Brief- Produce a selection of photographic imagery that explores the themes and techniques of painting with light.
At first, I was sceptical if I would enjoy this task because I don't particularly like neon or bright colours used in solid lines, which I thought this would be a lot like because of artists works and adverts I have discovered in the past. However, after experimenting, I found ways and techniques to produce images I enjoyed- I like the look of the over-exposed, blurry abstract images. In the future, I would perhaps like to go back into the studio and produce more photography using light.
Some images reminded me of Tracey Emin's work because I experimented slightly with text. Even though I love Tracey Emin's work as a whole, I only enjoy the confessional aspect of her 'neon sign/photographic light' work.

This title sequence from the 1995 film, 'Se7en' (Title Sequence Se7en) was influenced by Stan Brakhage's 'Cat's Cradle' 1959 (Stan Brakhage Cat's Cradle)
After watching these examples in class, we were then asked to create some film strips of our own. I edited the 16mm film by working directly onto the film using ink and markers and applying it with my fingerprints and bubble wrap. Every 25 perferations creates one second of footage; so I had to repeat the mark I'd made 25 times.
