shadows

since my last blog i have been doing more research into photography and stop motion. i have looked at various photographers and looked at their work in a way of how i would create movement with in this image to create a different effect and emotion.

though one of my time-lapses testers i noticed it captured a shadow moving slowly across the ground.i found this really interesting and effective as it feels calming.. kind of a un-living movement creating silence over the image. i think i might look in to shadows more in a urban.country landscape and the motion of them over the day, capturing this in a stop-motion method.

things to think about...

How do you give a shadow a sound?

the sound of movement?

does silence have a sound but humans can't hear it ?

thinking of a shadow as a thing that mimics the living?

doctor who reference don't stand in the shadows. petter pan - losing his shadow.

different directions different times of the day . ??

hello and welcome to my year three blog. though i would start a new one for this year so that i don't get to mixed up. so this yer i'm still working on the urban landscape and the country. possibly more to the city side as thats where i live. but instead of comparing to home i might compare it to the country side near to manchester as it's not that far..

i have been doing some little experimenting including time lapses and stop motions. i went on top of the Arndale car-park to take some images.i go some good images but after have a hour was told that i was not allowed to take photos up there and go walked out by security.. so that ruined that idea.

i have been working on more little ideas on ground level. capturing the crowd of people in town and the pigeons in stop motion.then working with in istopmotion and final cut pro... from analysing all my little testers i have found that i have captures shadows moving and thought it looked really interesting and effective so now i have been looking in to following shadows around the city and the shapes they create and how they move. i've only just thought of this so have not done such work yet just looking in to various artist and doing more testers.. as now i can concentrat on my praticle work now my essay is going in for the frst draft marking :)
