another one so soon? yes.
Andy Warhol's Empire Film is rather quite beautiful. It is a film of the Empire state building that has been filmed over 9 hours. There is hardly any movement, but the slight blemishes in the camera make it slightly haunting yet mesmerising. Your heart beat almost stills to the pace of the film, you become consumed by it.
On reflection of my last film, i believe there to be too much movement. I want her to be still as possible, and the only movement to be there, perhaps the rising of her chest as she breaths or the blinking from her eyes - is that too much?
I want it to be ordinary, benign but at the same time so distant. Is she alive or dead? Did you just see movement?
In one of my films i just focused on the feet, and Gillian asked if i had seen trouble with Harry, by Hitchcock. I hadn't, but there is the reoccurring theme of looking at peoples feet close up.
We spoke about other ways to film as i want to be able to film the body from side on, to be moving up the body on the floor. But to do this on premier would require tracking and technology things that i don't understand! Gillian suggested that i project the film onto a wall and then film that and move my camera then, when i have a complete film. I will hopefully try this out this week!
