Photographing the curtain in situation

For creating a curtain I thought it was crucial for me to document them in situation to demonstrate the working of them as actual net curtains. What I was pleasantly surprised about them was that the light actually bleached the 70% grey, so to the images were not as strong to the visible eye. This was important for me as I wanted the curtains to be a statement through its design, not to rely on the strong bold colour which could be too brash.

Rain on my parade...

So scheduled to film today, at least having some footage to get some more experience in the particular way in which I want to capture the curtains. With the rain in full force I haven't been able to do this.

So with the aim not to have my day wasted I focused on the shots needed and how I would structure the short film around two curtain pieces aka two narratives. The film acts as a digital version of the real life objects.

My project and what I am attempting to convey is already established in the blog to what the net curtains are aiming to represent and the print I created was devised in such away that it itself could speak on its own behalf. So I want the video to be a clean and simple affair of having the camera pan onto the curtains focusing more and more in detail as the movie will go on.

The soundtrack to back it is still undecided.

Having this time free I used as an opportunity to focus simply on capturing the curtains through a way of considering the video as a poster or print. I used this task to look at how the two narratives could be translated and even the visual of what font I may use for the title and etc.

Below are mock up visuals that originally were to be posters but now are the way in which I will create the film piece to possibly become.

NB. The images were created on photoshop with photos I had taken yesterday mixed with the list of proverbs I wanted to include.
