Introduction and Question for Research Module

Question: Using context and the creation of worlds to communicate feelings and emotions.

For the research module the question I will be exploring is how artists or creators uses context or the creation of their worlds to communicate emotions and feelings, through various methods such as colours, composition, cinematography, photography, setting and characters (including subject matters). I will be analysing the methodologies that these artists/creators use to generate visual imagery that conveys the sense of one or multiple emotions in their imaginary or semi-realistic worlds.

Throughout this module I will try to tie in various emotions and feelings that I have personally been through as I will have a much better understanding (as the creator) of my experiments. Films, Photography and Animation is where I will also be looking into to explore how those worlds uses settings or subject matters affect what emotions the audience perceive and its representations through visual language.

Areas I will be looking into in terms of artists/creators:

Graphic novel

Photographer

Film Maker/Director

Poetry/Literature

Painter

I will conduct several experiments (under each artist/creator) and exploring how they approach or produce their visual imagery and I would then expand on them by creating a new set of experiments, using different methods or approaches, to see if it have a different impact in terms of how we perceiving emotions. Then I will conclude with a final piece that will inform my experiments as a whole that will communicate an emotion that I have personally been through (as I will have a full understanding of that emotion).
