HNC Project - film

I started by thinking about the idea of banning words in places where we have freedom of expression and how that works, I played around with a few ideas on how to do this and decided to try and use film where words are being taken out the mouth and put back in.

I decided to try this in black and white because i felt it had a better feel to it. 

I took a bunch of shots of Kevin with different banned words, i used the X for symbolism, i think its adds a little something especially in black and white.  I tried to think about how i used symbolism in my collages using this theme:

I deiced to use this as a base line and experiment around it. I wanted to try adding sound to this one and i decided to take free audio of a speech about social placement and splice it up using the bits i liked the best. I also added a free sound clip of a beat to go along with it.

i played around with over lays and different effects over the top of a running film.

I added some filler to see how it would look of footage i took of myself from a below angel. I think it works better with a clip of the words, then something else then back to words.

I had to remember to cut the audio from the original footage so it would not overlap. 

I really like how this is starting to form, i love the sound i made i wanted to make it longer and add some other thought out clips. Keep using this as a base to experiment with.

I wanted to add something to do with distortion and seeing or vision so i started thinking back to my collages and my photography and i remembered photos made of wine glasses distorting the paintings of dots i had done.

I decided to film my face through water to see if i could use the symbolism of distortion this way.

I then used the same audio to make a new film in between the words. 

I also took the shot of Kevin with the words in closer.

I ended up with this...

.

I then added the audio from the older footage I feel this works a lot better, i am pretty happy with this but i feel this is a theme running through most of my units - this year feels like one big unit to me.

This took so long to edit. I will present this to the class and talk about the unit.
