With the majority of my filming done I’ve spent most of my time in the edit suites working on experiments and piecing my footage together in different ways. I’ve been doing this to see if my reactions, emotions or impressions of the piece change in any way. At the suggestion of Paul I did a voice over recording literally explaining the origin of my project filming, me seeing the man on the train and me being unable to film on an actual train. I reworked my footage from all of my shoots in a short 1 minute collaboration over it. I liked it, however I thought that adding a shot of myself sitting on a train would also be quite interesting and ironic. I got on a somewhat empty carriage and discretely filmed myself sitting on a train and just looking around. I put that shot at the start and at the end of the collaboration footage to kind of lead into what I was talking about. I felt as though this experiment had in many ways a deeper impact than the others for several reasons. Firstly I felt as though connecting the different shoots together added an element of continuity and depth, in the sense that Jordan’s ‘character’ isn’t in a one off situation and it almost developed an story for him. I thought it was really interesting that these seemingly mundane shots and scenes, created more of a connectivity when it was explained where it all came from. However I would have liked to maybe do one more scenario shoot where I could add a little more depth to the ‘character’ in another situation such as those I already shot. However after this experiment and with some time to reflect, I feel as though my ‘thesis’ needs to be reworked, as it seems a bit generic, and not quite getting to the point I’m trying to make. My last ‘thesis’ attempt came across as though all situations demand an emotional response, however I don’t feel that’s the case, nor the point I was trying to make. Seemingly mundane situations in their most basic form, may or may not cause any emotional response. However emotions can be influenced and manipulated with the many technical aspects of filmmaking.
