Freedom and Liberty: Final Piece and Evaluation

I think to improve this piece I could:

• Include a wider variety of cleaning and organisational skills
• Cut the editing so that towards 'the cut' that the editing becomes more fast paced and quicker cuts to build tension - showing a build up of the character's life and the pressure of cleaning 
• Colouring - make it darker 
• actually build a string to control the puppet OR animate in string 
• foley sound 
• include a voiceover or the poem that originally inspired the short film
• More theatrics? vignette?

I explained that my idea for the framing was based around that I wanted there to be a 4th wall, similar to how puppet shows are constructed, to take this further I could create an actual puppet show and build a set. 

What worked well:

• Music - mechanical/ robotic like - presents character as robotic housewife almost
• Concept - was a clear idea
• performance
• 4th wall - set up of cinematography and mise en scene

The Punk Singer

I enjoyed this documentary as the topic of feminism felt more relevant to my generation, as we are still dealing with issues of feminism.

What I learned:

1. Put my own feelings and what I want to say into my work
2. Involve issues into my work that effect me
3. Look into politics and movements for inspiration for my work

Jean Michel Basquiat--The Radiant Child

Didn't really enjoy this documentary, I don't think that I relate to abstract art well.

What I learned:

1. Experiment with everything, there are happy mistakes
2. Take inspiration from EVERYTHING, books, music, etc. 
3. Make references to other artists in your own work

Derek

how would you like to be remembered - evaporate?

What I learned:

1. Take life experiences and emotions and put it into work
2. Surround myself physically with work that inspires me
3. Make work about politics and current topics that affect me.
