ROLL THE TAPESÂ
For my final project, I decided to take classic movie tropes and find them in real life. From the romance to the comedy, picture-perfect moments are never too hard to find. Life imitates art as art imitates life.Â
In my project, I took five iconic movie scenes and moments and utilized the medium of my own photography and memories in my life in order to emit the same feelings as the stages cinema moment could. The best part about doing this project is that some of the photos I was able to capture and bring to this project are candid. This really takes the realism of movie moments happening in real life.
For every movie moment or troupe, there is a photo juxtaposed next to the actual cinema scene that is of my own work. Below the photo diptych, there is a video of the scenes from the movie to fully understand the words said and the context around the photos and the moments on screen. There is also a written explanation given of why the photo is important to me and why the pictures and grabs from the films match up so well in my mind and on paper.Â
