This week I’ve done something potentially limiting and may have made a poor creative choice. Unfortunately I won’t be in class to get feedback on it either.

However, as it stands I made the choice knowing it was unconventional and limiting, and made it anyway.

For the four speed clips, I have taken one, 1 minute long clip of my a friend of mine, and have used this for all four of the different clips and their different requirements. I did this by splicing and speeding up and slowing down sections of the one clip.

As a result all of the clips are almost identical both aesthetically and with their content. In each though the action of the subject is a little different, though in some clips I have used the same pieces twice.

Here is the slow clip, one shot.

Here is the slow clip, multiple shots.

Here is the fast clip, one shot.

It might have been a poor choice to have such similar clips for all four categories, but I made the choice because I wanted to explore the beauty and the aesthetics of the movement and expressions of the subject. As a result of having such similar clips I have really focused on these elements of the film and the way that the speed of the film alters our interpretation of these elements. And that’s what I wanted to explore and why I chose to do it this way.
