Photographing our work in different environments was a good exercise as we could see how it looked in different lighting and positions. Also against different background and how it stood out, even though our work was made out of paper or card you could still really see how the piece would fit and gave you and idea on how it would look if it was made out of other materials.



On the last day of fashion, we had to incorporate our designs we created in previous exercises into this final piece of work, we had to focus on a certain area of the body and create a piece that would fit well around that area, my design was a piece of clothing that sat over your clothes and that would rest on your shoulders. I wanted it to look quite higher fashion so i used straight clean cut lines but also keeping to my reflective andsymmetrical  style, i also included a my small designs i had created previously in the week. 



After working with a range of other peoples we were then allowed to work with our own designs with no limitations. 




In this task we were not allowed to work with our own desings to start off with, we had to roatate around other students work and focus on a specific area or description such as the nevk area or making somthing that was more loud than elegant, working with other peoples work was a good exercise as it allowed us to use a range of desings insted of the ones we had been working with previousley, we were also a lot less carefully with other peoples as we went straight in with the task with fresh ideas. 


Fashion

Our fast task in fashion was to create five small textured designs that would later on be used to create a much larger peice of work. We had to make the designs interesting but at the same time keep it quite simple as we had to make twenty lager versions, my most successfull design was almost two designs as i was focused on the idea of reflection and symertry, this made it a lot harder to create larger designs but in the end looked and worked well. I also didnt want them to be 2D and flat so i layerd different sections, this improved the asthetics of the design massivley as it wasnt just a flat peice of paper. 

Lens based media: short story board

For this brief we had to create our own 6 frame story board, within this story board there had to be a problem and them problem being solved to retain the equalibrium, it was challenging fitting it into a small amount of frames but it got you thinking about how important the structure is and what frames to include and what frames to exclude. 


Lens based media

Our first task in lens based media was to get some random character ideas down for our story board we was going to create, after this as a team we chose one stand out character that we had to build a short 6 frame story out of, this was just to get us into the thought processes of the story board and get us thinking about the structure of the story.
