Week 13 Final

PIM P4 V2 from Little Noir Space on Vimeo.

From our chosen case study, # Selfie #NoFilter by Patrick Kelly, we identified the affordance of interaction as we felt that a selfie when shared online allowed for interaction between people.

The Week 13 Final is a piece of a guinea pig eating grass and its reaction to the person feeding it. It was shot in slow motion on an iPhone 6 Plus, and edited on Adobe Premiere and Adobe Photoshop. The guinea pig is framed inside an iPhone 6 Plus due to the idea that the mobile phone is part of the body like our eyes and mouth that we use to see, communicate and interact with others. The piece starts off with the guinea pig changing colours. The colours were manipulated to give an Andy Warhol pop art feel to it. This was done deliberately to give the idea that the mobile phone along with a range of editing and social media apps allowed for a colourful portrayal of life. Other than that, the duration of certain sections were also increased and decreased to emphasize on interesting parts of the footage. The mobile phone allowed the capturing of moments, the editing apps allowed for the manipulation of the moments to create something more interesting, and the social media apps allowed for the sharing of the moments with others as a form of interaction through the virtual world where there is a difference between online and reality. The guinea pig was also shot in slow motion to capture moments that people would otherwise not notice in normal motion. The inspiration for this came from Sketch 17 (https://littlenoirspace.wordpress.com/2015/08/30/sketch-17/).

Week 11 Draft

PIM P4 V1 from Little Noir Space on Vimeo.

From our chosen case study, # Selfie #NoFilter by Patrick Kelly, we identified the affordance of interaction as we felt that a selfie when shared online allowed for interaction between people.

With regards to Project 4, I initially wanted to film a timelapse of someone having breakfast through an iphone with the dish being served in the form of a photograph on an iphone, but when the person starts eating, it becomes real food. It would first start off really up close to the food and then out onto the whole dish on a plate. This was from the idea that the phone eats first. I started filming people having breakfast, but found it very hard to coordinate and was not very happy with the result. Therefore, I shifted to filming timelapse of animals eating.

The Week 11 Draft is a piece of someone having breakfast and a cat having something to eat. It was shot in timelapse on an iPhone 6 Plus and edited on Adobe Premiere to repeat and reverse their actions, and zoom in and out. The inspiration for this came from Sketch 15 (https://littlenoirspace.wordpress.com/2015/08/30/sketch-15/). With the timelapse, I found that a few minutes worth of filming were shown very quickly in a few seconds. It was a little too fast in my opinion and I decided to play with the slow motion function instead.

Sketch 18

Flowers from Little Noir Space on Vimeo.

From our chosen case study, #Selfie #NoFilter by Patrick Kelly, we identified the affordance of interaction as we felt that a selfie when shared online allowed for interaction between people.

Sketch 18 is a piece of flowers getting in and out of focus. In this sketch, I wanted to show how things can be shown or represented differently to others. I wanted to show the idea of how the same thing, in this case the flower, can be presented in a certain way, in this case in and out of focus, to others. When interacting with others in person or online, there are a number of ways people can present themselves. How someone is presented online may not necessarily be the way they are in real life. Things are shared online to allow for interaction between people. However, those things may have been presented in a certain way for a certain kind of reaction from others.

Sketch 18 was filmed outside during the day. It was very windy and therefore a little hard to get this shot as the flowers were being blown around by the wind. I stayed there for quite awhile and managed to get this shot when the wind wasn’t as strong. I really liked this shot as I thought it looked nice and was able to show what I wanted to say about the way things can be presented to others for a certain reaction.

Sketch 17

Water Fountain from Little Noir Space on Vimeo.

From our chosen case study, #Selfie #NoFilter by Patrick Kelly, we identified the affordance of interaction as we felt that a selfie when shared online allowed for interaction between people.

Sketch 17 is a slow motion piece of a water fountain. In this sketch, I wanted to show the interaction between two things, and those two things were the water and pressure. I wanted to show the way in which the water reacted to pressure. The sketch of the water flying through the air started out in normal motion and then changed to slow motion. In the normal motion, the water looked as though it was bing forced out. However, the water looked as though it was leaping gracefully in slow motion. The difference in motion changed the way in which the water is seen to react to pressure.

Sketch 17 was filmed inside. It was relatively dark and therefore a little hard to get good shots. However, I managed to solve that problem by finding a side of the water fountain that was a little brighter. The water moved very fast, and I thought it would be a good idea to film it in slow motion just to see how it turned out. I really liked it as I thought it showed two very different reactions from the water towards the pressure.

Sketch 16

Palm Tree from Little Noir Space on Vimeo.

