Overview

The main problem I had with this project was finding a video artist that appealed to me. In the end I think what I did was mainly based my final piece on artists who were not video artists, but who I could relate to and this was the best possible way I feel I could've reacted to this project.

In all honestly, the actual media doesn't have a large impace on me, and although I did enjoy making my film and felt it was successful, I couldn't find many other forms of the same art that interested me. I think this is probably due to the fact that there actually aren't many video artists, and they are much more difficult to research.

When I come to paint or print for example, I often already have an idea of the artist I want and have one in mind already, as they have sometimes inspired the work. Although I did take inspiration from many artists I have already mentioned and did like a number of the pieces, I still chose to do something completely different rather than build on others ideas as I would've done in paint.

This is not to say that what I have done was completely original. I am aware the idea itself quite common but I felt I wanted to make something relevant to myself and my life.
