Memories: Scribbling with hatred (Experiment)

This is my first experiment for my final body of work in my memories mock exam. To do this I used photoshop's brush tool to create the lines (or scribbles) across the person. I created the moving image by saving a copy of the image after each line had been draw so you could see the build up to the final image and it makes it more effective. I started the lines off small and gradually built them up to be bigger and harsher to show the anger getting more and more intense and the frustration building up. I changed the colour of the lines to represent different emotions with the blue representing sadness, red representing anger, the dark blue/purple to represent deep sadness and depression, and the green to represent the good times that are now gone. The purpose of this short animation is to imply/show hatred toward the person in the image, to convey how someone feels after a friendship falls apart or a relationship breaks down. This was inspired by Imogen Lawrence's project "My Response To Rankin's Destroy" where she tore and painted over images of her self to represent different emotions people feel. I think this worked really well, I like the stop motion and I like how it builds up and gets more aggressive. I am going to use this technique in my final body of work, but I will create more images for the stop frame animation to add more effect and to make it longer.
