Task 1 – Part 1

What do you want to achieve over the final 10 weeks on the

Foundation Programme?
Please respond to the questions below as a starting point. This
document is a Prop/Prompt for you and your developed answers
should be copied across to the appropriate position on your
Weebly site.

Question 1
Reflect on your work you've created so far and consider on how your use of materials,
tools, techniques, and processes reflect the broader ideas and message that you are interested to
convey. What materials, tools, techniques, and processes have you used and how can you employ a
broader range of materials and techniques to explore your theme in Module 3? 

I have explored and used different techniques and materials within this module such as
photoshop, editing through adobe premier pro, using a studio to take my tester shots as
well as final products, using things like tape, clingfilm and all sorts of materials to give
myself a range of different ideas. I would combine different techniques together through
mix media to give me different results to help build up on my research.

Question 2
Reflect upon the audience and method of dissemination for your work. What does it communicate
and who is it communicating to? What does it offer to the viewer/customer/client and their
lifestyle? Where will the work be situated? How can you market your work?  

With my final pieces I want to communicate a sense of discomfort within the viewers as all
my images will revolve around “distorted faces” as I have linked it to the previous module
idea of “Architectural Photography”. However, I have gone more in depth and focused on
what happens behind the windows and how when you look in through the window the
faces seem deformed from an outsider’s perspective, but I will exaggerate the deformity in
the images to have more discomfort to the audience. To my audience it offers a different
view as when you walk past buildings and you may look in through a window you would
tend to see a group of people doing something, but with my final piece I wanted to focus
more on induvial subjects and the deformity of their faces alone. It also allows the audience
to maybe think that this is how an outsider views them when looking in. My work will be
situated in the studio, and I would market my work through an exhibition to allow multiple
different people to view it, as everyone will have a different opinion on it towards the end
and would give different feedback.

Question 3
We make, design and produce work to be shared, and to elicit a reaction or provoke a response.
What response would you like to provoke in your Audience/Client/Viewer/User? Are you the kind of
designer/artist/producer who aims to disrupt - to entertain or to question? Is your work ironic,
playful, educational or political? Use this space to think about the response of your target audience
on viewing your work - how do you want them to react? What is an ideal response? 

I would like to provoke a reaction of displeasure through my images and leave the
audience with a feeling of discomfort after looking at my images or gif. By doing this I
would also want my work to be more playful due to the different materials I am going to
play around with in my photos to achieve this level of discomfort. When they look at my
work my aim is to make people just stare and sort of touch their face as they look due to
how the faces in my images will look.

Task 1 – Part 1

What is your Project Concept?

Please outline the project themes - and the ideas that you wish to explore. Focus on the meaning
behind the work rather than processes, materials or skills. (There is a space for this information
further on in the document) This is a short module - so it is critical that you make a swift decision
and commit to an idea early. We know that this is hard - but push yourself hard here and work to
get to the making, design and production stage with confidence. 

My project theme is distorted faces and being able to manipulate the face to your benefit as
well as the audience. There are endless ways to distorting faces through collage, photoshop
or physically which is why I chose this as there are endless results to it.

Please give an overview of the project here.

What will your work look like? What technologies/tools/equipment/processes will you use?

For my result I want to aim at making a GIF of a face being distorted with a material
wrapped around it, and through this GIF the ‘pain’ will be resembled on the face in hopes
of leaving the audience with a sense of discomfort. I will use photoshop to add any final
touches or to add more and these photos will be taken in a studio as I want to use
controlled lighting instead of natural light so I can manipulate the outcome to my
advantage. I will take a range of photos first for research and to also see what problems I
encounter before finalizing each image and selecting one to turn into a gif and then
focusing on that.
What skills will you need to develop in order to complete the work?
What will you need to learn? What existing strengths do you have that can help you to succeed?

I have experience in working in studios as my family friend is a photographer who has

always allowed me to use her studios for any projects so this has helped me to know my
way around and what objects and lighting etc I would want to use to make the process
easier. I also have experience in using a camera and with making gifs as this is something I
have had a lot of interest in and would do for fun so being able to incorporate this into my
final module will allow me to use my strengths and skills to produce good outcomes for my
final product.

What will you do to sustain your practice and to develop your motivation,
understanding and confidence?
This focus of this question is your research practice - what has already inspired, informed and
influenced you? How can you push yourself beyond your comfort zone here? 

