Project: Video

Project: In groups of two, compose, shoot, and edit 4 videos each 2 minutes in length. Create a Still Center Film, Documentary, Narrative, and a film of non-sequitor images.

Our (Hayle and I) Project: Still in center) center the frame on the lake near the art building. Inspired by the color of the fish under the water. We started shooting stills of different areas of the lake and happened to find this one we really liked. Documentary) Idea started as documentary of my chinchilla in a formal manner, imitating shows on discovery or animal planet. One I took some day and night frames we sequenced the images but didnt see a narrative voice over really working. So we tried music and liked what we got. Narrative) This was a project Hayle suggested to me before the project even started. We knew it was something on the syllabus and started talking. She suggested film of her eating half her weight at the india cafe. We decided to film and see where it went from there. We filmed for awhile so we could play it back really fast and have the food on the plate disappear in a similar way a flower opens when film of it blooming is sped up. Non-Sequitor) We were set on the idea of each of us shooting our own then bring them together to see what we head. We set a theme of finding beauty in overlooked/ugly/negative things. Once sequencing our images we took the tone of them in account and chose some mellow piano music to play along.
