LENS- EXPERIMENT, mother survey

i got some of my friends to hold up descriptive words about their mothers

I like the black and white tint and also the 'dip to black' video transition that is used that makes the different videos flow more into each other. I also like how the video transition also connects well with the tint of this clip.

if i had them all sitting in the same area, it may have made the clip more organised and professional looking.

LENS- EXPERIMENT of movement

slowed down the movement which made the action more in sync with the music

the movement is still too messy, although not as much as my other video.

LENS- EXPERIMENT; overlapping dance movement

i was inspired by shigeyuki kihara's piece which she did called Siva in Motion.

What isn't working in this experiment is that the movement is too messy; if she had stood in one spot and moved her body it would have been less confusing for the eye to watch.

LENS- EXPERIMENTATION: connecting images with audio

I used an Ed Sheeran song called "Small Bump" that is about a friend of his that had a miscarriage. I only used the first verse and the chorus and connected as best i could the certain images that would relate to the lyric being said.

LENS- RESEARCH:Alan Watts - Acceptance of Death

I love how the man speaking is connected with the images and video.

I also love the message behind the video, that death is apart of life, and when you die life is carried on through other individuals.

I also love how the music intensifies the mood by becoming more dramatic and becoming louder or softer.

LENS- EXPERIMENTATION- colour, overlap, audio

Adding a blue tint to all the images and videos. I've left the silhouette of the pregnant lady black and white.

I've added the blue tint to the other images to show the progress of life that could happen. Blue tint is to represent the baby scan.

LENS- EXPERIMENTATION- overlapping with audio

The song used is Kehlani- The Letter, which is a song about how her mother left her.

Using a sad song creates a depressing mood.

Context: Mothers that leave children miss out on the joy or happiness that a child brings

Evaluation: I don't like the mood of the clip. I want something more happy and uplifting. So maybe ill change the song to a more bright and upbeat song.
