Production Log #1 (02/05/2017)

Introduction to Brief:

This was the first day we where introduced as a class to the installation unit, we had been told before to try and idea generate ideas for our final pieces. We where given the brief and Debbie and Peter read through the tasks that we would have to complete and gave us the deadline dates. This was good because it gave us an early timescale of when things have to be completed by and what is expected of us.

Introduction to Eight Artists #1:

Today we were introduced to eight artists that we would have to write about one female and one males work, and compare them. In the lesson we looked at two male artists and two female artists, these where Gillian Wearing, Rachel Maclean, Jeff Keen, and Peter Greenaway. We looked into their work, and then wrote notes about them and their work towards modern visual art and exhibitions. This was important to do this so we could get an idea of what artist we would want to chose and helped to idea generate ideas for our exhibitions.

Norman had a very clever and different way of recording the sound in some of his videos, instead of having diegetic or non-diegetic sounds he would scratch into the film itself to get the sound that is known to him. A famous piece that features this type of sound was "Dots", this is also a different piece of art because it doesn't feature any filmed footage. What you see in the video is what Norman McLaren has drawn onto the film itself. Technologies and Techniques: No...

Production Log #2 (09/05/2017) Introduction into Eight Artists #2: We continued and finished the Introduction into the eight artists, we research into Sam Taylor-Wood, Georgina Starr, Steve McQueen, and Norman McLaren. We again made notes on the four artists and at the end of the lesson we chose what artists we would be talking about and comparing. The criteria of who we could chose had to be one male and one female, but also one of them had to be a practitioner before the 20th century and one had to be a practitioner from current day. The artists I have decided to chose are: Male Artist (Current Practice): Steve McQueen Female Artist (Past Practice): Sam-Taylor Wood
