week 4

• challenges this week 
• Particularly hard to focus and to narrow down the scene in to clear narrative, and show how the use of power is portray through constant manipulation. 
• successes this week

• develop effects and imagery for second screen 
• how these affect your progress toward the final completion
• this contributes to the second screen and its all five colours 
• research on editing, and films jump cut and transitions from earlier films from George Melies, to Jean Luc Godard. 

i developed the iris pattern through an aftereffects tutorial on youtube, 

it showed ideas for me to create the pattern through using fractal noise, sphere, and to incorporate other effects. 

 

as well as using different layering techniques that puts the video in to incorporate layers, as well as experimenting the hue and saturation of the clips to manipulate and try to create a feeling of depression. 

Through portraying traveling showing everyday life, though constant time running, it can show that time can be subjective especially when you are traveling alone.  The use of jump cut inspired by Jean luc godard and earlier pioneer of film like George Melies, which in operates jump cut as part of its illusion, as his background as a magician. His use of jump cut was used as a way to create illusion, it became an essential part of film as it provides transition and effects that manipulated the audience perception. However, later continuous editing appear where cuts were mostly hidden to create a illusion of constant motion with out any temporal disruption of time. In french new wave Jean Luc Godard uses this to particularly show the transition of time, and how time is experience subjectivity in everyday life. It was operated to show manipulation of time, imitating the blink of the eye, metaphors how time can shift in a blink of an eye that often memories are pieces we put together, and is fractured. 

No doubt, you are familiar with the "jump cut," even if you didn't know its name. Simply put, a jump cut is, "an abrupt transition, typically in a sequential clip that makes the subject appear to jump from one spot to the other, without continuity." Continuity in film and video is really an illusion, just like the essential mechanism behind film (i.e., a series of still pictures, projected at 24 frames per second to give the sensation of continual and life-like movement.) At the birth of cinema, most films were composed of one shot, and were essentially documentary, showing real life events. Some of the first examples of jump cuts occurred in the work of French magician and filmmaker Georges Méliès, who is credited as the "father of the jump cut," which he discovered by accident and first used as a special effect in his 1896 film, The Vanishing Lady. 

discuss with class mate some of my intentions and goal

use of material to categorise footage
may clips of one narrative pairing with another
tutor suggested to narrow down the emotions from six to five as 'Joy' cant be felt as a portrayal of a critic of capitalism.
therefore the anger, annoyed, excited, sad, and inspired were left.
furthermore Tutor also suggest to display the film final as a dual screen perspective which clearly shows the two screen side by side in order to have audience experience both screen while not viewed in an installation. 

i showed some of my footage from the second scene sad part combined with the second screen  but the narrative does not illustrate enough of my purpose as the story is loosely based off on an emotion and the ideas each colour and emotion represent. as feeling are felt subjectively that we share objectively in reality.
