I’ve ended up reconfiguring my plans for my major project – mainly just ditching my focus on the colour aspect of the whole thing. I had been interested in colour since the beginning of the semester, so I think I was probably trying to hold onto that interesting – while meanwhile I had actually become quite focused on the whole movement/subjectivity/objectivity/the thinking frame thing. So, now after reviewing some of the feedback from the panel, I’m going with that!
I was asked after my project proposal if I was going to use zoom and although I hadn’t been planning it, I was kind of asking myself why I wasn’t? When I thought about it, I think it makes sense why I wouldn’t – in some clips for my project I’m planning on emulating the human eye and/or using the camera as extension of the human body (or seeing if it can do these things in the first place) – and since our eyes don’t have zoom – I don’t think I would be using it. Also, the concept is more about following the subject if I want to get closer to them, as you actually would in real life – I think in this way this emulates the thinking frame? I’m not sure, I’m kind of rambling, but anyway, I’m not going to use zoom.
