Film Review Analysis

Photo Documentary

What is a Photo Documentary?

Photo Documentary captures the essence of everyday life and captures every moment such as memories, people, and historical events. Narrative photography can likewise be utilized in this manner to family ancestry. A few recognizable elements of a Photo Documentary would be the manner by which, not at all like typical news coverage photography, it revolves around the procedure with issues you can see through the different photographs.



Why is it Important to Society?

It's important as it envisages social change and recording history and the full intent of illuminating the general population. In addition, narrative photography journals occasions that need the consideration of a group of people to invigorate or support activity and social change.

There are numerous types of documentaries and I do think photography is documenting, whether or not it is your intention or not, it's still classified as a documentary as you are still recording memories.

A world without photography just doesn't appear to be ok. Photography can in a real sense simplify the view of individuals and change the overall parts of photos on the planet. It moves a large number of millions of individuals and allows individuals to catch each snapshot of their life which is perfect and significant for memories you've had. Photography is craftsmanship and the manner in which you catch everything is significant and truly connotes the significance of mastering various abilities and developing a people's psyche and how they approach life. In photography, there are so many ways you can associate with various individuals because assuming that there's one thing individuals share for all intents and purpose its photography, there's a tremendous scope of ways you can interface with individuals and generally motivational for some. There's a vast range of ways you can connect with people and generally inspirational for many. If you look at examples when photography didn't exist you would think the only way for people to have perceptions and memories of people is in the moment and there would be no other way to capture it which can be difficult to understand and I think we're very lucky to have the best technology and advanced photography.



Eliot Porter = Born6 December 1901, Winnetka, Illinois, United States

Education = Harvard university

Eliot Porter was a photographer who primarily produced the colour of nature. He made multiple photos of vivid images of landscapes and animals. He generally attracted the audience with his colorful detail in photos.

This photo has many colourful elements such the depth of colour shown all around the photo which produces this texture that you can feel with the appearance. The different types of colour used show the detail and show how much the artist values perfection. The pattern used is very minimalist but produces so much colour which fills in the rest of the gap. I really like the photo as it produces many natural elements in the photo and the depth of detail is incredible, during his adventurous career he traveled around the world to take pictures of nature.





Robert Frank = Robert Frank, born November 9, 1924, Zürich, Switzerland

Robert Frank was a Swiss Photographer who made many masterpieces.

He was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century which made his status grow stronger. He is known for his ironic rendering of American life

The photo is very simple and in black and white it makes it more important but gives it less information about the photo and doesn’t tell the audience the full story. The shape used is a rectangle based on the American flag and the windows. The pattern is simple, but the flag has multiple stars to represent the American flag. The texture is quite simple yet brings collective insight into the photo. What I like most about the photo is the simplicity of the design. It doesn’t give too much away and is very sophisticated.

The photo's colours are very bland as it's in black and white. It shows a photo of the people maybe a couple driving in their vehicle. He is well known for his photos of American Life which shows in this photo he took. The texture is very simple but coordinated in the clothes they wear which are black and white.

I really like the photo it shows what the artist wanted to depict which was American Life. I really like the black and white I think it shows more concentration in the photo.



Survey Practice

Making this survey was quite insightful and gave me a lot to think about and to ensure I incorporate in my final project. One of my primary research was based on my survey, Some of the questions asked were what works best for a women's rights project and what colour theme goes well with a website. The demographics was quite interesting and gave me points to include in my own final project. 8 people based on my target audience took part in my survey which became very useful and helpful when designing my own final project, the survey showed me what part to focus/delve on more 











Women's Right - Topic Research

Women's Voting Rights and Why it Matters

The option to cast a ballot is one of the most essential guarantees of our majority rules government. In a vote-based government, each individual is viewed as equivalent and is engaged to both take part in their administration and talk on the issues that relate to their day-to-day routines. Women Voting isn't just about casting your opinion, it's about change and how you can incorporate and reconstruct the way society moves forward.


