Week4 Response

 
Hello, these are my photos relating on framing. Some of them were taken months ago. So, it means that I  have done active and passive framing unconsciously. I tried to remember why I do passive and active framing on different or same objects. Then I got the conclusion. 

In active framed photos, something is emphasized and weakens the surrounding environment. I do it because, I want to shoot something clearly.

In passive framed photos, observers will move their eyes because there is no obvious emphasis. Just like landscape photos, there is the overall beauty from the sky to the sea, as well as the detailed beauty from clouds to waves.

Of course, there are some photos that I can't quite determine whether it is an active or passive frame. I put two at last. Please see the end if you are interested in analysis. 

In addition, the framing idea remind me a video. I think it actively framing a lot.

At Halloween in AC.


I changed the pot for mint. Definitely, you can know what's going on on passive framed photo.


In the candle shop near LU.

I took a walk in downtown and found this statue. It looks like a camel.

I saw a bird in fog weather on the LU bridge. It was so tiny. I don't know why my eyes are so acute. I went to it very slowly so I took a close photo. 

The first one was in an elevator, and the second was in the candle shop. They are different not only because frame passively or actively, but also because the direct or indirect light sources. 


These two, I don't know whether they are active or passive. If they are active, why other things interrupting in? If they are passive, why I still know the focus. Are they in the middle? Also, I think the mirror have a double framing effect in the first one. And, the light and shadows reming me the window and the cup outside the frame. 




The active framed video which made me feel like eating poisonous mushrooms, or like being hit by magic.

IMAGE & INTENTION: A MESSAGE WITHOUT A CODE

   I selected this photo when I was organizing my photos. It doesn't have textual message. SO,  it is doubtless necessary to go back to partially illiterate societies, to a sort of pictographic state of the image. Image Illustration: ➡️ Symbolic message: an old garden. (A lot of plants in pots, wild cats, and concrete ground). An old garden with mice. ➡️ Connoted message: The garden was highly possibile built in the 1950s, and it is located in an area most likely in southern China. The manager of the garden was most likely elderly. The largest plant, it is called sago palm whose academic name is Cycas Revoluta . It is wildly planted in southern China, or in southern Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia.  Sago palm's HISTORY BACKGROUND : During China's economic difficulties (1958-1962), when there was a famine in many places, farmers in the area where the sorrel originated dug up the roots of the tree to remove the toxic ingredients and then made starch fo...

Project 2 New Media Intermediate

"The birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the Author." （P148 | IMAGE - MUSIC - TEX） I want to agree. Readers take procession while reading. That comes the phrase “there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes“.  Everyone has different experiences in their situations, and the characters, emotions, and situations they can empathize with are also different. Even if similar situations are encountered, the degree and attitude may vary greatly due to personal and background reasons. Since the author is not writing for himself, he must accept this fact. In fact, a book that allows readers to interpret it differently is a good book. It can spark a lot of discussion. These discussions can lead to the regeneration and dissemination of this book in various ways. I don't have to worry about this issue when I think of my final project. I don't really want to show it to others, the content is very personal. For me, what I see in meaningful photos i...
