Exhibition (Production A assignment)
These are the three posts that i feel show my understanding best.
Final Post it is The META post
This is the final post.
During the duration of the course i posted weekly on to this Tumblr blog. First i started to just post about films they i had seen during the week and i rated them. This was completely due to my massive interest in the film industry and the fact that most of my sourse revolves around film. The rest of the content was based on course content and things that i found...
Google maps Geotagging with Flickr
API’s are fantastic i have just finished my assignment using Flickr’s API with Google. admittedly it took me forever to figure out to actually Geo-tag but in the end it turned out to be something so simple. Signing up for a google account was easy and it made geotagging so easy.
I found it very interactive, though could be temperamental at times. It is a very useful tool and i would...
I have changed my mind again
I have changed my mind i am going to go back to my orignal idea of the photographic tour/narative. I have compiled a narrative that involves drugs and illegal activity. i will use google maps to geotag the narrative to fictional events at real places. i will also try to incorporate street view to give a sense of visua sorroundings.
i will have this done by friday fingers crossed.
Production Project B again
I am reposting on this topic because i have changed my idea to the more popular data visualisation path. I have already started to record data on my days i am thinking of doing daily spreadsheet of the stuff that has been happened during my days. There will be an end product of just all the data recorded into one spread sheet.
This will all be recorded and drawn in photoshop in a series of...
Production Project B
As everyone knows our second major assignment is coming up and we have all been asked to think of what we want to do. I have decided to do the photographic tour in a narrative form. I am in the process of making a fictional narrative to which i combine the use of maps and my own pictures to tell a story visually. All of my own pictures will be Geotagged in flickr as to add to the effect and my...
Waltz with Bashir
Yesterday i went for a little outting to my first indie movie ‘walts with bashir’. An isreali animation film that was kind of cross mocumentry /documentry. It was a film about a soldier that served in the lebonese palistinian war and he was starting to remeber the past. to tell you the truth i didn’t quiet get the jist of the film because to be honest i didn’t even now...

Data visualisation
If you were at this weeks lecture or tut es you would have been told about this programme called ‘we feel fine’. This programme searches every blog in the blogosphere, yes including this one and searches for key words to do with feelings. So in a sense it is making our personal life available to be searched on the net. So from anything like I’m feeling depressed and lonely, to...

Th pictures will have an embed code so that when you click on them on Blogger you will be automatically redirected to Flickr.

I have decided to use blogger to create a blog site that will be in turn created into a photography exhibition site. I deciceded to use Blogger becuase it easily accessable, easy to use and has an extensive amount of extra features that other blog sites that i...
Production Project A
At the moment i am trying to figure out a suitable way to “curate an online exhibition”. It has me stumped i can’t seem to figure out a way of getting photographs and short clips, (my chosen medium’s) online appropriately. To just throw things online an sites such as flickr or vimeo seems to be to easy. Though i dont fully understand what the markers are looking for in...
Pineapple Express
When you think of stoner flicks, you immediately relate to a light hearted comedy with a just random funny things placed in for a laugh. At first Pineapple Express had all this and with it came a very thin plot line but that doesn’t matter, its a stoner flick, that’s what you expect. Immediatly i thought it might be like every other movie that Seth Rogan had been in, based on the...
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
I have just recently started taking up the martial art Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), admittedly hadn’t really researched all that well and didnt know all that much about the sport. Fortunately it is very good, it is a martial art that has adopted from the traditional Jiu-do and is mostly revolved around grappeling and submissions. For those who are unfamiliar with BJJ it would look to them...
WANTED
I went and saw at the movies a couple of days back the new Angelina Jolie movie “wanted”. Now this wasn’t a highly advertised film but those who are fans of the fat lips would have known all about it. Now “wanted” was a movie designed purely for entertainment it had start of the art special effects and a very shallow plot line. It was in pure nature just an action...
