Banksy's "Exit Through the Gift Shop"

     In Banksy's "Exit Through the Gift Shop", Thierry Guetta, a man who constantly has a video camera with him, starts recording his everyday life with his family. He progresses into filing street artist as they post there art on walls and buildings across the city. He finally ends up meeting Banksy and together they become a team.
     The elements in this film that are believable are the real footage that Thierry shot. You can see that Thierry recorded everything that he has ever done and it doesn't look fake at all. He used his camera to make his own history and eventually got together to make a documentary with all of his footage.
     Elements that are not believable would be the fact that Banksy appears in the film but you never see his actual face. With this in reason, you can never actually know if it is Banksy or not, you can only see the black hooded man in the documentary.
     The morale purpose of this documentary was to show a way of describing how street art appears out of know where, and also trying to think of who the real Banksy is and what he does.

Comic 
(PROJECT #4)





     For my comic I decided to do a story about a person who is blind. I made the face out of orange water color and eventually as time goes on little eyes start to appear, but not in the persons actual eye socket. Eventually as more eyes appear on the persons face and background, a blue watercolor starts to form which resembles the person gaining his or hers sight back. At the end of the comic, the person gains his or her sight and finally gets eyes in the eye socket.


Long vs Short
(PROJECT #2)





     For my long vs short assignment, I decided to created a mold of my hand out of plaster and then cover it with the elements of nature, such as tree bark. The short sequence is the hand, and how human life does not last forever. The long sequence is the bark, because it represents nature which always remains. The glue that I used to add the bark gave it a sappy look which made my piece look very old and dead. If I were to change anything of it I would make it look more lively 


Time Map
(PROJECT #1)



     For my Time Map, I decided to create a 3D spinning plate that has images on the inside of a person smoking. As you spin the object, you can see the figure smoking and then puffing the smoke out and the back to smoking, creating an endless map.


Sequential Movement
(PROJECT #5)





For my assignment I decided to do a drawing of a hot air balloon man waving his arm up and down while the background changes. I felt that it was simple yet interesting. If I could change anything I would want to make it a little bit cleaner and maybe more well done.
