Collaboration class #11: The one

The one

Week 11

 1. Using the student exhibition as an example, describe an aspect of your work or something you have worked on, where you have found a symbiotic relationship that is both complexity and simplicity?

Within the walking shots. Its seems like its would be easy as its just someone's feet walking. But the complexity arises when we want to merge each walking frame into another and have either 3 or 4 feet walking at the same pace and all within screne frame. When people are different shapes and sizes it makes it difficult on another level again. There is always alot more to take into account than first percieved. 

  

2. Provide a conceptual example of a situation that has arisen during this project where you have had a return on failure? 

I am yet to see a failure return for us. I predict that there will be a few dodgey shots that we can fix up and stabilize to use If we are pressed for time and cannot afford to film anymore and need to go into edit mode.

3. Provide a short explanation and example of how FAILURE can be turned around using the law LEARN. Describe how this relates to the TIME law. 

Failure is the easiest way to learn. Having a catastrophic failure can ensure that you will never do it again. Time also has to be considered when thinking of failure , because if you failed repeatedly but gained small improvements, you could begin to see how close you were to success and whether it is acheivable and worth the time and effort.


Some amusing examples of failure.

The project  is still running on schedule. We have spent a lot of time doing practice shots for the more difficult scenes, we just need to finalize those shots and do some more filming.
The filming process is estimated to be finished by week 13 at the latest and will commence video editing day and night.

This is a video with some film editing tips and advice.

This video is some information on video editing. Something very relevant to what I am doing now.

Describe your contribution to the exhibition in relation to TWO of the laws.

Learn: I have tried to learn as much as I can about the other people in the class and in my group. I remembered the failures we had and wasted time spent, and have learnt from that. I have learnt a lot of technical aspects in film, and surprisingly alot about human psychology and interaction.

Emotion: I have been thinking about the video and how the characters will best convey emotion. They need subtle expressions and relaxed composures. The music will feed the veiwer with the most emotion, which has been quite hard to make, as I am usually into my heavy rock music and atmospheric dark stuff. The type of music i am going for is really out of my comfort zone, although I would like it to be in it.
