Mise en scène

 

Mise en scène is an artistic expression used to convey the design aspects of theatre or film production, which translates to "visual theme" or "telling a story". Mise en scène relates to anything shot before a camera and its arrangement which includes: composition, sets, props, actors, costumes, and lighting.

Cardboard sampler/ Maquette

My first sampler of my object is made up of multiple layers to achieve volume. Since i could not find glue instead, i used toothpicks to hold it together. After completing the sampler, i started to see the shape of the switch and got a better idea of how to make the switch functional. As you see, in the second sampler the switch is more developed by more folds and bent ridges resembling an actually light switch.

Learning Negative Space

After learning about negative space it was put to the test by coming up with a piece of our own. For guidance, i viewed the works of Noma Bar.  I never did this type of thinking for a piece before so after viewing a couple of pieces of this art form, the similarity among all of them was revealing a dark truth or disturbing message which made the viewer think twice while playing the mind what image to focus on more but also see it as a whole. So with this in mind, i came up with a gruesome scene of wolves shredding apart a dove. The detail in the feathers also create the jagged edged teeth of the three wolves. The strip of white and a rain drop shape that trickles behind it, is the blood shed from the attack. Tina described my characters as "cute creatures" but my intention of this piece is far from cute.

For the sake of seeing the detail change in this photo i made the images HUGE. I do apologize for the photos oozing onto the side of the page because it is hideous. Besides that, pretty cool edit, eh?
