Cardboard city evaluation

For our cardboard city project we had to create a time based media piece which was avideo of what we explored and experimented with such as creating a fort and pyramid with the cardboard boxes that we were given as well as creating a cardboard city scene with our cardboard boxes that we had cut up, re- shaped and decorated to look like parts of barnsley or just buildings from our creative minds. The research we undertuck was about artists such as Jonathon Borofsky and Christian Boltanski and how they used time based media in thier work, Boltanski was our main influence for our time based media video as he created a piece called theatre d'ombre which translates to the theatre of shadows which was about the children of the holocaust and they're memories, this was one of our main focuses. With this project our main medias we used were our cameras from our phones as this would give us the images to create our final video but along the way we used a sort of cling film material to create a stain glass window effect, we have used pens to draw a stop motion scene on the windows of the college and we have used the cardboard boxes along with paint and pencils to create our scenes from our cardboard city strip. With our final video i think it was a good final outcome but i think icould have added a little more like a voice over or some better images or a time lapse video but over all the final outcome was a good standard to me. With the project i handled my time pretty well, a few things were late being handed in but over all i handled my time well. With this project i think it was something i wouldn't think about doing it again as i didn't really enjoy it but if i had to do it agian i would do my best to make it a decent piece.
