In this expression of The
Fountain I created both a 2D image and a spatial representation of that
drawing based on a synthesis of my experience of five aspects of the film’s
creation and presentation .
The cinematic terms I chose for this set are: match cut, motif, juxtaposition, time, and
montage.
In the drawing I used overlays of Tom’s and Izzy’s faces to
define areas of more or less intensity of tonal value. The tonal value of the image is taken from pictures
of Izzy and Tom. Juxtaposition is shown
through the horizontal bands of light and dark, which represent Tom and Izzy,
and fade into each other in three vertical regions. These three vertical regions represent the
time element of the movie and also correspond to the eyes, nose, and mouth of
the characters, showing match cut from the movie and using the process of match
cut in Photoshop. I chose to use the
face as the main organizational base, as it is a main motif in the movie.
The overdrawn lines represent the montage effect by which
the movie connects the story, timeline, and thematic elements.
The drawdel version of this picture is a flattened spatial non-literal
expression of the same five words.
Juxtaposition is shown through planar and tectonic elements. Match cut is represented by the object
existing from both sides. Time is shown
through the three main horizontal bands of chip board, while montage and motif
are shown through the use of intersecting and hidden and revealed aspects of
the original 2D drawing.
