Back Up Plan
Just in case my animation for 'Bacchus and Ariadne' did not turn out well or could not be used for whatever reason; I developed a back up plan. It is based on the Michael Landy exhibition of recreating an image of something. This made me think about Tom Hunter and how he recreates ancient paintings and puts a modern twist on them e.g. 'Woman Reading Possession Order' (1998). I researched into the Pre-Raphaelites and paintings from the Renaissance to choose one that i could recreate. I had to think realistically for this project as I do not have the means or the time to recreate a painting on such a large scale as tom Hunter.
I decided on the painting 'Ophelia' by Sir John Everett Millais (1851-2) which Tom Hunter also constructed a response to ('The Way Home' (1999-01)). I chose this painting as I already had a few ideas about how to shoot it in a modern way.
Response to crit
- You could enhance the photograph to make some of the colours stand out better and make it brighter (I did look at enhancing this photo on Photoshop however, I found that it did not really make much difference as it easily became overexposed and looked over-coloured)
- The photograph is instantly recognisable, so unlike the animation you do not need to do any pre-explaining about what the image is and where it has come from
