Georgeanne Casper: Week 5 Analysis

1.) What themes or concerns are you responding to?
      I decided to respond to the prompt with Ariel Goldberg as my inspiration. Even thought Goldberg's photos had more of a hidden meaning, or rather a broad spectrum of ideas, I tried to go along with that but with a much more pinpointed topic. My topic being "Where the magic happens."
I took pretty generic photos to really get my point across.

2.) What are the materials and processes you used to formulate your response? Why these?
      The materials I used where my iPhone, iMovie, and my apartment. My thought process behind this video was to project the internal/external meanings of my apartment on Cook Campus. As seen in the video, most pictures are black and white, however some are in color. The black and white photos represent what any guest, or college student would observe in front of their eyes. However, the colored photos are places in college where creativity is really sparked. For example, my house mate was studying on the couch, getting her focus in check for the classes she is interested/invested in. I also put things like my make-up, my desk, and my kitchen in color as well. The desk obviously representing where most work is done, the kitchen where I have seen many others as well as myself get creative. Makeup is another place where one can let their creativity loose in a more artistic way.

3.) Limitations? What did they allow?
     Since I used iMovie to edit my video, there were really not many limitations. There is such a wide range of creativity that can come from iMovie. 10/10 would recommend.

4.) What choices did you make?
      As stated before I made the choice to either have a picture in color or black and white to symbolize where my mind mostly expands in my simple Rutgers apartment. What may seem like a simple stove, couch, or desk really stands for a place much more meaningful than that.

5.) What did you learn through this response?
      Believe it or not I actually learned how aesthetically pleasing my place looks and how to work with simple, simple, simple camera angles.
