Keep in mind that a smaller f/ number means a wider aperture and the wider the aperture, the more dramatic this effect will be. Some lenses can go as low as f/1.2, but even apertures of f/5.6 can do the trick. REMEBER THIS!

- Also, when working on my balloons, and trying to make them spin on blender, we realised that although the blend spinning tool was on and the balloons were spinning, we were not able to see this, as the lighting on the sphere wasn't changing. 

NOTES : We would need to change the direction of light in blender, so that you would be able to see when the sphere was moving.

 

 -We also played with putting textures on the spheres (that represent my balloons) and experimented turning the reflection layer on the spheres and seeing what would change. As that would be the only way that you could see my spheres spinning on the screen ( because my balloons are a sphere shape and only has one spherical face to it, so of course you’re not going to be able to see the spinning sphere in motion) 

to it and of course you are not going to be able to see the spinning ball in motion) 

- The next thing for me and DIana to think about is positioning lights onto my spheres in blender

Using shoebox maquette".
As I know from a student perspective I can find it hard sometimes keeping up with a presentation and lessons. I understand that english may not be students first language and some students find it hard to read (dyslexic like me) and to keep up with taking in to much information all at once is really difficult.
So with my powerpoint presentation explaining what we will be doing in the workshop, I will also be giving out easy step instructions on paper so that people can know to go at their own pace.

The workshop that Sonal gave us was to make our own page using a particular word I was given Proximity so I had to create a page that referd to proximity where I had to group relative information and compose it together on a page 

  that we were given  made us think more in

It was fantastic to have her come to BCU and talk to us about her work, and the projects that she had done with clients and collaborators such as Lady Gaga, Nick Knight, Gareth Pugh, and Alexander Mcqueen. It was amazing to see her fashion films and how she creates visuals. I have always been interested in the crazy sculptural garments that Lady Gaga wears, and in Alexander Mcqueen’s individual garments, shows and collections, and in Gareth Pugh’s striking garments. These artists have often come into my research throughout my education in photography and in visual communication.
After the lecture, I went down and talked to her myself, saying much I admired her incredible her work and she gave me some advice. I gave her my business card. I made sure that I had business cards in my pocket, as I wasn't going to leave the lecture without giving her one of them. You never know when you may be someone you want to give them to, and its a useful way of being remembered. 

ALWAYS KEEP A COUPLE OF BUISNESS CARDS ON YOU.

Looking at Ruth's fashion films has made me think how I could bring in moving image into my masters project, or even possibly using all 3 formats. Using 3d animation, film and stills in my end project 

 I followed up the Ruth Hogben lecture that I attended at BCU, by sending an email to her. I talked to Ruth straight after her lectur and she said that I should email her. 
I felt it was important opportunity  to follow this up, as she would be an amazing contact to have as her work is incredible and I admire it so much. We both have very similar interests in fashion and shape and having a surreal dimension when it comes to creating sets. It would be a honour if I was able to do any work for her in the future.
Also, when looking at her instagram I saw a fashion film series of hers called ‘Pages’ and I loved the spherical shapes she used. I felt that the series had some similarities with the work I created, particularly my use of red balloons in a white space.
