Digital Media: Final Proposal

For this assignment we have to create a work of art using both a digital media and traditional artistic media.

For my final assignment I want to combine painting and/or drawing with digital imagery.  I thought it would be cool to have a digitally created image and leave blank spaces that I will fill in with a combination of paint, marker, pencil, or charcoal.

I want to have digital images of flowers or nature elements and then draw or paint in a human figure. I want it to be illustrative and vibrant. I am also considering adding 3D or cut paper elements to the final image as well.

I haven’t committed to this idea, but I think this is the direction I want to go in for this assignment.

 

Digital Media: Postcard Assignment (Part 2)

In addition to our original post for this assignment we were required to post images of our altered postcard(s).

We were required to send one of the postcards in the mail and give the other to a student in a different Digital Media class taught by our professor.

Below are the images of the altered postcard:

The top two photographs are of the mailed postcard and the bottom two are from an unknown student in another class.

Digital Media: Human Movement

For this assignment we had to film a 1-2 minute video that shows human movement.

For my video I chose to film three of my nieces playing outside.  I wanted it to be very playful and happy.  I also wanted it to be silent, with a single song playing throughout the whole video.  I deleted the audio from each clip and replaced it all with a “cheery” instrumental song.  I think I was able to film footage that reflected this idea. I was also able to find a song that fit my video perfectly.

Digital Media: Human Movement Proposal

I really want to take a different approach from the other videos I’ve seen for this project. I want to do something fun and quite possibly silly. I thought it would be cool to film something with my nieces and nephews. I’m thinking of the title “Through the Eyes of a Child”. I want to film everything as if I were a child going through daily child-like activities. I might throw in some stop animation too. I am also considering treating the footage as a silent film with playful music playing throughout the video.

 

 

Digital Media: In-Class Video

For this assignment we had to film at least 12 video clips that were a minimum of 20 seconds in length. The clips could tell a story or be completely unrelated.

At the beginning of class, we were asked to draw the name of another classmate. We then received the footage of that person and had to edit their footage instead of our own.

I drew Ashley Spangler’s name. Her footage wasn’t necessarily related. I chose to tell a story of “a day out”.

Digital Media: 5×5 Video Assignment

For this assignment we had to create a 25 second video using Adobe Premiere Elements. The video had to be made-up of five, 5 second clips showing an artistic process. We were not allowed to use any video or audio editing effects other than cut for the video.

We then had to take that video and create a second video using the same clips and alter them in some way. We were required to edit the footage by modifying each clip using only the speed and/or direction.

For my video I chose to videotape the artistic process of painting.  I had my sister help me out with this. I decided to take videos of the way I go through this process. I wanted each clip to have different audio so I purposefully had no music in some and different songs playing in a few of the clips.

For the second video I just played around with the direction and speed. I tried a few different ways for each clip before I found a combination I was happy with.

I never worked with video before so this was a really fun project to work on.
