Blog#4: Visit to MOMA
The shape of things exhibit had a lot of parts to it that
relate to the lecture material. Each shot was more than just a simple image,
but played with different elements of photography. Some of the still pictures used depth of field to make an image stand out.
There were a few images that used close up shots that allowed me to see more details
of the object in the shot. I cannot remember the name of the artist, but there
was one shot that was simply a wall. The close up let me see the details of the
wall, the chipped paint, the paint blisters, etc., that made the picture
different. The exhibit as a whole was interesting seeing older examples of
still images and contrasting them to ones that we see today.
The film Handsworth Songs has similar examples as
well. The film was very unique to me because the film used three separate screens
to give the experience. At first it was hard to know where to focus on the
film, but when I realized where to have my focused I enjoyed the film. To me, I
think that the side screens added a separate picture to the music and foley. It
is hard to even call it foley when the footage from the sound was right there.
This experience was something that I feel can only exist in documentaries.
I enjoyed both exhibits and I feel that they both show
different aspects of what we learned in lecture.
