Task 4 Final project Reflection

In task three, I picked up some photography and film one video on the night to explore the how the light changed on the night. So for the next division, I am going to film the time-lapse video to obviously show the light effects. But after the presentation, I got feedbacks from three teachers. They told me the time-lapse would show off more about the movement, it will be departing the topic that I explored at first. To be honest, I didn’t have ant idea for my final project when I got these responses because I have already make a whole plan for it. I was confused one week until I replay the record. I noticed one of the teachers said one word-movement. That is inspired me to rethink the final project and an idea comes up to my mind. That is how the light movement influence on the photography. But there is a point should be clear that how to ultimate present the light movement so that the audience could obviously notice the point through the photography. Different people have different perspective to observe this world, so the picture as well. When I picked up the first picture and share it with my friends. I got the feedback that is object movement and the light. That didn’t meet my expectation, I want to put these two elements together. So I take the photo again, this time I used long exposure (20s) of each photo. Then I got the last work which is a combination with light and movement.

We can obviously see the traces of light from the photos. The advantage of long exposure is to completely overlook the objects and ultimately capture the light of night so that people could draw attention to one point. I picked up two different types photos, one is original, another is long exposure. So these photos could make contrast to show what is the appeared and disappeared. That will let the people engage in it and to notice details that never noticed before.

The final project has concentrate on noticing because the three locations that I chose to picked up are places that we have passed by everyday. We might have seen it, but we didn’t use it to for a media production. I use the technical to take these photos, make the audience directly see the light movement. In addition, the light movement could bring a kind of mystery to photo. From another point of view, this also meet the subject of the course – seeing the unseen.
