The reason i put my Exhibition Space in my house was because it felt more of a comfortable enviroment to the people i had to watch, also i knew where everything was and how everything worked, plus my two friends that watched the video know most stuff in my house because they had been round so many times.
I thought the space was a good place to put it because it was in a nice area with comfortable seats a big tv to show it off and also it was easier to take pictures because it was more spread out.
If i had to choose a different place it would of been a place in the college such as the radio suite or one of the rooms.

Evaluation
I had produced a video which wasn't the same as my story board at first because it was too complicated to record from game play from an Xbox, The picture would have been bad quality and not clear enough. So i stuck with a different idea to do a plain video of general football tricks but make it with loads of editing it still had the theme of the story board just not having tricks from the game play of Fifa. There was never really any concept based in my video it was more craft driven.
The video was just based on something i was interested in, i thought of the idea from the use of hobbies i was into, such as football by using the football tricks not just a match of end to end stuff. I wanted to do football tricks because Ive always liked the way footballers on a pitch can be so fluent with them and just make them look so simple. Making this video wasn't to show i was good or bad at doing football tricks it was just because of the interest i have in football and the tricks.
I think my video went well depending on the time i had to do it and edit it because of my slow start finishing off my paper work, but after finishing the video i was happy with the final piece that i had produced.
Things that well and went badly. Things that went well were that the video actually worked in the end after lot of consideration and ideas to choose from. After changing the video idea i thought it was going to go wrong but it happened it was easier than i thought compared to the last idea i had in mind mine was too hard to do and would of taken alot longer than id thought. If i could of done the video i produced at first i would of but i didn't have the time or technology to help the game play of Fifa show clearer.
Things that went bad, there wasn't anything that bad that happened apart from the rain stopping me from doing an end trick that i would of shown but the football kept slipping off my boots so i couldn't put that in. But everything else was fine.

November 9th - Today was when i had to bring my camera back into college, i had done some of my footage but parts needed to be edited and tweaked other why's the video is not going to work out properly. I wasnt very happy with what i did over the weekend so throughout the week i am going to need to work hard and finish it off completely.
November 10th - I was taking a camera out again, to record the footage to complete that part of it. with the weather not being too good i still found a way to record the video and just recorded before a storm happened which was lucky.
November 11th - Filming of the video was done. and cracking on with editing was what i had to do now also getting my video on to the the computer too.

Everything Turns - Max Hattler
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/filmnetwork/A30031048
This is an experimental video which is a stop frame animation piece. It was made in 2004, it is a non dialogue piece and it is 1 minute long.
The concept of this video is that life makes your head spin, and before you know it, it's over. It is just about life and death. And anything that can happen can end it.
The video was inspired by Durs Grubein's poem Vertigo
Motto: "Unrelenting Bleakness" which means dazed and confused.

Eulogy for things left unsaid - Rob Chiu
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/filmnetwork/A46701650This experimental video is an emotional piece about the lose of something, reminiscing, regretting, the life you never lived and emptyness.
The concept of this video is what you did when you were younger as now that you are older you cannot go back to the places you've played, been to or what you use to call home. Everything has changed and all the regrets you had have changed and are now all in the past but you cannot forget.
Muto - Blu
http://www.blublu.org/Muto by Blu was made in 2006 it is a stop frame animation piece of work, it is a piece of street animation created by Graffiti. The use of stop frame gives the piece more of an effect as it flows well together.
The concept of the piece is the stages of life and death together and reincarnation. It shows this by moving images coming out of older drawings which are left on there and it shows how they can use each piece of the work to give an effect on the concept itself.
Khoda - Reza Dolatabadi
Khoda by Reza Dolatabadi is an emotional experimental video which is a piece of stop frame animation which has used over 6000 paintings which was created over a two year period just for a 5 minute video.
"Even in the mind, is escape ever possible?" - This is the motto for the piece of video which tells the story. The concept of the video is that a man is stuck in prison but wants to escape but the only way he can escape is by using his mind and believing he can.

Chapter Six
When people look at a piece of art, every person that See's it all have a different reaction to it because they see it in different ways depending if they like the look of it. Different reactions can vary from people seeing it in a good way and looking at it and analysing it. But with other reactions it can depend on the mood of the person because you could look at it then be bored after 60 seconds and move onto another piece.
If the art was placed in a different place rather than a gallery such as the Tate Modern and it was in a place such as Tesco's it would not attracted people like a normal gallery would, also if it was in tesco's the reaction would be that the piece of art is in a weird place, or shouldnt even be there because its in a shopping store.
A reaction to a piece of does matter because people that see it in a good way will say to people that enjoying seeing art that it is a piece worth going to look at which like promotes the piece to earn more reputation in the art world.
I think that it is important that the audience have one interpretation because it shows that people see in art in a different way to others. If everyone had the same interpretation it wouldnt make the art what it is because art is meant to have an effect on different people not just the same effect everytime someone looks at it.

