Animation


We met the artist Liam Nunn and he taught us about how to do digital animation in Adobe After Effects. Before to create our small video we had to practiced moving a square. We took a look at how keyframes are placedand we exprienced. We had the opportunity to create a short animation of 5-10 seconds, thanks to the little character Liam Nunn had already created. In the whole 5-10 seconds animation we could make the character do funny face expressions, put stickers that disappeared after a few seconds, change the colours and make every part of her face move.

Storyboard

We were ask to develop our group project into a storyboard so that it will provides us a clear plan ahead of what we wish to make onour 30 sec film. We had to included details of individual scenes in our storyboard like shot sizes, the mise-en-scene, the  location, props, people, lighting, sound etc.

Storyboard

The term storyboard is used to visually explain and stage a story. This term is used in the world of advertising, cinema and animation. It allows you to cut a temporal sequence or sequence plane by synthesizing the main keyframes and planes that compose it.

Our storyboard

Here is our storyboard, with my group have drawn how our 30 sec video will develop. Then what our project is about feminization decided to cut our video into three parts. Three parts for three different decades on the history of feminism. In group had decided that it could be rather interesting if we link the three decades with doors. Basically every time the model opens a door it opens the door to a better future it was a metaphor. But because of some technical problems we did not involve the doors. We still managed to find another idea to get the messages across in a better and simpler way and it’s what we did in the video.

Artist reference- nft

For our NFT shoot video we want to represent feminism in each decade. We choose those feminist artists because their work express the same way we want to demonstrate our statement. Will use this artist in the same order.

Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman wanted to expose the image of women in society and the media. For this she experienced with photography and cinema. The artist’s goal was to create a more critical viewing, She involves her art to show social criticism hoping to sensitize subsequent generations of viewers. She began by painting in a super-realistic style in an art school in the aftermath of American feminism and in the 70s Sherman turned to photography in order to expand his exploration of women’s roles in society. Sherman sought to question the seductive and often oppressive influence of women in the media. Turning the camera on herself in an extensive fantasy Hollywood role-playing game, fashion, mass advertising, and “girl next door” roles and poses, Sherman finally drew her audience’s attention to the powerful machines and makeup behind the countless images circulating in an ever-public and “hip” culture. Sexual desire and domination, the creation of self-identity are hidden behind Sherman’s vast series of self-portraits in various forms. Sherman’s work is central to the era of intense consumerism and image proliferation in the late 20th century.

Clare Rae

In her photographic practice, Clare Rae explores ideas of performance and gesture to interrogate and subvert dominant modes of representation. Her work is informed by feminist theory, and presents an alternate and often awkward experience of the female body. Known for her engagement with domestic and institutional spaces, Rae’s work has recently been captured and exhibited in locations such as the National Gallery of Victoria, Monash University, the Abbotsford Convent, Sutton Project Space and the Substation, Melbourne.

Lissa Rivera

Lissa Rivera challenge the standard, expected norms of what identity and gender are in the medias. Lissa Rivera’s photographie is reliant to her personal history, she always felt unconmfortable by the expectations that were put on her to be feminine in a certain way. She feels that part of your identity had to do with what you see: by looking at pictures, movies or even videos online. People to adapt themselves to culture. Her photographies are a way to feel like home. She takes pictures of her partner BJ. Together they explore identity in relionships. Bj being an art historian, Lissa Rivera’s photographies are inpired of art history. In these collection Rivera takes pictures of the vulnerability and emotions of her partner she find beauty in it.
