IDEA PROGRESSION - CONFUSION

After discussing with Shirley, my tutor for this project, I have thought much more indepth about what I will be doing. I'm not sure exactly what it is about yet but taking inspiration from Utatane by Rinko Kawauchi I will be adding shots together of quite random things to bring a piece together.

When originally thinking what I could do I had this vision of an egg breaking and frying. I was very confused about what this could really be about but I had this visual in my head. I also had the idea of running a shot of myself throughout the video piece.

When thinking into this more I thought about how these shots together could be quite confusing and thought that potentially this is what my film could be about. I thought about the idea of mixing up the sounds and how this could work well to add to this idea of confusion. With this idea the majority of film effects will be put together in post production and really I won't be able to see fully what it will be like until it comes to that stage.

In a recent tutorial we discussed the shots that could be added with the egg shot that I had already filmed (I filmed it close up which gave it an almost abstract quality, you knew what it was but actually you had never looked at this process in such a way, it makes you look at it in less of a way that you normally would, much further from normality). We discussed some of the other shots that had been filmed (the gas cooker turning on, and washing up - filmed mostly for the sounds) and how they could work with other shots. We talked about lights, still space - all filmed within the confines of my house, mixed together with close up shots of myself - eyes, back of my head etc. We also discussed how pace would play quite a big part in this project, perhaps the slow running of water dripping down contrasting with the sounds of the fast paced gas cooker turning on. It will have a really interesting effect and I can imagine it would change your emotions and feelings while watching the piece.

I need to produce a lot of shots and this should be done on impulse to have a greater effect. Intuition rather than planning it too much... Seeing what works and what doesn't.
