Masquerade Masks

So going back to the thoughts of masquerade masks, here are a few of the images that are included in this section of my project.

I went on to experiment through these images I had created. Photoshop was a great tool to use with manipulating images.

Most of the research and ideas that have occurred so far throughout the project have been effects of alcohol through the time of actual drinking. What about the next day? The hangover?
• How you feel
• What your thoughts are
• The way you act, how you were the day/night while drinking
• The pain
• The memory or either the memory loss
• Sickness
‘What did I do last night?’
How often has that question been asked by people who had been drinking excessive amounts of alcohol? Poisoning the brain. The feelings and thoughts the next day..
Here are some images from a nightclub I manage to capture on a night where I wasn’t drinking any alcohol. I was watching the different patterns of lights and colours and also watching others.

Below is one image out of the few from my sketchbook on just experimenting really, cutting up and putting images of the masks I had taken with pictures from clubs and gigs. Seeing how they can be merged together.

'Thoughts/Notes'

[CLUBS] – Bright Lights – Flashing Images (strobe lights) – People Dancing – People Under The Influence – Laughter – Moving Of Bodies – Moving Of The Arms – Waving – Dehydration – Movement & Alcahol – Makes you do things you can regret – Next day Hangover.

[GIGS] – Gigs are slightly a bit different to clubs but not alot. Watching a live band there’s Movement- Sweat – Heat – Drinking/Consumption of Alcohol - Dehydration – Different feeling to being in a club – Cant hear anyone else but the band and crowd – Also has big flashing lights as do clubs. Music has an effect. It’s an influence in itself.
