Project 1 Self-Reflection:
For my initial ideas, I wanted to summarize three of my major feelings at this moment of my life: urgent, determining, and positive. Then I thought about how to express these feelings with my passages. Eventually I developed a plan for layering words and drawings for each artwork.
Project 2 Self-Reflection:
For my initial ideas, I wanted to emphasize the characteristics of nature: the wind, flowers, sound of lifes. While I was shooting the video, I started to pay attention to the shadows, sunlights and composition of the video. I wanted everything to be randomly captured, to reflect different moments of nature.
Project 3 Self-Reflection:
For my initial ideas, I wanted to use background to reflect my thoughts and feelings. Then I thought about making my room a shelter and a traveling ship to the background places, to express the relationship between me and my room. Eventually I developed a plan for lighting effects, and my action shots of crossing different dimensions of my emotions.
Project 4 Self-Reflection:
For my initial ideas, I wanted to express the creativity of Chinese characters. They are meant to be visualized! I chose the adverb ‘Immediately’ because it has a very hieroglyphic meaning from its composing characters. Then, I started to think about how to portray it through Chinese Calligraphy, from ancient to modern
Project 5 Self-Reflection:
For my initial ideas, I wanted to write a story about how strong a mom can be. I drew down each scene in my sketchbook and thought about what scenes I should be creating. I also decided the timing for each scene so the pace would be balanced out. I also thought about the atmosphere of each sense and how they should be drawn in order to create the atmosphere of the story.
