COP3 Tutorial 11/11/15 notes

Notes:

After submitting the first draft of the dissertation this tutorial focused on the structure and examples in my work so far. 

Look at Vermeer iconic painting, Girl with the Pearl Earring - consider how this can help you with your analysis or an artist who has the same approach to composition. The composition in Vermeer's piece is simple yet effective, a portraiture of a woman at a medium/full close shot, with deep shades in the colour palette being attacked with black. See if there are other examples that would help you with more depths of space - Look into the Pre-Raphaelite era for inspiration?

Vermeer, Girl with the Pearl Earring (1665)

Chapter 1 - Giving the reader a grounding of what you are exploring in first paragraph, so a mini intro paragraph, 'in this chapter the analysis of.....' etc. Also have a concluding paragraph at the end of each chapter, good practice. Summarising and concluding. 

Pudovkin - Sequential Art - how does his experiment connect? this can aid the storyboard examples. 

The book Art and Illusion will help with ideas on tackling the impossible lens and generate more ideas on examining examples.

Chapter structure:

Make sure your introduction states the theorist, artists and key texts that have influenced you throughout the methodology. 

Move the Editing chapter from being second to first, this is to make the flow of the text more simple and easy to read, giving examples of theories to then apply to following chapters. Link storyboard examples to second chapter, how the painters influence the storyboard composition. 

Move synthesis to conclusion chapter, Synthesis is concluding what you have taken from your research and how you have applied it. 

Practical: 

Can you reference paintings you have researching into your panels? absorb the structure of the primary planes and awareness of space.
