Lecture 2 - Examples

In this lecture; our lecturer showed us some examples of non-narrative work made by the previous year of students who participated in this module. There was a lot of variety and a lot to learn from, but only one student followed the sound bites brief, and that student chose the kitchen to do it.

My lecturer then proceeded to show videos of B&Q adverts and such where it was basically what I had intended to do for my film, which made me doubt myself.

I was struggling to think of a new idea for sound bites, of a new location to get a wide variety of noises, but just as I was trying to think, I was inspired by the reflection of light within a bottle of water! I was watching the way the light shimmers on the surface of the water and how it moves in many different directions and thought of ways I could maybe manipulate it to follow the brief of "colour flow".

As soon as I got home that day, I had received a new camera I had ordered and wanted to test it, so as soon as it went dark outside; I put a quick test together, which involved a glass bowl full of water on a black shirt under a light. Here is my test:

This is in it's early stages at the moment, but I would really like to pursue this idea.
