I found this workshop very useful, it helped to jog my memory of lost skills. however, i found it quite hard to produce something i had pictured in my head, it took a while to find the right tool, or use the right process in order to achieve what i set out to do. i decided to take a collage approach because i could use cut and resizing tools well, it allowed me to alter my painting in ways that would take ages without photoshop. from there, i played around with the saturation, contrast, and overlays to intensify colours. i like the many layers produced, and the ease of realising a piece of work before actually making it, i think in the future i will use this tool to sketch out ideas before making them by hand.

i had used video editing programs before but only to cut down projects, i learned many more techniques that i can take further. this video is made up of videos found on Pexel, i searched for clips that create anticipation- watching a train journey, writhing patterns and jellyfish. the sounds accompanying it provide an eerie atmosphere, no defined sounds just white noise. The lack of climax holds you in, keeps you waiting for something, i felt it was a lot easier to adhere to a theme with moving image because it is so immediate, it allows you to picture something in your head and produce it in minutes and if it doesn’t work out you can redo anything; very low risk. i feel this video is still i bit rough but with more spent on it i could consider more development.
