Imagery
The following four images are photographs that I have taken in the past, each of them has an element that I can adapt into movement and a story behind them which are explained below the photographs. They are also all quite general meaning that many of them can remind others of old memories, even if they were not there at the moment I took the photographs.
This photograph was taken at my first ever festival in which I was part of the professional press pit, this was taken the moment I had settled into my tent and was watching others struggle whilst it poured it down with rain. It was not only a very fun moment for those involved but allowed the campers where I was located to form a small neighbourly bond.
This was the photograph that started my passion for photography, the moment I received my first ever DSLR I went out into my grandparents back yard and instantly took this photograph. It also has been in my grandparents yard for as long as I can remember and has a past of its own, and you can even see that as it dates back to 1879.
Out of all of these photographs this is the most recent, it was taken about a month ago and is of my miniature TARDIS on my windowsill. The reason why this is a great photograph to use is because its a really recognisable thing, especially within the UK where Doctor Who is a big part of the television culture.
This final photo is also being used because it is a recognisable situation for many, the majority of people in the world have been to see a musician at some point, and you will always experience the smoke and bright lights that shape the artist playing.
Process (First Test)
This is the process of the first test for making a cinemagraph, I thought the clock was the best place to start because it was the simplest to do and allowed me to see if this was the path I wanted to take on this project.
The first thing I did was the edit the hands of the clock onto different layers, and then blend the background so that the clock face no longer had hands on it.
Next I took all three elements into After Effects, and changed the rotation point for each of the hands, then animated in the rotation of the clock hands so that it looked like time was passing.
This was possibly the simplest of the few I've done, however I want to experiment further to see what I can do within After Effects to move the images. Also because I had no video to go with the images I can only work with the parts I have, this limited me to what I could do as somethings just didn't quite look right when I moved them.
