For this module of Advance Photographic
Practices we were asked to create a moving image piece, that is 80-240 seconds
long, and based on the theme of Stillness and Memory. We will create this using
the Adobe Premiere program, editing together our footage, still images and
audio. This program is something I have used before, but will need to recap my
skills. I will use all three elements in my video, moving footage, still images
and audio. I want my piece to be interesting
but still personal to me.
For my final idea I want to look at my own
personal memories. When thinking about memories, I think about what I remember
about an event and what I remember thinking about. I think that we all remember
and see something different, even if it is about the same thing. I want to show
a personal event in my video, and talk about what I remember.
I chose to look at my memories of being at
my grandparent’s house over the summer holidays as a child. I remember a lot of
these days, spent playing around the house, and I want to show this in my video.
I want to add images of how my granddads house is now, and the items I
remember. I was to mix them together, over lapping the images onto the video,
and use the audio through out the video.
I have looked at the work of Miranda
Hutton, and her The Room Project. I want to use this as my inspiration, and
show the personal elements in my images. I want to concentrate on items, rather
than full rooms. I will aim to take around 10 pictures, and fit in as many as I
can. I want to mix these into my video in points with the video audio still playing
in the background.
Even though this piece will be very
personal to me, I want the viewer to think about their childhood memories. I
want people to want to look back at any images/videos they may have of their
past and think about what they remember. I want the video to give a happy
emotion, not a feeling of sadness thinking about what we no longer have. I want
to show my personal feelings and memories, and something that means something
to me.
