Set One of Elements 2, 3, and 4



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.
