Process: Article draft

-

I have completed a first draft of my article and sent it to my tutor for feedback.

As you can see, most of the comments are correcting sentence structure and grammatical errors, although there are 2 main points I have work on. First thing to consider is a hook- a hook should get my readers interested in my writing. A possible hook that might excite my readers may be: 

How is fashion going to look like in 2020? Nobody really knows, but from what we know,  there are efforts being made to help our planet. 

or 

The change in fashion industry we all awaited, may be closer than ever. 


The second point I have to develop is a conclusion. The line of argument in this writing is that the Coronavirus has pushed designers and others involved in the fashion industry to be more sustainable and responsible. So, I will develop the conclusion around this idea and the final thought would be that the pandemic has brought an advantage-it has helped develop future prospects in fashion, raising awareness on the urgency to preserve our planet.

An example could be: 

Although it is pretty hard to believe that fashion shows will move to a complete digital form forever, a new era of sustainability may be approaching as designers are taking their first steps towards a greener future. "This crisis has made the waste and excess more visible" says Emma Hope Allwood, head of fashion at Dazed Digital. The changes we hope to see are a lower amount of carbon footprint derived from fashion shows, less production of garments, and a strong and inspiring message towards sustainability; we have to put an end to the excessive waste. After all, the Coronavirus may have brought some positive reform within the fashion world.

    Okay as a writer in the real world you would have had at least two more drafts before publication - I think I would have spent much more time on this process as a writer as this is what you should be doing - honing your writing skills. In the future more time and consideration is needed on this aspect of your work

Project Sign Off: Prada's Multiple Views

-

Last Tuesday, scrolling down my Instagram feed, I see Prada posting on Instagram a series of videos titled as Multiple Views in chapters from 1-5. These short films were created to showcase the Spring/Summer 2021 collection in a technologic and surreal way, how Miuccia Prada sees the world today- her vision for the "post-pandemic fashion market" (Madsen, 2020). Chapter 4 - Prada Multiple View Spring/Summer 2021 Chapter 4 was a obvious response to the world of today. Models were placed in different seating rows inside the theater due to social distancing with screens, mobiles, and virtual realty everywhere. A music that is almost scary, resembling horror films and staring looks all suggest the effects of technology and the digital era. Martine Syms, the photographer of chapter 4 created this video with the intention of showing what it feels like to live in these lockdown/digital times “I’m inspired by the way screens have come to make and unmake us, and what it means

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.                                                                               I chose the pictures that
