In class we did a break down of the project into categories of biggest, big and Small things.
Biggest (What would I find out at the end of the project? What do I want to find out? The aim of the project in the broadest sense)
Big (The things I need to do to reach the aim of the project, to find out the things in the biggest category)
Small (Step by Step directions of the doable things including exactly where to start and the materials needed for the project)
Biggest
– I’d like to find out the difference and the relation between intentional and unintentional noticing. At the end of this project i expect to have a record of my process of noticing and the effect it has on media making. I am also interested in whether the order of (media making -> noticing) or (noticing -> media making) has a relative meaning or intension behind it.
On the side I’d also like to personally test my range of perspective on the world how far I can go with it and I’m really curious on where this journey of random noticing would end up.
Big
– Regardless of the medium whether photographing or filming or sound recording capture the object of noticing. Be conscious about whether it was intentional or unintentional noticing and always record the object in its most natural state possible.
Small
– What I need: Device to take media (Possibly my phone or Mirror less Sony a6300)
– On Monday the 26th of September, Look at the last media item taken from my phone
– Notice something from that piece of media and starting from there, take the next media item that you notice in relation to the noticed object of the first media item.
– For example I notice an apple from the very latest photo taken from my phone then I will go out and discover something related to that apple and take a photo/video of that object. Let’s say it was another apple and after examining that media item (photo of the second apple), I notice someone wearing bright sunnies in the background then those sunnies become my next object to notice. The next object from the sunnies
It doesn’t necessarily have to be sunglasses but whatever I notice in relation to the sunnies I apply it to the media process
And I will repeat this process for as many times as possible.
