(B2) VIDEOS

-

EMILY FORGOT

Triadisches Ballett von Oskar Schlemmer - Bauhaus


  • Interesting use of space and colour with regards to the costumes and dancers 
  • The settings make the use of yellow, pink, black and white often in contrast to the multicoloured costumes 
  • An array of shapes and grids are seen throughout the video, changing with each scene. Some are used as props and others are more of an addition to the background
  • It was the shapes and colours that stood out to me the most in this video 
  • Cubes, circles, lines

LYDIA RAGHAVEN 
Amaro and Walden's Joyride


  • Definitely the most entertaining out of all the videos
  • A music video so, something I found a lot more engaging 
  • The use of illustrated characters within a video 
  • A lot of use of shape and colour again in this video
  • The characters drive through a tunnel and it is similar to the cuboid setting in the previous video

MARYLOU FAURE
Grace Jones - I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango)


  • Another music video
  • Very artistic use of masks and hats relates back to shape and colour like the videos before 
  • Even the choice of instrument was highly considered in the making of this video 
  • Mainly polygonal shapes used 
ALEX DOHERTY
Old School Rave - The Morning After The Night Before


  • Heavily shared video across social media 
  • Video demonstrating the drug culture at raves in England 
  • Lacks the artistry the other videos have and the staging 
NICOLE GINELLI
Peter Campus, Three Transitions, 1973

  • Very trippy video 
  • Great use of colour again with the bright yellow background and the mirrored man mask 
  • Like a collection of double- exposures that engage the audience into the illusion of the video
  • The first transition from broken to fixed maybe? 
RUSSELL DAVIES
Laurie Anderson - O Superman


  • Another music video 
  • Starnge backgrounds made of projections and shapes 
  • Use of different colours through different moods of the song 
  • A lot of consideration to lighting and shapes in the video 
  • Not sure if what is going on visually correlates with the audio, however, it is perspective I suppose 
This is just some brief notes to see what can link these videos together to see how we use that within the design for the ad campaign.

(B5) KEY FEATURES OF GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE

-
Image
Gothic style can vary depending on location, age and the type of building (the purpose as such). However, to identify these buildings architects use five key architectural features: Large stained glass windows This is why gothic architecture is usually associated with places of worship as this feature is prevalent in Gothic cathedrals. "Featuring meticulously cut coloured glass" which are usually tall and arched windows (lancet) or round (rose). Often taller than the windows typically seen in churches. The idea is to let in technicolour light.  It is also known that these windows frequently feature tracery, which is decorative stone support. Pointed arches Another identifiable feature is the pointed arches. These are found in most places of worship i.e churches and cathedrals. It is suggested that the pointed style of these arches was taken from Islamic architecture rather than the typical Romanesque buildings found typically in Europe. The idea behind the shape of these wind
