The Residue

Length: 04:56

SYNOPSIS
The memories and meanings contain behind the architecture’s aspects.

PURPOSE 

To explore the deep meanings, what does the very little details of building 16 represent in relation to it’s past. Through out a short documentary , focusing on the architecture aspects of Storey Hall, hidden ideas are revealed through research and investigation.

The process was not very complicated, which I planned out 2 main parts : Filming and Plotting.

The filming process was fairly simply because I only needed to focus on the 2 aspects of colours and shapes of the building. Filmed almost every single details of the 2 aspects , both in close ups and wide angle shots,  Im quite happy with the video visually.

Plotting / Directing at first was straight forward, but due to a technical problem, I had to make a change in presenting the documentary, not through a set of videos with narration but with music and subtitles. The method turned out not as effective as the first plan, but the video still delivered the message and the plot successfully in my opinion. Drafting the narration was also a challenging process, as after spending too much time on researching, the script was overload and came offtrack . Re writing and shorten the plot was the right thing to do and I managed to do that in time.Overall , the project was time consuming and I needed to schedule my time better, splitting the works fairly and not rushed any process. Also to carefully check everything afterwards. The audio recorded were corrupted due to using different software and fail in converting and encoding the files.

This individual piece reflects exactly my effort , and If I could improve it I would have tried to actually spend and focus more of my time on it, and maybe trying a more creative approach to my idea.