Chapter Two
The use of technology nowadays has increased so much over the past 20 years, because of the use of computers, gaming consoles and video camera's it has increased the ways we create stuff in the world today and how to work things around the globe. Technology years ago was no where near as complex and high tech as it its now.
The use of technology when it was first brought in properly such as computers and high tech camera's in 1980's, Film and Media started to become so much more popular than it was back in the 1930's, when the first revolution of film was ever made. Technology comparing from now to atleast the 1930's is used differently and the way people use it, such as techniques used now are editing, using special effects and adding sounds.
Technology to people back in the 1980's was new because they had never seen a proper computer screen and used it to search the internet, or played on a proper games console with graphics they would of believed amazing. In the 1920's/30's technology also would of been new because seeing a piece of film which they had never seen before would of caught the eye of most people that were in the world at that time.

Chapter Three
In a narrative piece of art there is a more simple structure because you are getting told the beginning, middle and end. The simple structure of a narrative can get quite repetitive because knowing what is going on too much can ruin it for the person who is trying to figure out the plot/story of the piece.
In an Non-Narrative structure it is more complex and knowing what you think about it not what someone is saying about it. The non-narrative structure is different to a normal beginning, middle and end because you don't know when that is you figure it out yourself which makes the art more interesting.
With a Non-Narrative you can just look at it for a minute and see what is happening then move onto the next piece but with a Narrative piece you have to keep watching to know what is happening so sitting there and watching when you could be wanting to see another piece of art.

Chapter One
The Two videos that we watched were Doll Face and Girl Chewing Gum. The two of these videos have different similarities from each other.
Doll Face created by Andy Huang the video showed a blank face with no make up or anything to show it was a normal human which was controlled by a robotic box in a jack in the box style. A tv shows up and shows a face like a normal girl/woman with make up. The robotic doll copies exactly how the television looks. Then the tv moves further back and the robot pushes itself to get that far and it does and copies the face again but with different make up on and has eyes. The last part shows the television which keeps changing channel and the doll trys to reach and copy it but its too far for it to go because the robotic part of it can not move any further so the doll cannot copy what the t.v shows. The doll trys as hard as it can but doesnt succeed and the robotic arm falls to pieces. The video is to show that beauty becomes naturally not what someone else looks like.
Girl Chewing Gum by John Smith is a video which is post narration but you dont know that until the end of the piece of video. This video has alot of craft but hardly no concept because its just a pre-recorded piece of film but he has narrated over it. The craft in the piece is that he says everything at exactly the same time as the people that show on the screen to act as if he is there and knowing exactly hat they are going to do. The context of this piece is that you think he is just speaking to them as a director but then he admites hes 15miles away in a field.

My Experimental Video (Chapter 5)
An idea for my video that i think i will be confident with will be me doing football tricks and mixing tricks from fifa 10 a football game on the xbox 360. This is to show the realism of games and how they make the movement of the players as real as a normal player would.
I got this idea from a video i saw on youtube, where it showed the same thing but using animation to do it not an xbox game. But i think using a game to show the realism will give a message across that technology nowadays has advanced in gaming and film its self.
Most of my idea is from the love of football i have and enjoying football games on the xbox 360, this idea will hopefully give some background view on what i believe have changed nowadays.

Chapter Four
In the Tate Modern art is a big part of it but so is also the exhibition space, this gives more of an effect to the art that is in the gallery. The gallery itself gives the art more of a meaning to be there being in any other place wouldnt give the art its name. If the art was in a shopping mall or in the middle of a field it wouldnt have as much effect as the gallery so each piece of art in the Tate Modern all have a meaning of being there.
Kayaaniqatsi (Life Out Of Balance) 1983
Visual Observations - The visual observations in the movie are images used that are mostly cramped, high angle shots, a use of lots of colours, large skyscrapers and people in areas which are well used such as a subway. It uses shots of older buildings being blown away this gives an effect that newer skyscrapers are being built and the new era of technology is being brought into the world as the film is 1983 this was a time where computers were starting to get very popular and film was becoming alot more easier to do.
Audio Observations - The soundtrack used in Kayaaniqatsi is based for the whole of the film. It makes the film more effective in its own way because everything that shows on the screen goes with the soundtrack. If something is moving fast the soundtrack will too. If the camera work is moving slowly the music will slow down and work with the piece that is showing.

Girl Chewing Gum.1976
In yesterdays lesson we saw 3 video's, which showed different types of craft, context and concept. One of the video's i was most intrested with was Girl Chewing Gum by John Smith. This video was a normal piece of video which had narration over it, it is used to make you think and that he is controlling the set which is being used.
The concept of Girl Chewing Gum is where the narrator is led to fool the audience watching the piece of film. It is used to make you believe that he is controlling the cast which is being used by telling them what to do. By the end of the piece of film he tell the audience watching that he is standing in a field 10 miles away from where the camera is standing. This is a paradox to the audience as they think he is telling them what to do but he is just talking over the recorded piece.
The craft in Girl Chewing Gum is not as higher technology as some of the newest pieces of. Because it is made in the 1970's it is a natural piece of film with no effects just prerecorded narration.
The context in Girl Chewing Gum is that it is set in the 1970's , which is just about how a normal street would work, it is showing people that are just doing there everyday life but with a narrator telling the story. Its works as if people are on a set and John Smith is directing it like a normal director would but he isnt. The plot of the the piece is just showing a day where people keep doing different things.
