Final Video

For my Final Video Story, I decided to advance upon my concept of “Personal Art Journey” again through the use of what I had already used and what I could also incorporate to further the viewer’s understanding of what I had personally accomplished to provide an instance of my actual art.

My opening shot is on the Fine Arts Center itself, with numerous students walking past and towards the building. I initially had no real idea of what I wanted to make of my Art Journey for this project, so I hoped taking long shots of the place where I currently did art would help resolve my problem. In the end, it did. After I took the Fine Arts Center video, and a few hours passed, I also took the Studio video actually showing some of my art and others’ art as well. From these two videos I began piecing together what I wanted my project to be about: The Place and Process.

From that concept, I formed the idea to also take photos of my sketch books and the daily ‘observations’ I have written and drawn in there. As part of my Sculpture class, it is mandatory we take daily observations, so incorporating the photos of my books is a simple way to implement them without drawing to much focus to my class. The photos I took demonstrate the beginning of the process for my art, where I need to think my ideas through before I can actually begin putting together the piece. They also show a few different ways an idea can be thought through; the first being a variety of projects without any connection or instructions, the second showing the true process of changing something from plaster to metal, and the third, mainly illustrations of one object(a ufo) with many different types of styles to consider. All three pictures come together to show just how flexible art can be with how you approach it as a medium.

I also, from my feedback, chose to use more photos of my own personal works to finish off the video. Additionally, I added some Copyright free music to the background to give the video just a little audio to keep the viewer’s attention.
