For this experiment I feel I could have applied myself a little more. When it came to the sound and photography experiments I was excited to try new things and navigate the different adobe functions to create the work. With this experiment I struggled to figure out what to focus my short film on and think I might have misread the focus of the footage leading to my film most likely not capturing the idea we were meant to convey.
“The Earth now sustains billions of inhabitants, all of whom have physical needs and material desires. The result is that those dimensions of the Earth that encapsulate something like continuity- particular landscapes, specific biota- are increasingly circumscribed and infiltrated”.( Rust, S, Monani, S, Cubitt 2012)
When I spent a bit of time breaking down this quote it was interesting to consider the ways humans do tend to take something with continuity and scramble it to strip the earth for its materials.
Some suggestions that were brought up when receiving peer feedback was the way I could manipulate the environment I am focussing on to create different feelings around the work and what it is presenting. An Idea that sparked my particular interest was using the holes in the leaves of plants to create windows and a sense of being apart of the small and quiet spaces in the environment.
