Let me assume that you’ve already read my previous blogs and got to know how hard my creative journey was and how I was forced to make the final video in two days.
The thing I liked about it is that I managed to put my three collections and the connections between them in it with the main idea of seeing (not sure if it worked well enough though) and I’m quite proud of the idea of using an electric voice (I made this using the speech function of my iPhone).
I’ve been doing something very narrative in the previous projects, although I know that it’s very good practice for the pathway I choose, I just really wanted to make something different. So this outcome, which is kind of like a monologue is a breakthrough for myself in some way. I didn’t carry on the idea of brainwashing therapist but I didn’t waste all the footages I took with my friend Anna either, so that’s not bad either.
But that doesn’t mean I’m satisfied with this outcome. Actually, I’m not satisfied at all! Because of my bad planning and the waste of time, I had only two days to make a video from the beginning wrong developing a complete idea. I managed to do it but I didn’t mean that is good enough. Even for me there are still a lot of places which doesn’t really make sense!
Also, the footages I put into the video are not all from me, many of them are from the Internet which I don’t even know if it is OK to use because of the copyright problem. Also, the footage I put into the video are very repetitive because I just didn’t have enough time to think of another way to visualise the idea.
(I actually stole the idea of using Google earth from others but it worked well haha)
I actually used the idea that I thought of when having the CTS class on the Thursday before the deadline inspired by Ellsworth Kelly, something I said I will only explore if I have more time. I just finished the storyboard in a hurry and I don’t have enough brain cells to think any further. So let’s just end here and I really wish I can have a better plan and finish my work step by step firmly when it comes to the next project.
(Wish the lovely face of Anna/Manita will make your day XD)
