In consideration of feedback from assignment 2, I have been led towards further consideration of my practical exercise component and my overall satisfaction with such. It was pointed out to me that the most important vehicle for progression and thus audience engagement was the subject/actress selected. Although her demeanour is generally ordinary, the natural pace and ease of her behaviour came across as a highlight to the piece and thus divergence from her as a subject subtracted from the engagement of the audience and the perceived quality of the image presented. 

It is fair to say that the exercise is exhibiting little attempt to experiment with cinematic and/or production methods and concepts. This was exactly the case. However, such is also the reason for which this exercise was important as a first step towards finding pathways for the effective translation of my writing practise. It is for the reason of interest in the behaviour and movements of the individuals initially observed that I chose to write about them and I did so without any thought as to how my written representation of the event would then be recreated as a cinematic piece. I am interested in the ‘standard’ perception and understanding of human behaviour and demeanour and fascinated by how certain behaviours are normalised to the extent that they go unnoticed. There is a lost appreciation for beauty in these pure and overlooked events of everyday life. 

That said, I am concerned by my own belief in the lack of interest in such for the general public. Although I find these events to be captivating when noticed, I am aware that such may not be the case for others and am therefore hesitant to explore these events in full or in isolation of additional points of interest. As a consequence of this, I feel inclined to supplement these moments with further information, such as additional shots of the scene/setting. While this is somewhat discordant with previously described thoughts relating to lack of desire to pamper to an audience’s expectations, I feel that as I am still seeking out the most effective approach rendering an observation in a video form, in these early stages it is somewhat necessary to adopt more conventional approaches that address potential expectations of the audience, despite the fact that such may come at a compromise of artistic integrity.
