Development Blog Post 2-Unfamiliar Noticing

On wednesday’s class of week 3, Andy (my partner for assessment 2) and I began to discuss ideas for how we might go about filming the 2 minute video. This was after Andy and I had decided on our two separate locations, one being my route to work along Elizabeth St, and another being the South Melbourne Market, where Andy spends lots of his time. I was very intrigued about what types of footage each of us were going to capture, to see if I would notice aspects to my route to work I have never noticed before, through Andy’s eyes. We deliberated for quite sometime during that lesson to agree on a recipe for filming and recording what we will see in an interesting way. Therefore the recipe we did decide to stick to was this one;

Ingredients

  • Audio recorder
  • Video recorder
  • Note of the things

Steps:

  • 4x 5 second potrait video of you moving around the space
  • 6x 5 second landsape videos of people moving around in the space
  • 15 second audio recordings of people talking, shop venders, customers etc.
  • 2 second recordings off the food that we are interested in
  • videos of the food we eat
  • 4 second videos fo interesting things we notice.
  • 1x 2minĀ  central audio recording of the area we decide in our respective places is the most central part of the place

We thought that this specific recipe would capture what we will see in a unique way visually, including a variety of portrait and landscape shots as well as using still footage and hand help walking shots. We are both interested in food, so to capture any food we come across was an idea that stood out to us. And recording one 2 minute sound clips each of atmosphere ambiance from each location is something that really sets the scene for our footage and also can allow viewers to notice more about a space that may not necessarily be in the footage. Therefore I am interested to see what footage and sound we will capture in each of our locations using this recipe, as well as seeing if our footage and sound are similar or very different.
