I started off brainstorming different aspects that silence can be achieved, some where initial notes made in the lecture when sparked by comments from the tutors but after a good hour I had something to go at.
I then fished through old photographs on my computer that related to the particular theme of silence and others where found images on flickr, quite a broad range of images that with my annotation in my sketchbook will show my thought processes as to how I've got to this point.
I chose my favourites/strongest 5 images to present to Hitch.
Thursday Seminar 10am with Hitch
Firstly we presented our film posters, explaining the reasoning behind our ideas
Hitch asked some interesting questions as to the brief we were actually set.
The reasoning for a logo, is it necessary? Does it limit? A logo for each film? Corporate stamping?
Take the poster further, don't just drop the project, think of the application across the series, reconsider the use of the logo and layout.
Is there a system? Apply the poster to a film you know/like resolve the problem/develop the poster for a finished article for your portfolio.
First Impressions...Of Silence
Everyone in the group had some great interpretations towards the brief and I was reassured that I'd definitely understood the task
These are the images I presented to Hitch
Silence of intrigue, people watching, silence between strangers and building profiles
Twilight, taken from the Hilton Cloud 23 Bar, Day as noisy night as silent... but is it?
Actions speaking louder than words, unwritten laws, the silence of a kiss, a hand hold, a text, the inner thoughts are busy
Escape, finding new places, casting shadows, funny how you notice things when you sit back, taking in the bigger picture
I expressed how with the brief being in two parts at the moment I didn't want my first part to limit my second, which was a issue of the sound and vision project in the second year. Hitch commented that as much as this was a good point to raise he didn't want me to spread myself to thinly across many ideas.
I need to decide as to the direction of my silence response, Hitch liked the Twilight image, of time, space, light/dark. The relationship image as to the inner thought process and the parachute image but felt that a issue/subject such as war is a large subject which with the circumstances could be too personal a subject.
Happy in the know that so far so good, just to get on top of my annotation, develop the initial ideas and by the next seminar have a focused response to show/discuss.
