From left to right, top to bottom: Coat hanging with stones in pockets - film camera crawling over bank, coat hanging stones in pockets with two shopping bags full of stones - two films put together, coat hanging stones in pockets with two shopping bags full of stones - film camera crawling over bank, two shopping bags full of stones - film camera submerging under water, rope and stones - film camera submerging under water, clothes folded and piled with other personal items - film camera submerging under water.
From doing this i realised that i didn't want some things to be directly obvious, for example the coat with the stones in the pockets. Out of all the items placed here, i found that the bags worked the best. It was commented on how because they had designs on them, that was a little distracting. Maybe next time i would try to get clear bags? However, people did mention how they could almost see themselves holding them as they were in the perfect slumped position. There was an absence here. Someone else also mentioned how the way they were positioned looked like the Scales of Justice, like in the commonly known Egyptian drawings, will they proceed onto a good afterlife? This is interesting to have with a scene of suicide as often, people believe that those who commit suicide do not go to heaven. So, overall, i believe that the only object that added anything were the bags. Once i have made my new film i will try projecting over this and see how it goes.
