Reflection on Blog

-
This Blog has been the showcase of all the work I have done for my Digital Arts module for this term. In the first few weeks I did not fully understand all of the steps that needed to be posted probably because I was unfamiliar with this module so in every post I received commentary that I needed more detail and that the writing wasn't enough. Overtime I got used to the way it worked and clearly understood that I needed initial ideas, process, research and reflection for all my work. I tried to keep up with the amount of 3 blogposts per week so I could receive feedback and eventually have time to change something without getting to the final weeks and having loads of work to complete.
I think I have done quite a lot of research and learnt from it. One thing I improved with time is the reflection and showing critical commentary.

Overall I believe my blogposts have all the information they require

In this blog post I have researched three different Journalists, each of these researches will help me with different aspects. Diana Sawyer helped me gain some knowledge and ambition for the future while Hanna Dreier and Robert Fisk have helped me achieve some clearer ideas for my major project, on the different characteristics and strategies used by journalists.   Diane Sawyer, ABC News Diane Sawyer is an American television broadcast journalist that has worked for the ABC World news program from 2009 to 2014. Sawyer grew up in Louisville, Kentucky and started off her career by working as a television weather reporter for station WLKY. In 1970 she joined the white house serving the Nixon Ford transition team in 1974. A year later she left politics and returned to television by becoming a news correspondent  in the Washington, D.C bureau of CBS network. Sawyer started to become popular when she became the co-anchor of  the CBS prime time television ne...

Sequential Photography by Duane Michals

I have researched sequential photography by Duane Michals in order to help me understand the details and key elements used in creating sequential photography. I chose two kinds of images that I found very interesting Duane Michals (1998),  Dr. Heisenberg's Magic Mirror of Uncertainty This set of sequential imagery taken by Duane Michals is called Dr. Heisenberg's Magic Mirror of Uncertainty. In every photo the model is reflected in a different way by the mirror. The reflection shown by the mirror varies in response to the way she looks at it, and this is described as uncertainty. All of the photographs are distorted in an unnatural way, showing two faces or no face at all. Michals was trying to illustrate Heisenberg's Principle of Uncertainty, and therefore says that uncertainty permits the possibility of everything and anything. I find this set of pictures very eye-catching because the various reflections of the woman in the mirror attracted my attention fro...

Sequential photography made by me (individually)

My initial ideas on this task were to create a set of sequential images that had a deeper meaning compared to the set we created as classwork. I came up with the idea to shoot a set of sequential images whilst giving money to a man in need. I decided to place the action of giving the money halfway through the images because I wanted to create a sort of narrative within the images. In this way, I was able to show the difference in the man's expression before having the money and after having the money. As you can see below, I drew a storyboard sketch to demonstrate my initial idea. Storyboard sketch: Process of Editing: I took the pictures with my phone and I changed the original color to a black&white filter using my camera settings.  Then, I edited the brightness of each photo to a higher level still using the camera settings on my phone.                              ...
