Synopsis:
The protagonist trying to balance in through two different environment , whereas in the inside, he is quite limited with his body movements but on the outside environment, he is more open to try new things such as acrobatics and breakdancing.
When I was filming the outside landscape, it sort of help me to allow to explore different ways to try and find balance, since the landscape was bigger than an indoor one, it certainly allowed me to move more freely and wasn’t restricting. In a way this allowed me to feel more relaxed and open to more possibilities with what my body can do. The shots recorded ranged from mid shots to long shots to some close ups as well. In terms of sound, I kept it to only what I recorded on the spot.
I think what worked well was the way I edited the pieces together and how the video itself also balances itself and showing the different environment and the emotional pull it has to the audience. I think what didn’t work well was the fact it was hard to think of an idea or storyline. As I was filming, it felt quite random and didn’t really make sense with what I was doing.
In the reading ‘Embodied action, enacted bodies: The example of Hypoglycaemia’ was fact that the author explains that the body is both an object and an a subject as well. How under medical practices, the body is sort of an object for doctors and scientist to test on. The body is also sort of a subject as well with the with it’s physique and how the body experiences pain and the senses.
