there were no constraint tasks this week. i suspect this is because we were all doing our very important k-films. this means i cannot complete one of my contract clauses which said to discuss how i went about achieving the set task for the week. instead, imma talk about how i actually found making the k-film because i guess that was really the set task. and it links all the others together.

what i found the most interesting about making my k-film was that when i was made to put all these mostly random videos together to form one cohesive entity, i began to find patterns and similarities between these videos, even when i had not intended any of them. how does a clip of a tree branch relate to the sun setting relate to a photo mobile spinning in my room? on first glance, there are no connections. but as humans and as story makers and readers, we find meaning in everything we receive. this stems back to the active audience theory that we are all the creators of our own interpretations regardless of what the intended meaning was. i had not intended any meaning in my videos apart from fulfilling the given brief. yet one put together they formed connections. they required keywords, ins and outs, and these needed to make sense. because connections and relations are how we make sense of the world that we live in. nothing is separate, everything is connected. so when i was making my k-film i surprised myself by how much these videos actually connected to each other.

the more you know eh?
