. They can go trough the layers of the atmosphere. I admire nasa and all their effort to bring people the opportunity of thinking further than whats on earth.
