Attending this weeks group assessment on the k-films which we made was quite enlightening as I got to watch the films which my other group members made. I was with Lauren, Tiana and Kevin. I enjoyed watching the others films, and in particular, I really liked the way Tiana recorded her sketch tasks. It wasn’t a simple matter of pointing the camera at something and hitting record. It was clear she thought about how she wanted to record something and did so in a very aesthetically pleasing way.
Seth asked us towards the end of the session if there was a way we could find more meaning between our videos so that they weren’t just a random bunch of videos linked with simple key words such as ‘square’ or ‘light’. When we were recording our videos, we were unaware that we were going to be using them to create a k-film, and so, most of them looked like a random bunch of videos put together. I literally only used two keywords, which were shapes, or not shapes. I guess with our final film we will have to think more about meaning than just what we are seeing.
Also, I used quotes from songs, which I didn’t reference the singer for. And the lengths of the sentences need to be relatively short to make them easier to read.
