Our idea of City project is human evolution as we had to demonstrate the difference between old and new. We believe that evolution would be a good approach to depict how society has moved on from ancient to modernism day.
We incorporated the technique Projection mapping to emphasis the pattern and it worked very well, it added the vibrant and culturally to our city. This was kind risk taking as well because there's possibilities that we might fail it. When we did the experiment of projection, the African pattern video we made was projecting on the city set. However, when we moved to the DPL, the illumination was unsuccessful because it was too big and most of the apertures were mapped on the black floor. However, it actually looked pretty good than the project on the tin foil city. It emphasized the pattern and colours, as well as showing the slow motions, it also enhanced the prominent cultural themes.
Another risk taking thing is that we used tin foil to wrap up up the buildings. As we know that tin foil is very easy to break, I had to draw pattern very carefully to avoid of rapping it.
In the production process, we worked as part of the team and knew what exactly things each member should do. Harry was our team leader, James was responsible for making the model and I worked on the African patterns. According to my research, the
African patterns are often used as a form of coded information. Parallel, zigzag, cruciform, curved spiral lines and so on. These can denote social status or have magical or religious powers. In the other words, the patterns are the reflection of the human cultural, and the cultural is a very important element of development of human evaluation.
I think our project worked quite successfully because we meet the requirement, we used techniques associated with risk taking in a creative setting and we respond to the city project very well. However, if we were going to do it again, we will make some green screen footages as the transition to the project, we thought we did not have much time to shoot, but we actually have plenty of time left. We could utilize that period of time to shoot the video and make a short animation based on our city set. We could have done more experiment to our project and make it better.
Another improvement we could do is using a cake stand spinner to rotate the city set. It would give audiences a 360 degree of perspective view, and it adds fun to the city as well as enhance the interactions.
