MEDIA ONE

In Media 1, we created pictures and quick-moving images (videos, gifs etc.) for the customised shoe that was made based on our selected artist.

My chosen artist is OHNIM (SONG MINO), a Korean singer who developed his passion for art into a career. His aesthetic is largely inspired by how certain emotions cannot be expressed through language. There is interesting and intelligent use of colour; although he uses many high-saturated palettes but his paintings often convey a sense of misery.

I decided to incorporate two pieces of my favourite painting of his in the design of my shoes, each representing one. I also made sure the colours were in contrast, as well as the feelings expressed. During the customisation, I included a range of materials which created lots of dynamic to my work.

This session mainly focused on taking pictures and making moving images that are extendable and can be transformed more towards editorial styled. I noticed that I was able to recognise my surroundings and utilise the props around me to make more interesting photos; I also have many picture ideas in terms of how to place the object etc. I was able to develop editing skills as I had the opportunity to experiment with different software, effects, filters etc. However, I did struggle with creating moving images as I lack experience in this and it was difficult to cut the various clips.
