Own Banksy picture


Banksy Picture

I picked this for my Banksy picture because i like the contrast between the black and grey of the man, with the pink of the balloon dog.

Book Research

George Lucas - by Jim Smith
under Copyright act of 2003
First published by Virgin books Ltd in Grate Britain
Thames Wharf studios
Rainville Road
London
I chose this book because one of my ideas it to make a light-saber fight video. I picked this up because i thought it may contain information about George Lucas' creation of the star wars films.

Film directing Shot by Shot - by Steven d. Katz
Under Copyright act of 1991
published by Michael Wiese Productions, 3960 Laurel Canyon Blvd
Film Directing Shot by Shot: Visualizing from Concept to Screen (Michael Wiese Productions)
I picked up this book because for both my ideas i will need a variety of different shot types.
I think this book is about different camera angles and shot.
I think this book will help because it contains different shot types and ways of story-boarding.

My Saatchi review

The Saatchi Gallery is the first place to go for new and innovative modern art, with a range of very different art styles.

This modern art invokes many different opinions for example, "The work in this show feels lighter in spirit than British art has for a generation."

(Richard Dorment - Daily Telegraph)

I felt a little underwhelmed when in the Gallery, with only two rooms really doing anything for me, The oil room and the room full of speakers.

I think i preferred them because of the scale of the piece.

A quote from Charlotte Sinclair of vogue, "if the exhibition had happened at the Tate Gallery it might have been less amazing in a way, but because it was at the old, fuddy-duddy

Royal Academy it, suddenly took off."

I found much of the art in the show to be strange or slightly confusing, not to my taste. But a few select pieces were utterly amazing, For example 'Untitled' a room full of 300

speakers all connected to a self playing piano playing an erie sound track.

I enjoyed the Gallery and show as a hole but disliked allot of the work in it.

"The art is less attention-seeking than anything seen in the headline-grabing YBA era"

(Andy Warhol - Artist)
