Assignment 2 Week 1

The poem that I related to the most was The Visit by Jenny Bornholdt.
“you approach the world with open arms and hope it wants you”

Unsure of the future
Hopeful to leave uni and find a job
Uncertain that I'm doing the right thing
Scared of the unknown
Risk
Uncertain
Fear
scared

“you want to make friends, be boisterous”

The first day of uni – moving in the cube
Scared of the unknown
Knowing everyone is in the same boat but hoping to find friends
The pressure to socialise and get to know people
Forced to open up
Trying to be an extrovert instead of an introvert
Trust 


I started to research some imagery relating to typography and the words/feelings I felt in it.

These images explore the idea of trusting yourself/extrovert vs introvert/ opening up/pressure
These images explore the idea of risk/fear of the /uncertainty

I have done some research around the ides of shy vs boisterous 



I decided to photograph my own hands in a boisterous position and a shy position and overlayed the text "be boisterous" into the shape.

 Boisterous:

Week 4

This week I did some experiments with the type to see how I could incorporate this with the balloons. This one is using the handwritten type in the middle of the maze of balloons to show that there is no escape from the boisterousness and you cannot see the end cause the balloons look like they're endless. This trial was spelling out the word boisterous with the balloons however because its pinned down it was hard to get the same effect as pushing through the balloons. I think this looks the best cause its suspenseful and then at the end you get to see what the result is.  This was testing what it would look like with the word boisterous made out of the popped balloons. For this video I tried going through the balloon maze and popping them as I went. But this was a little difficult as the balloons were quite difficult to pop and had to do each one individually. However I like the effect of having the popped balloon on the ground forming the words. Th...

This video is my first attempt to put together a final video, I have increased the saturation and contrast and made the sound of the squeaking balloons more prominent. I have also added a posterised effect, however, I think I overdid this a little bit as you cant tell they are balloons anymore. I need to redo the word boisterous on the wall because it is a bit hard to see and the colours aren't in the right order. This is a second trial video for my final. The posterise effect looks better on this one but I still need to replace the boisterous word. Final video: Mocked up in situ: I would like this video to be projected onto a plain hallway so that people have to walk past it and feels as though they are walking through the balloons too. Rationale: The poem that I connected to the most was “the visit” by Jenny Bornholdt. The line I related to was “be boisterous”. I feel uncomfortable and intimated by boisterous people because this is...

I have done some more research into the word boisterous. The synonyms for boisterous are: -           Unruly -           Noisy -           Mischievous -           Loud -           Bouncy -           Unrestrained -           Wild -           Rowdy        These words gave me the idea of using balloons as my subject matter because they are all of those things. To me boisterous people make me feel intimidated. It is something I want to be but I'm not.        I then tried doing some videos and stills myself. at the moment I am unsure how to incorporate the word boisterous into...
