My first experiment in making is a potential direction of the sound scape within my work. I wanted to trial using the sounds of home videos to create a composition containing moments of quiet and moments with many layers of sound. I used sounds recorded on site accompanied by refined audio from archival footage in the form of home videos. I had the intention of creating a nostalgic aesthetic quality that also connected to the site.
First Experiment:
My second and third experiments are that of filming within the garden. I wanted to trial filming in a manner inspired by the kinetic nature of Daniel Crooks work An Embroidery of Voids. This second experiment had the intention of a walk through the garden in one take. The third experiment tries a different take in the form of still shots edited together to see the aesthetic differences these two effects possess.
Second Experiment:
Third Experiment:
My fourth experiment is trialling creating a silhouette of a body. My intention within this experiment was to see how a silhouette communicates meaning and the aesthetic qualities this possess. I tried using a white Perspex sheet back lit to obtain this effect.
Fourth Experiment:
