Rationale

I was inspired by the repetition work of Andy Warhol that includes the Campbell soup and the portrait of Marilyn Monroe. But the real inspiration of my final piece came from the repetition painting of MarilynMonroe. Andy Warhol make use of the same graphic but adopts different colour scheme for each square of the painting. In order to have a personal touch to it, I decided to have random arrangement of my 4 pictures which had different mood and when put together, it tells a story.

My final piece shows a series of 3 photographs of the same scene with a fourth picture which looks likea kelong in a dreamland. The mood that I wanted to portray in my final piece is sadness and loneliness.I wanted to make use of the 4 pictures to tell my audience a sad and lonely story.

The 3 photographs at the bottom corner show a sunset scene at a kelong which is my main focus of my final product. The reason why the 3 photographs are of the same scene is because I wanted to have a transition from the first photo to the third photo. The photographs changes from coloured to black and white to a illustrated version simply shows the sadness. From a beautiful, coloured sunset to a black and white sunset to memories which is portrayed by the illustrated version.

The first photograph, which is the coloured version, is the last frame of my movie. It is the scene after the lead actor and actress had to leave each other. That explains why there is a rock at the bottom corner of the photograph. It is to portray loneliness. If it is view in a video, the scene will slowly fades from colour to black and white and slowly to the illustrated version. I wanted to make use of this transition to tell my audience the time. When the coloured image fades to greyscale, it shows the period of time since it last happened. From greyscale to illustration shows that it has already became memories. As for the fourth picture, it shows more of my style, which are surrealism and graphic art. The mood I wanted to portray in thefourth picture is surrealism. It gives you a feeling that the place seems to be real yet does not exist. I putit after the illustrated piece is to further emphasize the time since it last happened. The scene of the breakuphappened so long that it will only appear in a dream. This explains why the colours and lighting are in this manner. The colour scheme i chose for the background is to signify the beach as it is the colours of sand. Thegraphic at the background is to show the waves of the seas and the birds that are always flying above the sea.
