During the Love and Rebellion theme , I have covered many different styles of art and photography, using new and challenging software. Some of the major projects have been our photo-zines and short films, which I decided, would both be about the main theme of love.

PHOTO-ZINE:

My photo-zine consists of 16 pages with 9 different final images revolving around the main theme of love. The story within my zine shows the relationships in my family through three different generations, my grandparents, my parents and my own. Creating the photo-zine was very challenging as it forced me to be creative on a new piece of software, Adobe InDesign, which I had never used before. All of the images are in black and white, which contrasts the photos imbedded between the images of family members, as well as this it links them together to strengthen the idea that they are all from the same family tree.

SHORT FILM:

My short film, Multiple Identities, may have been the most challenging projects so far, as I’ve never made a film before. I chose the theme of gender in my project, linking it to political movements about gender identity, hence the name ‘Multiple Identities’. Using Premiere Pro was also very difficult as I’d never used it before. Although, despite this, the film has been my favourite project so far as it’s allowed me to explore my ideas in a more creative way, for example, during my film I used a mixture of stop motion footage and normal clips.

NEWSPAPER SPREADS:

After the making of my short film, Multiple Identities, we where able to make a series of edits and experimentations that could be used to go into a newspaper. Our guidelines where to choose two film stills to form a juxtaposition, 5-12 still to form a story board, 1 image to form a full bleed two page spread and to use different stills to make a montage. Using InDesign I was able to position my images, and using Photoshop I was able to make layers and form a collage.
