After importing our experimental footage filmed from last week into première Mitch and I both decided that it wasn’t up to our standards. It was rubbish. Literally, it was videos of rubbish.
We borrowed a SONY EX3 Camera and shot something completely different. Our problem last time heading outside and not really knowing what we wanted to capture. This time around we picked one thing to focus on and then shot it in different ways. The idea was partly inspired by Hilary Harris’ Longhorns and Nine Variations on a Dance Theme. Both, he films a singular movement but from different angles and with different camera techniques. We decided to shoot a water feature on Bowen St. Instead of just framing the entire water feature, we framed parts of it and shot it separately. In post-production I then edited it so these parts come together to display the water feature in its entirety. I used one audio recording for the full video to create a sense of continuity and repetition. Unlike Hilary Harris’s work it did not contain much camera movement as I believed that movement of the water was enough. I believe this is a vast improvement on our original idea for exercise 3B.
