Shadow Orbit

Analysis in Sketch Book

 

I have used a camera as a object to create a shadow, in relation to using a similar camera to take the actual pictures. The video has a black and white filter to force the shadows to be emphasised by the setting making the black areas deeper and have more contrast to their surroundings. I have used multiple light sources to have a second shadow overlaying the other. One shadow is stationary, while the other orbits the object (camera). I have tried to demonstrate Apart and Together by using the multiple shadows, rather than one, to show togetherness within the shadows, as they overlap. The black and white filter also enhances the overlapping shadows as the darkest areas are further deepened and have more depth. One of the light sources was turned off half way through the animation in order to demonstrate the "Apart" feeling of the theme. If I were to do this again, I would take the photos more carefully and try to stop moving as much and to keep the shadow's tones the same when necessary, and not accidentally change the tone of the shadow when it should only be moving. I was unable to fix the shadow's tones in the photos as there were too many photos and the background tone would also change and therefore make the mistake stand out even more than before.
