Standpoint- Culture & Context
Culture and
context refers widely to all processes influencing human lifestyle in general. In
my stop motion film I am intending to explore the ideals behind culture and
context but specifically the idea of development and adaptation of culture.
Through my brainstorm I have expressed the aspects that I have found abruptly
important in relation to culture and context and have used these as a backboard
to develop what I feel best portrays culture and social influences. I have decided to show “A new way of seeing”
in abstract form by showing the paths of personal identity through people who influence culture. Without identity we would all be duplicates of
one another, causing no new ideas and for world to never move forward. My stop motion will begin with a person
wearing a paper bag with cut out eyeholes; I have used this concept as my
starting point I wish to communicate the idea of how we as humans all start as
a blank canvas and as we travel through life we define our individual
personalities from what we experience. Once the bag is ripped off I will then
continue to stop motion quotes of famous people that have gone before such as gandhi showing change of situation. I will reflect the mood through lighting the colour use of the paint for
example black expressing dark periods of time. I will incorporate my quote “A new way of seeing “on the hand of my model to connect it with the idea that we as humans are a new way of seeing ourselves. I chose this as my stop motion influence as it
can be bridged both to the development of personal identity and also the
development of cultural identity through the ages. Instead of the paint referring to personal
crisis it can reflect social negativities or progress of humanity. As part of
my research I have explored people that have had considerable influence on
human culture itself such as Mahatma Gandhi, and as a result found my concept
for my stop motion film.
