Korsakow – Abduction

Had a little panic attack when I found out it was due on the 11th, not 17th. All is well now. I had some trouble running Korsakow on Windows 7. Solved it after re-installing quick time and ticking Quicktime for Java during installation, and then running qtjavahelp.

My Korsakow film is a series of random things I filmed for Integrated Media 1, and some clips from travelling. Mostly Melbourne, though. I really wanted to make it into a story but it was a little hard considering the multi-linear requirement.

But If its in the right order the story goes like: A person is abducted through his / her bedroom window. Let’s call this person Joko. Joko is abducted by an unknown force. He travels through dimensions, going through lights, shadows that flickers and spins around. He then lands and sees a city at nightfall with pretty pretty lights from buildings, he feels sad because he is in an unknown place away from what was familiar (note the piano music). The unknown force then takes him all around these places. Great Ocean Road, Hongkong, Ruins of St. Paul, Bondi, even to the Moomba festival, which are all new to him. Along the way he spots talented street performers and enjoys watching them (note the upbeat music in several clips). Joko’s journey ends with fireworks, showing celebration and happiness.

Or that he exploded. Open-ended ending.
