UNIT 35: Tate Modern
Tate modern video installations
1. Projection by Andrea Fraser, 2008
· Brief explanation of what appeared on screen.
In Fraser's piece, Projection, a lone figure is speaking on a chair in an empty room on two separate
screens as one ends the other one begins to play using a projector in the middle of the room.
The figures differentiate between talking as a patient and a psychiatrist but the two screens
never follow the same conversation starting a new monologue when the others has ended.
Seats were placed in the middle of the two screens so the audience could feel like they were in the
conversations themselves playing the parts.
· Audience responses to the video art.
The audience was confused at first until they watched to two screens several times but
as they watched they noticed the pattern of the differentiating monologues and used the chairs to
become part of the installation.
· Reflect on your response to the video art and how it affected you as a viewer. Think about what you liked about the piece and what you found difficult or challenging.
I enjoyed how the piece was set out; instead of just putting down chairs for the audience to watch
the chairs were placed in the middle so the audience could immerse themselves in what was happening
although it was hard to understand what was going on at first because there was no context to the
'conversations' and thus following said conversations was hard.
2. First Woman on the Moon by Aleksandra Mir, 1999
3. Blue by Derek Jarman, 1993

UNIT 57: Rule of thirds
The rule of thirds is a technique that is used in a majority of photography and visual media products such as film posters and paintings.
The rule of thirds is used as a way for pictures and media products to show the main point of focus in a landscape that can be seen as 'busy'. A grid is used as a guideline so the user can clearly see where the rule of thirds is.
Each focus point in image has it's own placement in the rule of thirds. For example: If you wanted to take a portrait photo using the rule of thirds the eyes of the subject should be placed where the upper horizontal line meets the two vertical lines.
