Lovely Curves - Final

Our final project is about how body is shaped by society and actually how this has no importance. We used glasses, mirrors and water in order to represent our idea to people. 


Our artist statement : "There is no single universal body image that people should fit in. The variety of body shapes show that there should be no general understanding of beauty. However, media and society form an ideal beauty  which has a connection with the thinness.This artwork contains different glasses that reflects different women body forms. People see themselves as inverted and distorted forms from the mirrors behind glasses. In that sense, whether people look at overweight form or thinner form of glasses, they see themselves in different reflections. This shows that form of glasses distort the perception of beautifulness in people’s mind. However, the same water in each glasses means that the appearances are not even important. In general, whatever body type you have, the true representation of beauty is hidden inside of ones personality. This artwork is inspired by Suzanne Saroff who uses everyday objects behind glasses filled with water. She changes the meaning of objects by distorting them."

Mostly, people like our idea in exhibition because it is a general problem. Ideal beauty has a connection with thinness. Most of the people encounter some sentences like " you should be careful about your weight", " eat less" etc. However, your appearance has no importance.

Lighting

Resim
In this week, we learned knowledge about lightening which is one of the most important aspects in the movie, video clip, photography etc. Light changes everything in shot, depends on angles, it can give emotional atmosphere or dark feeling or give any emotions. There are many types of light technique that gives have a chance to reach any of feeling in the video or photograph. In the lighting workshop, while we were creating the set, the most I like is that using red, green and blue colours in the photographs. I like creating silhouette and low key lighting. It was enjoyable class hours to spend our time because studio gives us to understand more about lighting compare to the classical powerpoint lecture.   Lighting is everything because in the movie or video clip, even if your framings, sounds are good, when your lighting is not matching with the idea of what you want to give message of this shot, your whole work could be in trash. Therefore, lighting setting is...

Tabula Rosa

Resim
Tabula Rosa is directed by Hatice Memiş and written by Gülin Tokat in 2016. The movie is about one day, Sinan rescues a woman while she is walking in the street. A woman carries a bag full of money. However, she doesn’t remember her name and also the source of the money because of temporary memory loss. The unexpected love between them brings lots of difficulties. The story is mainly about Armenian lawyer Rosa who lost her memory as a result of a trauma. In that film, first I want to talk about the script. The movie of the story is powerful because the way Gülin Tokat tells the story is successful to reach the idea of “don’t judge people because of their different religions”. Rosa doesn’t remember where she comes from. She meets with Sinan. Sinan trust her even if she has a bag full of money. He believes that she doesn’t do anything about illegal. Day by day, their relationship bond gets stronger but they also afraid of the truth. While I was watching this film, I also curious about ...

Alice in Wonderland - Adaptation

Resim
Alice in Wonderland is written by Lewis Carroll in 1865. The book is about a girl named Alice falling through a hole into a fantasy world and what she face with different creatures in that place. Even if Lewis Carroll created book for children also adults are interested in this tale. He didn’t know how his story become so popular for many years later. Now, his story have been the subject of adaptations and also they have been transformed into new forms of media. In the story, it has so much imaginative characters, they can talks, sings etc. so, this absurd nature of Wonderland also gives the producers and film making sectors to present their imagination in a unique ways. When I was a child, I watched cartoon version of this story and I enjoyed it because the story itself has broad imagination.  Walt Disney Pictures presented the movie by Tim Burton. Tim Burton has a characteristic style in his whole films and I really curious about before the fil...
