What path am I going down?

Since starting on the foundation course I have been leading myself down the road of Experimental film, This is the right pathway for me because it is what inspires me to create various pieces of my own work, I have created various pieces of work through moving image, audio and photography these 3 elements are what I want to coninute working with and maybe look into using in my FMP.

This is my 3min experimental film which I created, It was inspired by the 1968 drama "Whistle and i'll come to you" their was a certain scene which caught my attention at the time were the professor is having a nightmare and being chased down a beach by the ghost/thing which is haunting him. I decided to incorprate some of the elements from the drama into my experimental film, During this project I also learnt a new technique in editing which is how I got this effect in my film and I may consider using this effect in my FMP. I was very proud of the piece of moving image which I created and its here to view below.




I have looked into experimenting with sound and composing experimental pieces for my short films, I have been inspired from russalo and his noise machines and also I'am inspired through my own experimentations of sound and music which i make as a personal hobbie using synthesizers, household objects and an electric guitar. The audio is an important element to my films and I think it develops an atmosphere to the piece of moving image which you are watching. Below is a piece which i did for my recent project on hope & fear, using my synth and editing on adobe audtion I generated this piece of sound which is supposed to give the
atmosphere for fear leading into the hope, please take a look.

I have looked into light photography which inspired me alot from looking at Gjorn mili the farther of electronic flash and pioneer of strobe photography and also looking at other light photography artists such as Lichtfaktor, In my photogrphy class I decided to try out light photogrphy using a cannon SLR camera and a slow shutter speed on the camera I created various pattens using a torch light and experimented with the light to create various effects.

I am hoping to incorprate moving image, audio and photgraphy and from the skills which I have developed through these projects I hope to ultimatley use in my FMP.

I hope to update you all to my 2 ideas on my next post :)
