Todays class showed the remainder of the project brief 2 videos. I really liked how people had experimented with the representation of people i a place. My video was about the space itself but others had activated their sites and made them living, moving, breathing places with malleable and transformative elements. Some had shown a physical projection of a person in the place while others used movement of subject matter or the camera to depict a living person behind the camera in an almost documentary style. This had given their pieces another layer and additional level for the audience to relate to it. People start to consider not only the place itself but the ways in which it can be inhabited or utilised. Old discarded objects such as boots, bike wheels, spray cans and couches may seem like junk but also cause us to question where they came from, what their history is, how they came to be there and what stories and memories they contributed to. In my videos I wish I had been more creative with editing. I could have experimented with tempo more as well as altering colours, the speed of clips, rewinding clips, overlaying them and using other methods to make a more visual and artistic piece rather then a basic, straightforward documentation.
