So far, with this new idea that I’ve been brainstorming of squash and recreating the experience of playing squash, trying to work out how to film lingering on work with the material that I have currently filmed

so far I have

  • filmed movement by lingering on the subject
  • filmed with a tripod

my current ideas are to

  • create a Korsakow file of all the lingered movement, allowing the subject to interact with the space of a squash court
    • recreate a squash scene DIY- from the sound up
  • highlighting the sound, with the intention of creating a delay in the sound to explore the importance of the sound, perhaps making use of some of the motifs I learnt while doing sound design as well

I would say this then will amount to two parts to make up a whole, for the assignment in all its parts, with one part being something created in Korsakow, and another part being a short audiovisual piece

I think one such video I am considering creating is one that seeks to prove the importance of the sound in squash, via perhaps exploring how it feels to put audio and video on delay. I recently learnt about the theoretical sound framework, synchresis, which refers to the spontaneous mental fusion between a sound and the video that it is presented with. I feel like this lopsided video of audio on delay could be offputting in it’s essence, but i really do want to explore it.

I will make a 1 minute video, of a short edited sequence in which the sequence is repeated, each time the sound is delayed more, I think this will be interesting. This in a way to perhaps be similar to Scattered Squash, but without the erratic video element
