FA7034 - Walk down Brick Lane (Updated 14/3/16)

On 22nd February 2016 I walked down Brick Lane with the rest of my animation class to take photographs and video footage of any intersting features I could find as preparatory work for my major project. I have brought some senses in line with what I shot, particularly sight, smell and taste.

I put some of the photographs and the video footage in the following edit:

For sight I focused on features such as the lampposts in Brick Lane differing from those in Whitechapel High Street; the Gherkin behind some railings; shops and restaurants that had interesting font; repetition of Santander hire bikes; the restaurants Aladin (sic) and Jasmine reminding me of the film Aladdin (Clements and Musker, 1992); and the Overground train passing the bridge above the lane. For smell I took photographs of a chicken shop and a curry house because I could smell fried chicken and curry; and for taste I photographed the Cereal Killer Café because I remembered how good their cereals tasted.

In this version I made sure all the photographs filled the whole scree, rearranged certain pictures, added sound effects and added an additional section on touch.

In addition to editing the video, I traced over the photograph of what appeared to be a consequences game, added a brick texture filter to the wooden part to show that it was in Brick Lane and I added curvy red arrows to show that the sections could be turned around to make different body combinations.

This is my tracing over a nautical mosaic I saw in the wall. I added an octopus to the tracing as well as the mosiac tiles filter.

This is a tracing I made of a hand with a henna design on a manhole. I made the henna design in different colours.

Here is the third edit of the video I made. I changed some of the sound effects and added the traced images.
