Subject 2 : (Augmented) Dialogue with a Masterpiece

Subject 2 :

- (Augmented) reality dialogue with a masterpiece. From a masterpiece, you will create a video/animation/sound that will appear with "Artivive" App over the selected piece, into Pompidou collection. Dialogue means that you have to take position and argument -as an artist/young people from XXI century- with a piece of art.

- select a masterpiece from permanent exhibition @Center Pompidou. Try not to select a sculpture/volume or something with reflections (protecting glass), it may not work well with the Augmented Reality App.

- take a picture of it/ Print it for next lesson. Do video recording from the museum room, atmosfear, scales, distances, public reactions, looks, comments, what pieces are in regard to your choice, their relationships, etc.

- from the masterpiece : do researches about the creation, date of realisation (what happened in the world, geopolitics, local events, music, philosophy, etc), about the title (meaning of it), about its creator (what are his aims, goals, problematics, what pieces he did before and after). You will be able to answer to these questions next lesson.

- from the masterpiece : draw it, think about its scale, mention and note its colors, composition, title, date, what echoes from your personnal or artistic background ? Do a deep mindmap about it. You 'll be able to present all these next lesson.

Lesson 1 : Subject & References

SUBJECT 1

Make a video essay of duration 1minute30sec/2minutes30sec with Adobe Premiere Pro.
(Please, check the settings recommandation on the first post)
Use 10-12 pictures of your own. Try to find a relationship between them : narration, thema, characters, place, context, time, atsmosphere,...
Your video could be an essay, a video poem, a documentary, a thought, or a story.
Place a title at the beginning or the end of your video. (make it simple : no move, no effects, no weird typography)
Try to use "effects" (effect control, effects, animation, photoshop layers) and sounds (voices, poems, FX sounds) to create more than a slide-show, but a video/motion images.
You can use some music samples (if you're not playing, then credit them at the end), but not over all your video : this is not a videoclip.
ZOOM in/out are not allowed. Take your picture at its largest. Do a cropped version of it. Then insert one then the other one after. This is a focus.
DON'T create two movements over the same rush (left to right, then to up, etc).


Here are some examples that you could get inspiration from :



Chris Marker "La jetée" 1962

Jean Eustache "les photos d'Alix" 1980

 
 Exhibition Alix Cléo Roubaud, BNF Paris.
