This Post is just an Idea of the kind of overlay we could use in our project, if we decide on having voiceovers. I think having this play over the top of visuals of the football oval/surrounding parks could create an interesting experience. The audience would be seeing the physical space I have chosen, while hearing me talk about my emotional connection to it, rather than just describe the place.
It would be interesting to see what the audience notices when certain things within the shot (and some extraneous things mentioned perhaps not even in the shots) are touched on and given emotional significance.
I miss the rush. Before I even go outside. The adrenaline. The later in the season the better. There isn’t really a comparable feeling in everyday life. Its cold out there, I could be terrible, what if they’re better, what if I get injured. So many thoughts race by, but the only one that lingers is “what if we lose”. Nothing feels worse. Is it strange to be driven by that? I love winning, but I hate losing more. Once I’m on the field, it all just falls away. The crowd is there, but you don’t really hear them. You still feel the adrenaline, but you aren’t thinking about winning or losing anymore. Not really. You’re just playing, and that’s what I miss. For an hour or two every week, nothing else matters. It just consumes you. The only thing that you think about, is getting to the next stoppage. Keep running. Run harder. Don’t drop this. Good lead. Great hit up. The moment you’re in is all you focus on. Your lungs feel like they’re going to burst but that doesn’t matter, because you need to keep going. If we won, it made my week. I’d feel great. If we lose, it hurts. If it was close, it takes days to get over it. If we lost a final, it took weeks.
