(Linear) K-Film Inspiration
I viewed the K-Film Planet Galata (2010) to benefit from the ways in which Florian Thalhofer and Berke Bas utilised the software. As this is a type of linear film, it doesn’t directly apply to the structure of my major K-Film, but I can still learn from the techniques used. I found the description of ‘linear’ in the film description intriguing.
‘A linear film is a film that is exactly the same every time you look at it. Every scene is glued to each other once and forever. The concept of linear film is the result of technical limitations during pre-computer times’.
Red
- Insightful
- Personal
Black:
- A certain clip took a few minutes to load, which was too long
Yellow:
- Interchangeable interface
- Main window positioned on the left and the play head positioned on the right
- Background music track fading out after the clips play, easing the viewer from the clip back into the interface.
- The title text on the preview windows in capitals on the top left hand corner
- The preview windows had a darker exposure, making them less of a focus on the screen
- There was a soft piano sound that played after I clicked on the next preview window, before the following interface loaded. This formed a pattern of sounds, linking together the clips.
- Narration and clips of footage of the surrounding areas broke up the talking head single shot interviews, making it visually interesting.
- Slow Motion preview windows
Green:
- Some interfaces contained too many preview windows surrounding the main window, making it difficult to focus. Perhaps there could be fewer preview windows in the interfaces.
- One of the interfaces contained a main window that was the same size as the surrounding preview windows therefore it was almost lost amongst the preview options.
