The Audience

  1. Types of audiences that vist art exhibitions?
The type of audience that visit exhibitions are people who are interested in art. Also people who are intrested in seeing how people work and finding new artist. The main type of people who visit art exhibitions are people who have heard that an artist they like is showing work. 

     2. What is the audience expection of the type of exhibtion you are creating?
The type of exhibtion I am creating, is for the title Digital World. So I would think that the audience is expecting something to do with computers, moblie phones etc - basically anything that you would relate to the world Digital. 

 
    3. What does the audience expect in the way of presentation?
 I think that the audience would expect clean, crisp presentation. This would porvide a very professional look and finish to the images. 

    4/5  What will the audience experience from your work? What do you want the audience to experience from your exhibition?
 Hopefully the audience will get a feel for the converstation going on between the images. My image is of two people on mobile phones, I got the camera quite close to the mobile phones. The reason I did this is so when a person looks at the image they will hopefully be absorbed into the image, and almost hear the converstaton going on.

Michael Wolf

This is an image by Michael Wolf, has chosen Google’s Street View tool. Michael Wolf uses Google Street View to get up close and into peoples 'personal' space, this allows him to get shots that he wouldn't normally be able to take. 
 With the image above you can almost feel the love, and how the man in front feel a little uncomfortable about the couple behind him. 




After looking at my images in there final form , I decided that these to images alone said everything that I wanted my images to say. My images  are a very similar style to Michael Wolf.
I've got very close to the mobile phones, so close that you only see some of the person. I think my images give off a sense that you're almost close enough to hear the conversation.

I'm now going to print on A3 paper, and mount to foam board. I think that printing these images larger will send off a bigger effect.

The final idea.

This is a screen shot of the images I'm going to use for my final image. My 'idea' is, that I have took candid shots of people using there mobile phones around town and I'm zooming in on the device. The idea is that people are always using some sort of digital device and that it dominates peoples lives.  I'm going to print the images onto A4 photo paper then mount them to foam boards, I'll be using Velcro to keep my images on the wall.

So i've decided to change my idea, AGAIN....

But this time I think I'm going to stick with it, as I think it matches the brief for My digital World better than the other two ideas i've had.
So this idea is a bit of my first idea, just juggled around a bit. I'm taking pictures of people using digital devices such as phones, ipods, etc, I'm going to take two types of pictures: The first type of picture is where I have asked the person to pose for an picture,the second type is a sneaky shot, where I just take the picture of the people in action whilst using the devices - this type of shot was to show how dependent people are on the digital devices.
If you take a look around your town you will normally find that most of the people are using mobile phones or have some sort of musical device on them.
I'm not sure which type of picture I'm going to use, so I'm taking both to see which one turns out better.

Final

I have my final image, I have choson to use 4 ipods, showing the different generations.
To create my final image i have used photoshop.
On photoshop i changed the brightness and contrast to bring out the bright matalic colours, other than that i have made no other change to my image.
The image size is A3, I have chosen to go A3 because i only have the one image so i wanted it to look good. The ipods are tilted slightly to the side so you can see how the ipods have moved on and changed in design.
