Lecture 1 - Non-Narrative

Module Brief

The other half of the brief is to make a short 2-4 minute long non-narrative film, meaning it doesn't strictly speaking have to make sense. There were 3 briefs to choose from:

- Colour Flow

This would involve the use of colour and/our fluid movement of a substance sound tracked to a piece of music of my choice.

- Move Me

This would be about objects and other things that are moved by either other objects or forces.

- Sound Bites

Tight editing of different household things using a multi-screen approach to create a musical piece.
Immediately I was drawn to the "sound bites" brief, as I had recently been introduced to a famous 25 year old YouTuber known as "Pogo", who makes songs made up of clips from films, TV shows and every-day occurrences. Here is an example of his work:



This is a song using clips from Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction".

After leaving the lecture, I decided to have a quick go at seeing if I could get some sort of rhythm going using things I could find in the kitchen. Here's how I did:




As you can see, it's nowhere near the standard of Pogo's work, but I didn't expect it to be as I did this within an hour, I just wanted to test if I was on to something. After conducting this test; I began to see how difficult how difficult this may actually be.
