Southbank Surveys- Natural light recordings

Light is something that makes things visible or affords illumination. All colours depend on light.

Light is known as luminous energy and radiant energy.

Light is a natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible.

Recording the natural light and artificial light.

Highlights made by the light on the buildings and using it as a way to explore the site.

Flashing is a short vivid experience, a gleam or glow intermittent. Cinematography uses flashing as a method of contrast enhancement that takes advantage of natural physical properties of film to bring out detail in darker areas of the print. 
Ambient light is a surrounding light with an environment.  

Southbank Surveys- Mapping peoples movement through the site

For me to understand the movement throughout the site made by people, it is important for me to divide the site up into 5 sections and survey the sections at different times of the day. I have just made simply lined mappings so I can then transfer this onto a technical plan of the site. I had recorded the points where people stop and what their interactions are.

 

Southbank Surveys- Recording using a pin hole camera

I wanted a different way to record the light on the South bank site. There are three ways that I could record: using a pinhole camera, a 35mm film SLR and a digital SLR. I want to compare what the best way is to record the light at the site. I have started recording using a pin hole camera, as you can see I haven't had much luck but that's what I find exciting, is the fact that this cannot be controlled. You just have to wait and see what appears.  
First attempt

Second attempt

As you can see these images have either been exposed for too long or too little. Maybe the camera also had light infiltrating. Both of the above films were made using one camera. I will make another one, cover it in plenty of tape and see what the result is. I like the way you never know what the result is going to be, you don't know what the image will reveal. You pull up the card to reveal the hole for a second and hope that you will get a photo of what you were aiming to take.

Pressure Points

Andrew Millar - Teddy Bag       

Recent trends have seen a huge rise in the cheap clothing industry, where products have virtually become disposable. We send a lot of our clothing items abroad to poorer nations - with good intentions - however crippling their economy, by not allowing them to sell their own produce. The Teddy Bag is a chair fabricated of 100% natural wool material, in which children store soft toys and clothes, old and new, taking responsibility for their own waste at an early age.
