Constraint 02

The theme of the semester is ‘relation’, as in relations and the relational. The first constrained task, which really consisted of two constrained tasks, square and round is primarily about composition and so is shape as a relation.

The second task, for making during the second week of semester, is light. This is about the relation of light in the image (for the image is, intrinsically and deeply, only about light), and light to itself (shadow).

Theme

  • Make one six to ten second clip that is about light
  • Make one six to ten second clip that is about not light
  • Make one six to ten second clip that is about shadow

Technical

  • each clip should be six to ten seconds in length (if you use Vine they will be six)
  • editing can be done in camera, or after, or not at all
  • the video needs to be published into your blog (you can use vimeo, blip.tv, or embed them yourselves)
  • there should be one video clip per blog post
  • the source media needs to be available as H.264 video

Things to consider
Should things be the same shot scale (size in frame)? Why? If they vary, why? Are they everyday things or things that have some significance to you? Perhaps one film is personal stuff, another the kitchen? (And yes, this is an exercise in noticing.)
