Pitch Bible: Expanded Research

Pitch Bible Development Research

March 2017

To broaden my understanding I decided to stretch myself and research other medias and how they are visualised, to possibly apply these to my own work. I watched the theatre show ‘City of Glass’ and took part in the art exhibit ‘Rock Art’. These were two different events which I would not normally attend; however I believe these have been beneficial experiences, developing my understanding of the art world today.

From the ‘City of Glass’ I learnt about effects, and how they can be used effectively, this was shown by the amazing use of projectors and lights to portray time and thoughts. Of course being in a theatre this is effective as you gain a new visual dimension of the character. I intend to develop my own work in this way; to impress and show this in a new and engaging way.

I did not enjoy the Rock Art event, it was not impressive but I could understand what the work was about. The theme of collaboration caught my interest as part of the exhibit was a functioning club which featured speakers, artists and musicians the artist knows. This made me think on how to portray a theme or idea, how would I do that? Would the audience understand what I’m trying to communicate? However I did enjoy browsing the artist’s personal collection of comics and graphic novels he had collected over the past 40 years. I contemplated about how difficult it must be to stand out amongst other artists, seeing the comics and thinking how to stand out on the shelf.
