Final major project

So I have finished my final major project and this is the outcome. It has been a fantastic journey and I have managed to create something that I am proud of. I have created a book that has been highly influenced by the photographers that I have researched but also influenced by my curiosity to explore this way of working. I feel that the book is concise and to the point which is what I was aiming for.

Isolation ‘’ Major Project 2′’

Project Synopsis

What I wanted to represent in my video is that no matter what happened and is still happening in our world I want everyone to just, time to time Isolate from it.

I understand that sometimes it might be difficult to take in such information as I'm showing it in my video, those kind of news are really disturbing. My aim here is to tell people that no matter what things happen and they will be happening and sometimes we cannot prevent them, so I don't want people to focus on the negative. I want them to try to isolate from them I'm not telling about forgetting them, I'm trying to say that I want them to take a moment and thing about the positive things.

My major project 2 video relates to my Major project 1, I wanted to connect the Water and Mother Earth as keepers.

Earth is been here before us humans appeared here, therefore I want to represent her as pure and as an example of life moving and changing always.

On my footage you can see a bath full of flowers, this was my representation of earth and on how beautiful it is. But then you can hear at the same time major events that have happened, events that are disturbing and unpleasant to us, however at the end you can see how the camera goes from above the water and moves under the water. This movement represents the act of isolation by diving under the water and having all of the disturbances above us. I've added as a background sounds of whales under the sea, as a meditation sound.

The main Inspiration came to me from my video of year 2 Wall/Screen/Page module, I made a video called A Dream Of Life. Which was about mainly meditation and achievement of your own dreams and try to do everything you can to make it happen. Later on I took it forward into the Major project 1 video, I wanted to go with a similar idea but not the same thing. I decided to make a video that would represent Water/Sea as a keeper, a keeper of everything as it has been here for decades. I shot a still moving image of the sea coast line and at the same time added on top of it major events that happened and had made an accent or change on our lives.

Major project 2 is similar to the previous one with the idea of whater as a keeper of all events. In this video I wanted to tell people that all those horrible events that had happened and are still happening and horrible and sometimes it’s not under our control to prevent them from happening. Therefore I want you to take a moment time to time and appreciate what you have and try to isolate from all the bad things and events that have been happening nowadays.
