Which One?

Draw by me:)
Hi all! Before choosing what I should do for my final project, I wanted to see which one you are most interested in from my proposal. I am very passionate in all of those things in my proposal that is why I am having a hard time choosing. All the topics can be traced back to Covid and what this pandemic has done to us. Whichever one I end up doing, would spread positive message which is my goal in doing this project. I feel like most of the time, people see media spreading mostly negative messages or resulting to negative things to its consumers. However, when the pandemic happened, I found that different types of media had tried their best to spread positivity all over the world amidst the pandemic. I wanted to use this platform to do just that even though not all people see my final project. In the process, I would be taking a lot of videos, photos, and experimenting with different sounds.

    Yui Niizeki Maehara: I really like your memory lane project. It is always interesting to see someone's past and see how it made them who they are today. Through the medium of film I believe that the mix of sound, visuals, and editing, opens the maker up to so many possibilities. I also think as artists, giving time to reflect on oneself is very valuable.

    You have some great ideas! I'm looking forward to seeing what you end up creating. I agree with Yui the memory lane idea could be a really cool project. I also liked the soundscape project idea as well, it'd be nice to have it connect with your other interests.

    I really like your idea about memory lane, especially I was super moved by that TikTok video you chose! COVID makes everything changed, we should do something to memory past and self-reflect. I cannot wait to see your final project!

Diagram

I’m going, to be honest, I had a hard time coming up with ideas for this week's topic. However, when Lupton stated “...diagrams often function to illuminate and explain complex ideas” (215), I realized that this topic is the most relatable to me especially with this pandemic going on. Disclaimer, I do not mean to be insensitive about other people’s opinions on the current pandemic. My idea for this topic is to show how I thought this pandemic affected me vs how it’s actually affecting me. How Covid affected me is a difficult subject to talk about as I tend to be biased by coming up with “it’s making my life miserable”. Creating a diagram or mapping on how it personally affected me makes it so much easier to see and understand without being biased.  The arrow pointing to the right represents how I thought COVID affected me. When I said I am biased about this subject I meant it. The diagram above evidently shows how it affected me negatively. From COVID resulting to quarantine from q...

Time and Motion

For this week topic, I decided to make a collage to show the movements of the photograph I took two summers ago. As Lupton says  “A motion sequence is developed through a series of storyboards, which convey the main phases and movements of  an animation” (Lupton 233),  so I thought I would use collage as my storyboard.  Short story: Before these action images were taken, the first guy in the photograph challenged our other two friends to jump with him. As shown in the images, they accepted the challenge. However, the guy who challenged the other guys did not jump as he was “afraid” and you can see that at end of my storyboard.  I thought these images would be perfect to relate to the storyboards and animating type that Lupton discussed in the book. In this collage, I had to make sure that I was putting the right images on the right boxes so that timing and motion will match the next image. I did agree when Lupton talked about how slow timing might be a drag for ...

Color

      For this project, I decided to talk about the flag of the Philippines and the flag of the United States. I thought this topic is relatable to the statement that Lupton made "Likewise, color changes meaning from culture to culture. Color carries different connotations in different societies" (Lupton 81). As you can see in the images below, both flags basically used the same colors red and blue which are the primary color, and white. However, since these flags are from two different cultures, the colors acquire different meanings for each of the flags.       For the flag of the Philippines, the blue color represents justice, peace, sacrifice, and truth. The red represents war, courage, and patriotism. White symbolizes fraternity, liberty, and equality. The yellow color symbolic of freedom, unity, sovereignty, and democracy. On the other hand, the blue color that is seen in the flag of the United States represents vigilance, perseverance, and j...
