Tutorial: Films

In my tutorial with Jules we discussed my progression through the project. She was very pleased that I had gone to several exhibitions and that they were feeding into my research. She had attended some of the same ones and we had a good discussion about the Anthony Gormley show at The Royal Academy which really exercised my reactions to space, material and representation. While looking over my sketchbook, Jules thought that looking at different media (films) would really help me my critical analysis and help me formulate my characters for my shoots better. Since that tutorial I have looked into titles including Blue Velvet, Pink Flamingos, The Birds, Psycho, Barbarella and Gummo which have really helped me construct a strong opinion of the way women and men are represented in current media. I think this made it a lot easier to formulate my character for my last shoot and gave me a lot of new ideas on the different pathways I could take for my FMP.
