Verbal Presentation

What are you trying to do with the work? I have chosen a theme of the misrepresentation, objectification and sexualisation of women in the media. The theme encompasses the idea of what we see in the media and specifically on our tv screens is not an accurate representation of women and there is a personal […]

Film and Video Art by Stuart Comer

In this book Stuart Comer edits a collection of Film and Video Art. “Experiments in film and video have encouraged significant shifts in our understanding of the intricate relations between images, perception, authorship, time, space and our own corporeal [physical] presence as viewers.” Film and video art figure heavily in The Tanks programme and it is important […]

Artist Statement

My work has been created using both sourced and self-made videos. Through editing, I have found a love for the look of CRT monitor style videos, combined with bright colours that really draw in the viewer.

SONGS I AM GOING TO INCLUDE IN FINAL VIDEOS

I have decided to keep things simpler it would be best to work to one audio track. I thought it would be better than having three separate audio tracks as I though that this would sound chaotic and could be seen as quite annoying by the viewers of the video. Therefore, I am going to […]
