Now into week 11 the overall project is beginning to take some sort of shape, with my research question and now thesis continuing to develop from the results of my filming and editing. The projects development has continued greatly with my latest experiment, which essentially is me putting together and cutting the scene from the second shoot, similar to what I did with the first experiment with several variations. Visually I focussed on cutting a chronological scene from beginning to end, with Jordan’s ‘character’ entering the waiting room and reading the dictionary he has been analysing. With my character entering later and watching, wondering what Jordan’s ‘character’ was doing reading a dictionary, similar to when I saw the man on the train reading the English grammar book. However a major way I altered the edit compared to the first experiment, was instead of have the audio/Vox pops as the focus almost, that gives depth to the action on screen, I made the mise en scene the focus and driving force of the scene. The soundtrack to this experiment was just a mixture of foley SFX that I recorded of phones ringing, footsteps, keyboard typing etc, to give an office waiting room feel to support the mise en scene. While the action and human interaction between Jordan and my characters was the focus on how people can react physically and mentally, to the very interesting situation of isolation and being out of place that Jordan’s ‘character’ is in. I honestly felt this was just as interesting of an experiment as the first was but for different reasons. They both gave me a similar emotion response of amazement and admiration, however the first experiment felt like more of a documentary scene with a dramatic retelling. Whereas this latest experiment felt like a dramatic scene out of a film, with both having altered approaches, but also continuing to develop my thesis further. I look at the experiments I have done and see that I have been able to manipulate certain emotional responses from the scenes with different technical filmmaking elements in shooting and editing etc. Also, the situation I have filmed is to me about isolation and feeling out of place, however it is clear to me that it is perspective based and many people can take away different meanings from both of the experiments. Though I will continue to use my filming and situation as my structure to this project, but I have slightly altered my thesis in progress of my discoveries, to show that people look at situations on their perspective, but I can use filmmaking techniques to alter and manipulate those emotions. Emotion and meaning behind situations in its most basic form, can be greatly influenced by perspective. However filmmakers can influence and manipulate those emotions with the many technical aspects of filmmaking.