From our chosen case study, #Selfie #NoFilter by Patrick Kelly, we identified the affordance of interaction as we felt that a selfie when shared online allowed for interaction between people.

Sketch 16 is a piece of a palm tree. In this sketch, I wanted to show how things can be shown or represented from a different point of view to others. I wanted to show the idea that when people use social media to interact, they are presenting something from a point of view and that they are showing something in a specific way for a certain kind of reaction.

Sketch 16 was filmed outside during the day. It was cloudy but bright enough to get a clear shot. I just walked around the palm tree to film this. I really liked this shot as I thought it looked nice and was able to show what I wanted to say about the way things can be presented to others for a certain reaction.

Sketch 15

Sculpture from Little Noir Space on Vimeo.

From our chosen case study, #Selfie #NoFilter by Patrick Kelly, we identified the affordance of interaction as we felt that a selfie when shared online allowed for interaction between people.

Sketch 15 is a piece of a sculpture of a bird and trees. In this sketch, I wanted to show how things can be shown or represented differently to others. I wanted to show the idea of how the same thing, in this case the sculpture, can be presented in a certain way, in this case as dark and a little scary, to others. However, the sculpture is not as dark and scary during the daytime. In fact, it is quite nice and not scary at all when seen during the day. When interacting with others in person or online, there are a number of ways people can present themselves. How someone is presented online may not necessarily be the way they are in real life. Things are shared online to allow for interaction between people. However, those things may have been presented in a certain way for a certain kind of reaction from others.

Sketch 15 was filmed outside at night. It was very dark, cold and windy on that night. Therefore, I filmed this shot relatively quickly before going into a building to review what I have just shot. I really liked how it turned out as I thought it was able to show what I wanted to say about the way things can be presented to others for a certain reaction.

Sketch 14

Shadows from Little Noir Space on Vimeo.

From our chosen case study, #Selfie #NoFilter by Patrick Kelly, we identified the affordance of interaction as we felt that a selfie when shared online allowed for interaction between people.

Sketch 14 is a piece of people walking and their shadows. In this piece, there were people walking around and as they were walking their shadows would appear and disappear as they walk pass the lights. In this sketch, I wanted to show the interaction of two friends as they walk and talk. I also wanted to show the interaction between the people and the lights, which results in shadows appearing and disappearing as they walk towards and away from the lights.

Sketch 14 was filmed at night on a weekend. It was relatively dark and busy outside. Therefore, it was a little hard to film this as there were lots of people walking by. However, I managed to get this shot in a quieter lane, away from the crowd. I really liked how it turned out. The lights were just right, not too bright and not too dark.

Sketch 13

Chopsticks from Little Noir Space on Vimeo.

From our chosen case study, #Selfie #NoFilter by Patrick Kelly, we identified the affordance of interaction as we felt that a selfie when shared online allowed for interaction between people.

Sketch 13 is a piece of people having dinner. In this piece, they were using chopsticks to eat. In this sketch, I wanted to show the interaction between those people during the dinner. They were eating and talking to each other. I also wanted to show the reaction of the chopsticks when pressure is applied. It gets hold of food.

Sketch 13 was filmed inside a restaurant during dinnertime. Therefore, it was relatively easy to get good shots. The only thing that I had to be careful was not to drop my phone onto the dirty plate in front of me.

Sketch 12

Coffee Beans from Little Noir Space on Vimeo.

From our chosen case study, #Selfie #NoFilter by Patrick Kelly, we identified the affordance of interaction as we felt that a selfie when shared online allowed for interaction between people.

Sketch 12 is a piece of someone buying coffee beans. In this piece, no one’s face is shown. Instead, only the hands and fingers of the customer and the staff were shown to be pointing and taking the bag of coffee beans. In this sketch, I wanted to try something new and show the interaction between people without showing their faces, which shows the importance of verbal communication and body language when interacting with others.

Sketch 12 was filmed indoor during the daytime. It was relatively bright and easy to film. The only thing that I had to look out for were people and their hot cups of coffee.

Sketch 11

Van from Little Noir Space on Vimeo.

From our chosen case study, #Selfie #NoFilter by Patrick Kelly, we identified the affordance of interaction as we felt that a selfie when shared online allowed for interaction between people.

Sketch 11 is a piece of people moving away as a van approaches. In this piece, the people were crowding around a shoe store and when a van was about to turn into the lane all the people moved away before moving back when the van had left. In this sketch, I wanted to show how the people reacted to the moving van. They were reacting to the moving van by moving away and back after it had left, that was their interaction.

Sketch 11 was filmed outside during daytime. It was very crowded on that day, and I was only able to get this shot after a few attempts as people were walking around and in front of me as I was filming this.
