I am struggling through a backlog of entries due to illness. And while I was pulling together slightly more involved entries, I found this piece of footage that I shot a few weeks ago for whatever reason and it interested me to post about it here.
A comment that keeps coming up is an interest in playing with scale between live and projected image. This ties in with the idea of telematic vs cinematic which comes up in just about every conversation I have with Doug.
Another thing that I want to play with over the coming week, and for the scratch (next week!) is my interest in the awkward or really mundane moments.
Therefore, the question that popped into my head is when I saw this was:
What happens when you turn a mundane action into something cinematic?
And the question I pose to all of you is:
What's going on in this clip?
I'm curious what difference it makes having sound on and off?

There is always something satisfying about eyes. Though the action is mundane we create a narrative from collecting the clues of the sound and eye movement in order to work out what has caught your focus. It's rather like standing on a side walk and looking up--people will eventually stop to find out what you're looking at. I think the sound is essential as the eyes gives the emotional context, while the sound infers to the visualization of location.

Interesting comment about the sound. I am thinking of using this as a foundation for sound improvisation for the scratch, so it will be shifting the original context. But I agree that the sound will change the emotional context of it. That's what I'm hoping for. I'm really excited to try it out.
Also revisiting that closeup of my mouth from the very early days of the course.
