Montage-it Workshop 3 Week 3

Reworked Montages:
- Atmospheric:

 Using an existing atmospheric image, I reworked it to my needs. I emphasised the colours in the sky which I felt would be effective in juxtaposing with the monotone colour of my model. By using a rainbow palette, I further accentuated the whimsical and fantastical aspects of this environment.

I chose to use an internal shot to pronounce the vast dimension of the internal spaces. The external space is heavilly accented by the extreme extended shot of the mountanous terrain.

The final product:

I converted the ceiling and right wall into glass and created a reflective effect to add realism. Also, the addition of  shadows add a realistic element and depth to the picture. I chose a stony texture for the left wall and floor, complimenting the ancient and  archaic mountain seen through the glass in the distance.

I also used furniture in the internal shot to help convey the fact that it was a living space. 

The individual elements such as the added texture in the walls and furniture helps to convey an extremely atmospheric picture.

- Site Montage:

Following the park site shot from the previous week, I felt that the final shot works extremely well in integrating the model in a realistic manner, through the use of shadows of the building on the ground and also the shadows of tree branches on the model.

Perhaps a human scale would have provided the picture with more context, however, I felt that leaving the montage uncluttered better conveyed the subtle but jarring juxtaposition between the artificial feel of a human manufactured  model and the natural context of the park with its organic colours.

Flipbook:

I reworked and improved on the previous attempt at constructing a flipbook through adding colour to increase continuity through the flipbook. 

Colour and pattern also acts as a motif throughout the flipbook:

The oragami paper acts as a lead, luring the eye in with the various use of colours (red, orange, yellow, blue, green) leading the observer through the journey into the model.

The layering of information on the flipbook acts both on a physical level and a conceptual level. The use of the oragami paper alludes to the flipbook being 'paper' art.
