When I begin my project, I have to decide what strategies I could use to create my narrative. I went through the micro project I did this semester. I found that I learnt many skills from this course, such as photoshop manipulation, iMove editing and Garageband skills. Why do I use all the skills i learnt to create a project, which can fully reveal the ability I learnt from this couse. Thus, I decide to create a few separate works using different techniques and combine them together as a whole.
The first picture is a map, it clearly shows my travel path from Ohio to Orlando.I use photos to represent each city. These photos are symbol of each city in my opinion. For example, I use Ohio stadium to represent Ohio and the disney world to symbolize Orlando. The photo of the plane not only shows how we travel but also shows which airline company we choose. The second photo shows where we traveled in Orlando, I use photoshop to put these four photos into four round-edge squares. I think this layout clearly shows the places we traveled. The third photo is composed of four photos taken by myself. This is a more personal photo, it shows what we do in previous four photos. I use the style of jigsaw puzzle to express these four photos, as I think our memories are like jigsaw puzzle. When we recall something, what we got is just some separate scene. When we combine these separate scenes together, they become story.
In the fourth image, I use four photos of Disney castle I took in the Disney land when is there is a firework display. I love these photos best, as they are so beautiful. I think they are the best photos I took ever. Actually, it is hard to catch the firework, because the background is dark and the firework moves quick. At first I can't catch them by using the auto mode of camera.The photo I took is like this:
Finally, I adjusted the shutter and the diaphragm of the camera. And I took the photo of the firework successfully. I really like these photos and my friends also tell me these photos are beautiful. I am very proud of myself.
The final piece of work is a video named fire work. I used the photo of fire work I took and the song "Firework" by Katy Perry to make this video. This is denotation. I also add some photos of smelling faces, just like the lyrics says " You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine/ Just own the night like the 4th of July/ Cause baby, you're a firework/ Come on, show em what your're worth.This is connotation. I try to use firework as a metaphor to tell everybody that they are special in their own way, just like how every firework has it's own different shape, color, ect. When I met difficulties, I will watch this video as this video gives me esteem and tells me do not be pessimistic about life. More importantly, this video makes me think of the happy memory.
