ITAP LECTURE 6

Interpretation

Different artists interpret things in different ways. The time and place has great effect on the production. For example, the film 'Alice in Wonderland' has been interpretated in many different ways over the years. These are 2 examples of different interpretations. The first image shows the Walt Disney version made in 1951. This is a very child - friendly version and was seen as one of Disney's finest productions. It shows magical creatures and doesn't make them too scary been as the target audience is young children. The second image shows the newest version of Alice in Wonderland made by Tim Burton in 2010. The characters in this film are much more exaggerated and extraordinary which not all children would understand and may find quite frightening. It is also more lifelike as it is made with real actors in make-up however it is still very make-believe and magical. This is made in a more modern time now more children watch less cartoons and more realistic, animated type of films. The kind of things children find scary has also changed since the Disney film was made so the director was able to direct it to adults as well as children.

Testing

Artists test their work by sharing it on blogs, websites, galleries, social websites etc. This is an example of a page on Kate Morross' blog where she posts her work to become more well known and make her work recognised. Also by posting work on a blog you can get people's comments and reactions on your work. This way you know if you are communicating messages clearly and if people are understanding your work and finding it interesting. It is one of the best ways to make yourself and your work popular and if someone sees your work and likes it they will most likely remember your name and pass it on to other people.
