Helicopter: With this one i decided that the lights within the film looked as though a helicopter was searching for someone. I believe that this works well when watching this piece. I get the unnerving feeling that someone is being sort after. That you, the audience, has to keep still as you may be the person they are looking for. Maybe this piece would work well with breathing noises? As though you have been running and now you are still, trying to calm your breath as they search over you.
What would be the effect of a still photograph but with noise?? This is definitely something to consider.
Deafening noise: I felt that for this piece, because the lights/ trees are blurry that it might work well to have a painful noise to go with it, a VERY high pitched noise. What i found was a dog whistle sound that i feel works best, well that i could make. The impression on me that this piece gives is something like that you have been hit on the head, your vision is blurry and there is a painful ringing sound in your ear. So now we have gone from being the person who is being searched for, to the victim.
Heart Beat: This is actually someone breathing, a sound clip that i found. Whilst i was filming this one, i moved the light source in time to my breathing. I wanted to gain an idea of someone stood still, breathing - possibly out of fright. This breathing movement also adds something to the forrest, it presents an idea of the woodland being alive - it has its own beat and rhythm.
Silence Slow: I wanted to test out slow motion with no sound. I believe this works alright as you are really dependant on what you are seeing, you are now trying to make out shapes and figure out what it is that you are looking at.
Silence Even Slower: The clue is in the title really. I believe that the film could work even better for being slower. To cause that confusion that makes you start to question whether you are watching a film or a photograph. I prefer this one to the one before, silence slow, as it has more visual appeal to it . However this really shows the low quality of the camera. However, it is due to the disjointed nature of this film that you get the sense that it may have been filmed on a CCTV camera. This then brings for its own connotations.
Over all i think HELICOPTER and SILENCE EVEN SLOWER are the two from this process that have the most interest with them. Helicopter because i think that from it i will play with adding sound to a photograph. Silence too presents this idea of being watched.
Even though these worked well as an initial thing they will need a great deal more work when it comes to filming them. The camera quality is really not as high as i would like, and it just leaves fuzzy moving pictures, which is not what i want when trying to create a photograph like feel!! Also, if i am to move light again in the film, i would do it even slower so that i dont have to choose the slow down button when editing the films as this just makes every frame by frame move visible. Also, if i do want things dark and i cant get a good enough film camera to do this, i may look to editing my films greatly by changing the colour scale once filmed. Or this problem may just mean that i am just unable to not take my work into film, and need to keep it in photography.
