Today's assignment was definitely an arts and crafts throwback. The last time I cut out pictures from magazines for a collage was for a solar system in my high school astronomy class. However, this was my first time attaching magazine clippings to a piece of film for viewing.
When going through the magazines, I found some that had different recipes for food such as pizzas and sandwiches, and even a full crab dinner. Since I enjoy food (who doesn't?), I decided to use that in my collage. Another part of my idea was to create a string of words including "FILM 2016" and "Cape Fear". After cutting out most of my magazine pieces, I decided not to use them in my collage because I wanted to cover more space on my piece of tape. One issue I had was my collage strips not sticking to the film strip. After soaking the strips for ten to fifteen minutes the strips refused to stick to the film. I re-soaked many of my strips and hopefully after letting them dry overnight they will finally cooperate. I am ready to do some more splicing tomorrow and begin the first project of the semester! Thinking of a project involving the four elements reminds me about the show Avatar the Last Air Bender that I watched as a kid on Nickelodeon. If you have not watched it you need to see it! It is a very memorable and unique cartoon series. However, before I get too off topic I will say that I am excited to see the magazine transfers look on the big screen tomorrow!
