WEEK #11 BLOG POST 

How did your group try to use perspective and/or depth of field in both the video footage and sound footage?

What did you discover through this exercise?

How might your group use these discoveries in the work you’re producing for the exhibition?

What are the next steps for your group work following the consults in class on Friday?

Upon the beginning of this exercise I was honestly left a bit confused, this is something that I had not considered before, which is what I enjoy so much about these weekly exercises, that they urge me to think and explore new practices. Needing to consider varying shot sizes with different camera angles in relation to sound depth was quite interesting. In addition, thinking about the distance from the source of the sound, the sound/noise ratio and how these might help evoke the experience of being within the body was found to be quite a beneficial exercise. Focussing on sound in relation to space bettered the viewers understanding of volume/ capacity and the experience of a body move and interact within that. 

Regarding how we may utilise these discoveries for the work we are producing, we intend to focus quite heavily on sound production. In addition, learning of these new techniques will help with how we will focus on sound yet in relation to space/ environment. 

The next step for our group following what we had discussed in our consults is primarily our organisation. We’ve conceptualised, narrowed down an overarching theme, constructed our narrative and now we need to organise a shot list and shooting timetable. We are finding it quite difficult to align our schedules, however, we are trying our very best to make it work.
