Movement

Movement

Definition 
Freeze frame = an optical effect or technique in which a single frame of film is reprinted in a continuous series, which when shown gives the effect of a still photograph. 2. a button or other mechanism on a projector, videocassette system, etc., allowing one to stop the projected picture at any point. Origin of freeze frame.
Motion blur is the apparent streaking of rapidly moving objects in a still image or a sequence of images such as a movie or animation. It results when the image being recorded changes during the recording of a single exposure, either due to rapid movement or long exposure.






















Research
Ernst Haas is an early innovator of colour photography. He frequently employed technique like shallow depth of field, selective focus and blurred motion to create evocative, metaphorical works to capture movement.


The above images are of people and cars moving. The last picture of the busy road is my favourite as they is so much going on. It has helped me as I was unsure of what to photograph when I first saw this topic.Haas has inspired me to use motion blur to capture peoples movement.
Image Bank





This above collection of photographs that represent some of the images that I felt I could capture. 

(AO:1.  You must ensure that several of the visual ideas/inspirations within the image bank are pursued. )

Best Images


















Images that require improvement. 





I tried to take photos of cars as they moved similar to Haas' photo of the race cars but this didn't work. On a second try I would move close to the cars, I could also do this at night which would capture the movement of light.

The aperture setting is to low in this image making it to bright to clearly see the image. If I were to reshoot I would make it higher.

AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress.

For movement I wanted to capture peoples moving. I was inspired by Ernst Haas' images. Most of the images tuned out as I expected. 

With reference to the best selected images

The people are near the camera so they are taking up most of the image compared to some of the over images. This is good as you don't focus on the background.  Using photoshop I'll make the colour more vibrant to make the movement standout

This photo has captured her face moving. This was done by spinning Phoebe on her chair. This image  makes the viewer feel uncomfortable because of her angry expression, and curious as to whats happening which was my intention. 

The image has court the movement of arm move. This image is a good example of motion blur. It not as creepy as the last but still draws the viewers attention as its odd, fulfilling the purpose of the image.

AO2Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops.

There images were taken on a Nikon camera. The settings are as follows F:22, IOS100 and 1/2 shutter speed. The aperture is high to capture the movement appose to a low one were the people will be clear.
















I changed the hue, saturation and lightness. To make the movement standout



Above shows how I changed it. To do use this, I used the hue/saturation/lightness tool adjusting the colour sliders to get the desired hard contrast effect.

AO1: Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding.

The artist research was helpful as I realised what I could do with movement.  My research of Ernst Haas helped me to get an idea of how to approach this topic.

I believe that I have produced a decent series of images inspired by the images of Ernst Haas The final images produced were refined by developing the contrast.


AO4: Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements. 


I believe I have created a strong series of images inspired by Ernst Haas. The final images were adjusted.