When visiting galleries and art museums I have always shown a strong interest in distortion
and deformity of faces, so by being able to choose our final project title this has given me
the opportunity to have my own go at attempting to produce some myself and seeing what I
am able to come up with. I was influenced by different artist who have focused on this in
the past and their outtake on it like Man Ray and Jim Shaw as they both distort in very
different ways which helped show me that there is no limit to what you can do and to also
think outside the box to produce something different.

Task 1 – Part 2

This is a short module - and scheduling your activity and planning out your production arc will
help to ensure that you keep the project on track, with time to make a quality artefact for the
exhibition. The best project concept in the world will not lead to a successful outcome without
good, pragmatic planning. Remember, gathering or "procuring" materials will take time - and
supplier availability and high costs will slow you down and impact on your ability to make work.
You must factor this into your schedule. A prohibitively high cost on a particular material or item
may prompt you to investigate a more easily sourced and cheaper alternative, which can
improve your carbon footprint - and improve the "sustainability" of the project. 

Resources, Services and Tools - What will I need and what steps
must be taken to ensure access and availability?
What do you think you will need to complete the project? How can you begin to negotiate access
and co-ordinate your making with availability? 
 Resource - Service or Tool How do I access/acquire What additional understanding,
(Add to the list as you this? expenditure or skill do I need to
progress) exploit this resource well?

Camera Use my own or loan one

Studio Setting a date / time Creating a schedule for the day to be

able to complete it in one day

Sustainability
Use this page to identify aspects of your project relating to sustainability, unnecessary waste and
environmental concerns. What might you do to manage this and reduce your impact? If you can’t
manage it directly, could you take action to offset your carbon footprint? 

Please type or copy and paste your answer here

Task 1 – Part 2

Project Budget
Please list below any cost or expenditure associated with your project. The aim here is to identify
the actual cost  of the work you have made, rather than the projected cost of a proposed
outcome. You do not need to list those materials that are freely available in the studios
(paper/pencils/acrylic paint etc) but do include more specific materials such as fabric, resin,
superglue, neoprene etc. You can add to this list as you progress through the project. 

Item Purchased Supplier Cost

Renting a studio Family friend £0

Camera Me £0

Cling film Me £2.00

Tape Me £0
 Laundry Basket Home £0

The Exhibition and planning for it is a key part of this module, and must be considered alongside your
own emerging project. What are you going to exhibit? How should it be presented? How have other
creatives presented similar work? Research is key to help you to identify formats, conventions and
approaches to sharing your outcome. 

My planned outcome is best described as...

(Think about how the work will be created rather than how it will be shared or exhibited)

Traditional 2D (Drawing, Painting, Collage using real Yes No Not sure

tools/surfaces/materials) (Maybe)
Digital 2D - (Images produced using digital tools such as YES
procreate/photoshop etc.

Moving image piece - live action, Animation or Experimental hybrid. YES

Virtual piece  - (Augmented reality, 3D modelled object etc) NO

Performance Based Piece NO

Installation piece NO

Design, Client Brief or Pitch. NO

In terms of Physical scale my anticipated outcome will be...

Small Scale – Smaller than a teapot – bigger than a breadbox.

Medium Scale – Bigger than a breadbox - smaller than a bicycle.
Large Scale – Bigger than a bicycle - Smaller than a garden shed.
A collection or Series
Unknown/undefinable undefinable

In terms of its digital footprint my anticipated outcome will be...

A “Showreel” Piece of moving image less than a minute long YES

A “Showreel” Piece of moving image between one minute and five minutes
long
A “Platform” virtual Piece requiring its own computer.
A Projected piece requiring a computer and projector
Other – Please specify

In the context of planning the end of year exhibition is your piece

best described as…

A 2D piece of work fixed to a flat wall.

A 3D piece of work suspended from a secure

point in the ceiling.

A large floor mounted 3D object

A small 3D object displayed on a table or plinth.

A moving image sequence which could be part Moving image

of a showreel.

A virtual tool or artefact accessed through a

computer, tablet or smart phone.

What will need to be in place for you to complete your final piece
and to achieve your ambition and aims?

Creating a schedule to complete everything by a certain time so I

will not be rushing or cramming anything, and all work produced
will be to its best ability. By doing this that means I will also have
time to get other opinions on my work and to also make any
changes that need to be changed or fixed.
Project Planning and Scheduling
You cannot pass this module without completing a schedule.  You must complete a realistic
project schedule in order to pass the module. An additional and more detailed day by day
schedule on your website will enhance your submission, but you must complete this one first.
