Movie Poster
FOR THIS PROJECT, WE HAD TO DESIGN A MOVIE POSTER THAT HAD A CERTAIN PURPOSE: TO IMPROVE ONE'S ABILITY TO DRAW FREEHAND BY COMBINING MANY TECHNIQUES SUCH AS RENDERING, TONAL VALUES, ARCHITECTURAL WRITING, DRAWING OF NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL OBJECTS, AND SELF-EXPRESSION.
Movie Poster
DRAFT
BEFORE FINALISING THE POSTER, WE HAD TO COME UP WITH AT LEAST TWO (2) DRAFTS WHICH CONSISTED OF A SPECIFIC EMPHASIS AND A BASIC VISUALISATION OF THE MESSAGE THAT WOULD BE PORTRAYED. THE DRAFTS THEN WOULD BE SENT TO THE LECTURER AND THE FEEDBACK WOULD DETERMINED WHICH DRAFT WAS TO BE FINALISED.
OUTCOME
THIS IS THE FINALISED VERSION OF THE SECOND DRAFT AS MY LECTURER PREFERRED THE SECOND DRAFT. I CREATED EMPHASIS BY USING BLACK AND WHITE AS THE TITLE. I ALSO USED THE METAPHORICAL OF COLOURS TO CONVEY SPECIFIC EMOTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, RED CONNOTES BLOOD AND GREEN CONNOTES ENVY. THUS, THESE JUXTAPOSITIONS HAVE HELPED ME ACHIEVED THE OBJECTIVE OF CREATING AN IMPACT THROUGH THE POSTER.
OVERALL
NOT ONLY DID THIS PROJECT ENHANCED MY SKILLS IN USING WATERCOLOUR AS A MEDIUM, IT HAS ALSO HELPED ME INCREASE MY SKILL IN COMMUNICATING THROUGH VISUALISATION BY USING LITERARY DEVICES THAT I'VE LEARNED FROM LITERATURE. BY ADDING THE KNOWLEDGE I'VE ALREADY HAD AND ADD IT WITH THE KNOWLEDGE I'VE GAINED FROM THIS MODULE, IT HAS DEFINITELY STRENGTHENED MY CAPABILITY IN PRODUCING MESSAGE THROUGH VISUAL ART.
THROUGHOUT THIS PROJECT, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEARN INDEPENDENTLY AS WELL AS MAKE USE OF THE KNOWLEDGE I ALREADY HAVE. THUS, EVERYTHING I HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS PROJECT WILL BE USEFUL FOR ME TO UTILISE IN THE FUTURE.
Reflection
WHEN STARTING TO FINALISE THE POSTER, I HAD SOME ISSUES WITH THE MEDIUM AS I HAVE NOT PAINTED USING WATERCOLOUR IN A WHILE. THUS, IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO GET USED TO IT. BECAUSE OF THIS, I HAD TO USE THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS IN ORDER TO NOT MESS UP AS IF I DID, TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN WASTED.
THROUGHOUT THIS PROJECT, I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO MANAGE MYSELF AS WELL AS TRYING TO GET USED TO PAINTING USING WATERCOLOUR AS A MEDIUM WHICH WOULD BE USEFUL IN THE FUTURE.
