Dealing with Images.

After my look at cycles yesterday, I decided to talk to someone about my ideas and in doing so try to generate something more solid. It became evident to me that I need to think carefully about how I execute the idea and how long it will take me to accomplish.

I looked at a few more Triptych's, and found a comment on one of them that got me thinking.

I found this on a page that wasn't written in very good English, but something I picked up from the article was:

'three images interacting dramatically, thematically, rhythmically, in beautiful ways'

This gave me a pretty good idea of how an audience might respond to a triptych. I already mentioned that I feel the images need to acknowledge each other in some way, and I think this puts it into perspective. Looking at the piece, you can see how things line up, and how you can see different perspectives of the same thing.

Similarly, another one I looked at:

This one in particular focused on the emptiness of a space, the singing in the tunnel was the opening of a new water system, and using the three screens meant you could show many aspects of the emptiness at once, to gain a full understanding of why the singing is so contrasting, and thus making it more powerful. The conjunction of the images creates the meaning as is with editing in general.

Lastly, this one I looked at to try to understand how I could execute an idea digitally, as well as using footage. As this project is so open, I have the option to create something entirely in a digital environment, or by using footage as well. I found that by looking at this piece, I can see how I could create something digitally, yet focusing in on small areas much more to make it more doable in the time I have.

After my look today I want to look more at rhythms and timing, and also I may want to play with colour and style of my piece as well, I want this to be something visually dynamic so that you would be made to stop and look at it, even for a moment.
