Mind Map for installation video

Research installation video artists

An American artist named Douglas Gordon and an actor named James Franco have created a video installation in Pace Gallery in London called Psyco Nacirema, The artists first collaborated on the Rebel constellation, a work presented at the Venice Film Festival, in September 2011 and on Rebel, an exhibition presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles in 2012.


 In these works, Franco acted as a producer for Gordon, while in Psycho Nacirema Gordon has acted as a curator and teacher for Franco. In Psycho Nacirema, James Franco uses the motel structure as both a physical and literal framework, reinterpreting iconic scenes from the original film through  details such as  the infamous shower room where the film character Marion Crane, is murdered. One of Gordon’s most well-known works is 24 Hour Psycho (1993), a projection of Alfred Hitchcock’s famous film slowed down to last an entire day which also sparked inspiration for the exhibition.
James Franco Quotes;  
James Franco Quotes;  CNN company Quoted; “A field in the heart of the English countryside has been transformed into a sea of shimmering light.” 

“Film is the medium that employs all art forms, but it is contained within the screen. We take this multi-form idea and pull it through the screen, so that the different forms are once again fully dimensional and a new nexus of interaction and significance is created. In this show, we go back to the original locations and images of Psycho and alter them so that once again the viewer's relationship with the material changes. One becomes an actor when interacting with this work. Film becomes raw material and is sculpted into new work.” James Franco, May 2013.

One artist  I found most different and fascinating was  Bruce Munro he is an installation artist working in light. He Owns a  three-part company they have an enduring passion for light in all it's forms. They approach the creation of lighting plans for interiors and gardens as an art in itself. They are creating bespoke luminaries, chandeliers and sculptures. But their large scale installations are is their heart and soul, and best express is what they love about light.

Overall, these three artist I chose to talk about was different and looked more at the visual aspect of their video installation. With James Franco acting in Pscyo Nacirema was a highlight of the video installation because Franco is a well know actor, to have an installation video of him here in London in a great way for his fans and himself as we don't get that much of a change to view James Franco work. Other than James Franco's eye catching installation video, you have Bruno Munro who's all about lights which is straight visual and mind blowing type of art which is great because you can walk in to his gallery and feel happiness and bright and good about things because of the effect and care and love he has put in to his video installation which is great artistic work.

Channel Ident Evaluation.

A channel indent is channels ID to show to others that they are watching a channel for example BBC ONE they adverts there channel indent before each show they have to create different indents because they need viewers and a channel indent also in engages the viewers before the show comes on air such as adverts doesn’t engage us more than indents but it also means what target audience there are aiming at.  

This evaluation is regarding a groups project by myself and my group, we made a channel indent from planning, producing and finally finish out creative piece in post-production  For mine and my groups Channel Indent we came up with three different idea's which we story board and mind map to make it in to a unique channel indent and used two of our ideas and emerged it in to one and agreed on the idea of the pupils saying there thoughts about the college because our indent have a target audience for those inside the college from the ages 0f 16-25 are aim was to make this channel indent for those in the college. In our indent we had the ‘Cwc’ sign in clay animation because the ‘Cwc’ stand for the colleges name ‘City of westminters’ that was our channel to make our indent for. Where we made a clay Pac man eat the ‘Cwc’ sign the reason we used Pac man in to a clay animation in our channel indent because it’s a well know game character for those inside our college which would hit out target audience.  We also got the pupils in photo animation where have word bubbles of what they think of the college coming out of there animated mouth. The Channel Indent was successful as it came out as how we planned it in our pre-production work from out mind minds to story broads and group meetings.  

Photography Video

Audio Pitch to magazine

My photos are appropriate material for Timeout magazine for tourists visiting London. My photos included rules of thirds. This technique was particularly effective in my first photo because it gave the image depth and allowed me to focus on just one part of the scene. In my other photos, I used framing to incorporate several elements of the scene into one image. In the second image I was able to incorporate the trees, the O2 arena and the buses.

In the third image, I attempted to give the viewer an active experience of the tube station by focusing on the information displayed digitally under the tube sign. I felt that this was successful because the image came out on as I had planned and envisioned. The fourth image I took was because it was the first view of the 02 arena when you walk out of North Greenwich station. I was trying to take the viewer on a stage by stage visual journey around the area of North Greenwich. In the fifth and sixth images, I decided to take a photo of Ravensbourne University because I thought it was am innovative example of London architecture and design, particularly as it is an educational institution that specialises in creative digital design.

In the seventh and eighth images, I tried to portray the beauty of London at night. I wanted to include the River Thames and the 02 arena as they are iconic London landmarks. I decided to take the photos at night because of the unique vibrant effect of the city lights. I particularly liked the way the lights bounced off the river. The ninth and tenth image was focused on a historical building in Woolwich where they have a projection on the building of the words 'Royal Borough of Greenwich'. I chose to take a of photo of the projection because it has only been recently introduced. My last image is a full view of Woolwich Common incorporating the tall Nightingale building. Wherever you are in the area you will always see this tall building.  It is a very famous and eye catching piece of architecture.

All my images try to tell a story of South East London. It is an area which is very attractive to tourists who flock to see it both at night and during the day. The images take the viewer on a visual journey traveling around the area. I tried to capture the beauty of the landscape. The feedback I got from my classmates was that the progression from my mood board to my photographs was very clear and demonstrated that I had taken effective inspiration from my research. They thought that I should be very proud of the final images.