Freedom Of Movement

A few nations such as, Saudi Arabia have regulations that restrict Women from going out in open except if joined by a male individual from their family, or that disallow them from driving, In my opinion, I think there is a visible lack of freedom in the past and present, although we can see the gradual improvement within many countries changing their laws/approach and amendments to support women in their daily life, which is a huge aspect and a step in the right direction. 

There is a high percentage of women who have voiced their opinions and stated that they have been harassed in broad daylight places. Women also had Separation rules which favoured men, giving no freedoms to Women. Most occupations were shut to Women and when Women took care of business they were paid just a small part, women were denied their fearlessness and self-confidence and were made absolutely reliant upon men



Work Place Discrimination

Women face a huge workspace disparity. This is reflected, for instance, in the elevated degrees of inappropriate behavior and savagery against Women, the 'orientation' pay gap, and separation at work. Statistics state that Men hold a greater chance of holding high-rank positions than Women, which is a disappointing statistic that no one until recently batted an eyelid.

Over the entire course of time, Women battled for their freedoms in the work environment. In the later ages, there were defining moments,, that empowered Women outperform and accomplish the best possible work environment. After 1930-40s, Women began to accomplish more and turned out to be more visible within society and there was a sense of acceptance within society, not so much as a sea change but a gradual improvement.




Past Origins

The cross-country development for upholding Women's democratic privileges was shaped in 1869, primarily by working-class Women. Women were not permitted a portion of the rights of basic freedom such as owning a property, They didn't have the luxury as their male counterparts would have. For example, women couldn't own property, and no Women had the privilege to cast a vote.

Museum of London

Trip Write up

I went to the Museum of London on the 4th March with my class. We went to the Museum for inspiration on our theme which was on "change", I took numerous pictures for our impending photography skills write up. Essentially I had my topic in mind which was on Women's Right and took pictures based on my theme. I did take pictures that was not based on my theme, although can be used for inspiration like the Victorian Walk and the old phone booth and few other design. As we strolled into the historical center I offered to help my peers on their chosen theme and I must say it did give me creative Ideas for my photo documentary.

Inspirational Designer




Graphic Designer

Bob peak

Bob Peak is an American illustrator and film poser designer. 
He is known for some of the best modern poster designs, for example, the modern Blaise poster. What makes his work so exceptional is his capacity to include typography and not neglect the other components of a poster. His style is mostly based on famous film posters and has created numerous poster distinctive designs.

In 1961, Bob Peak was named Artist of the Year by the Graphic Artists. He won eight Awards of Excellence and four gold decorations from the Society of Illustrators, which in 1977 Society of Illustrators drafted him to its Hall of Fame.

His audience really admires his work and I think I fall in that bracket now while researching his career I really enjoyed his work and when designing my own poster I will surely incorporate some components.





Timelines

What is a Timeline? 

Well, essentially a timeline is a showcase of a series of events that can be utilized at any reasonable scale addressing time, fitting the subject and information together. The most important thing when creating a timeline is dates and how you can fit the information at hand with the key dates in history. The reason for a timeline is to show a change in time and it's definitely the simplest when discussing/visualising "change" in history.

Visualising change through Cars



Visualising change through Music



You can also visualise change through bar charts as they have a distinctive pattern obviously with the key points, bar charts tend to stick out more when visualising the change in anything, such as "change" History


Visualing Change through Colours

Also, Colours are a huge part of visualising change, for example, In each season we are literally witnessing/visualising  "change", we are seeing the change/difference in colours, from the sky to the trees and even further to the leaves. Visualising "change" in colours may seem to be overrated, as some people are colour blind and that is fair enough, since there's many ways of visualising change.




Practical Research

My aim for my Practical Research is to include original components and to achieve that I will go to the London Museum and take more inspiration from my college for original imagery. I Will use the Canon mark 3 as the camera quality is second to none and will elevate the pictures to another level.

The software I will use - 

I will use Adobe Premiere Pro and adobe audition to edit my Final Podcast. I will attach my audio recordings to a created timeline which will then lay the foundation for me to add music and jingle.





I will also use a variety of tools, such as the cut tool to trim any unnecessary bits and pieces and polish everything together. The best thing about the cut tool is you can cut and analyse each second and point out what you want with each second and every second.
