The main aim of this piece to show the mundanity of everyday life and the perpetual nature of it. This is the reason for the repetition, starting beginning in the same position.

ideas

Originally we planned to portray a mans journey from consciousness into a dream like hallucinatory state then back agin into consciousness. Due to the time constraints of the piece we came to the conclusion that we could carry out this idea to its full potential hence we decided adjust the piece in order to tighten the focus. This meant we place much more concentration to the details of this piece, having deeded to focus on the mans journey through mundane day to day routine.

This song conveys the frustration at the mundanity of everyday life something which our sense of space piece centres around thus it proved extremely when coming up with ideas on how portray these emotions through sound. the perpetual circle through which the lyrics take course was something which really stuck me as effective within the sung, this influenced my approach my own project as I aimed create a similar monogamous feeling within the piece.

This from porvided influence for the shot the shot construction upon displaying the human from within nature. I found the way in which the human from is portrayed extremely interesting and this naturally had an effect on my own work when portraying such things.



Sea Change- Joe King + Rosie Pedlow

This film contains an extremely innovative portrayal of place thus it inspired to thing of alternative ways of reproducing a setting from leave to its on screen form. I beleive it to be a very influential piece for both my project and for my personal development of a film maker.


Miranda July is an artists who has had an affect on me with regards this project, particularly her use of juxtaposition. She creates a wide ranges of ideas through innovative use of image and this something I attempted to apply to my own works with regards layering meaning.

PRE PRODUCTION-
During the pre production we through around various concepts and ideas over the course of the first week before we settled the ideas of nature as a destructive force. Once we had decided on this after  much deliberation I was able to delve deeper into the realms of research, loooking up films and other pieces of art in search of inspiration in the form of nature and destruction.
