Task Three- experiment 3
when I face to one nature environment(like the sky), what different things I will notice between photos and films?
Place: a sunny day sky
Step:
- Using phone to take an hour sky film
- Using camera take one photo each 15 mins
- compare the differences between the pictures and the video
Media:
Reflection :
We I looked back to the video, even the sky is one thing, but it changes all the time. I use Time-lapse to shoot the sky, which gives me clearly a movement of the sky. From Benning’s films, Benning shoots long periods of time in order to see how the skies change and mutate. I did the same thing, however in the class, we will feel anxious about the long time watching the skies, it shows that we all expect to see something of the skies but nothing comes out, so I made my video to be fast in order to see how it change and mutate. I also take one photo each 15 mins. Although from the reading, Benning notes that because digital video can now capture perfect stillness it is almost best at capturing the stillness of the world because it can capture movement. I agree with that, however, I also think because photography makes stillness becomes still, so we can notice something more focus. We can really catch the movement of something happened. Like my photos, one of them, there is a bird in the photo, however, in the video, we didn’t notice that very clearly. When something happens, photos can catch the movement in that second, rather video will record the process of this moment.
Base on Benning’s films, there has been an obsession with movement. I want to explore more about “noticing in movement” between photography and film.
