Photo Response to 'Let's See What Happens...Tim Davies'

In response to Tim Davies' exhibition for the theme of 'Let's See What Happens' which was Chase I wanted to focus on what he had looked at and really done for the video he had displayed and do a photo based on the same or a similar idea with the same or similar visual aspects. By using the information that had been on the leaflet from the Glyn Vivian which stated that the video was of 'a fleeting moment as a figure is seen running through street in an increasingly frenzied movement, culmination in hurried glances of new buildings' I wanted to make sure that I used a element of running and frenzied movement but rather than new building I wanted to differ and use a old building, mainly because when I listened to the music and sounds that were being played for his video I felt that having a older eerie building may have gone better.

This is my response...

To take this photo I used a Nikon Coolpix S6150, which is my small digital camera, I know that I wanted to use the effect and appearance of a camera being moved during a long exposure to create a rushed look to the photo as if it were being taken while someone were running. This was difficult to do on a digital camera when you couldn't change the exposure time. I then edited two photos to black and white and layered them over one another changing the opacity of the top image so the bottom one was still visible. I layered the two together to create a more distressing and distorted appearance trying to keep visually in theme with Tim's video.
