experimental video synopsis

synopsis 

a disconected spirit of humanity (created via stop motion) explores and idealist painting esk landscape mediating the future of humanity via interacting with the landscape itself. the landscapes represent the two ideas of utopia, one a technology driven urban environment the other an natural edenistic paradice. through these interactions the spirit trys to weigh up which future it eutopia and which is a dead zone.  






the theme explores the idea of utopia. it is a reflective piece on what a true Utopia would involve, whether it would be a technology driven urban environment or a natural edenistic style land before the stems of agriculture took it's hold. this theme will be show through a relationship between urban and rural environments. these environments will be contrasted using both visual and audible similarities (for example a river of people in a city contrasted to a actual river) , visual and audible methaphor will be essential to developing this conversation with the audience about the true nature of a Utopia.


the spirit represents the spirt of humanity. it will serve a role as a mediator between the two ideals (urban and rural). this will be show through her interaction with the environment, this for example may be the walking through the two rivers. she will be interacting with both enviroments symbolising the human interaction with the two ideals. however this will be made more complicated by the fact she is stop motion, this will create a disconnected feeling towards the two environments (a feeling all people get about trying to make a real diffrence)

the audible aspect of the film will be an experimental sound scape created via recording live sounds from both urban and rural places. this piece will tap into a natural rhtyhm between both enviroments and try a create an harmony whilst still keeping the distinct nature. i want the sound to have a methaphorical meaning towards the overall theme of the piece.

the visual aspects of the environment will revolve around wide shots to incorporate the entire landscape and the methaphor and meaning will come from this so visually stunning wide shots will bring focus to the meaning of the landscapes which the spirit is traversing. the other element will be created in post, this is the turner style blurred landscape. i want this to represent the blurred lines between the two ideals of urban and rural utopias and the bright representative colours to relate to our emotional investment in the issue.  




scene ideas
(these are the visual metaphors i want to convey through the film)


walking through spider web with internet laptop

fast food burger in a field of cows

leaf floating in the wind with plastic sainsbury bag

rock stacking and high rises

scraching in tree and phones

walking through river (hunting) and walking through river of people

expermental sound scape

experimental sound scape idea 


use the elements and start with them seperate and then mix them togther to a cresendo at the end



use fire
use water
use earth
use wind



take sounds from each elements





infinte loop sound .....constantly increasing pitch illusion  ......use shepard tone as the cresendo

SHEPARD TONE 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone




or connection between human and nature


music going through nature

piano on fire                            music (human)   fire (nature) 




maybe add both ideas together 




last sound in swimming pool underwater






use angel of the north photo 



chrid watson 

bernie krause

sports video

idea :players join in from crowd......soo watching game. cut to crowd one exicts takes of top revealing kit and starts to play

slow motion teams walking onto field   saturated look.   (inspiration space entrances + rocky boxing entrances + fifa/football entrances



then games start very intense cuts between each team    quick editing, bumping into camera, pov shots, movement ......

then pan over to the crowd and it cuts to close up of person. then guy runs out of the crowd and rips of his shirt and the team kit is underneath and he joins the game and it focuses on him and is dramatic  and he scores 

the camera follows the ball and it transforms into the other ball and follows it into the other sport.  

this then repeats for each sport 


then the final scene is a drone shot with all the teams in full kit standing in a circle around it. the drone flys up and spins filming all of them and turning. 

6 images ideas object meaning

object meaning

science = microscope + rock stacking (organisation)







art = paiting = paiting on leaves (expression) (see the world in a diffrent way)




writing = book = walking line (story)









love= ring = stages of flower












self expression=memory card= writing in tree (perminence)











connection = phone = river paiting on floor

2. HIROSHIMA

3. Writing names into trees

i will look into my 4 artists as a starting point to further the idea's development.  

ANDY GOLDSWORTHLY 

his work revolves around connection to nature, he pieces are naturalistic and in his words a born and grown and decay as part of nature. 

he created a piece in san francigo called drawn stone, it's a political message on the effects of the earth quake. so he uses his naturalistic artwork to illustrate a higher political message. using processes of nature. this is something i wanna replicate using natural process to illustrate a higher meaning. ie using a tree to represent growth for example. 

he uses natural objects to create his art which he says means that the art comes from a more raw un editable position. his art reflects nature as it is. he often uses his hands and raw materials to create art. he is regarded as the founder of rock balancing. 

these pieces show his methphors in his art, using nature to represent a concept. i like this idea to use for the background of me pieces to have this methphorical concepts as part of it. 

i really like"Clay on stone, edged to catch" as these use of flowing patterns of nature create a feeling a connection and then the piece he created out of place feeling. i like the idea of using patterns in nature and disfunction of these patterns to create feelings

i also like "Water drawn on river boulder, " i like the use of symatry and order in a no ordered random nature, 

i think it would work in my work, using this idea trying to create order in nature via creating symmetry and straigtness to represent the human situation of trying to create order

i like this piece as using shadow as a reflection on nature. i also like the human shadow placed in the natural shadow to show human conection. i like the idea of maybe using this idea in my piece

this piece is also is intresting, finding nature in the city, using drain water as a natural element to paint a natural conection like a river in a city. i like this connection between the city and nature.

using natural patterns in the city is interesting  

i also like the use of colours to create a disatament from nature using natural objects, also showing the intresting levels of immersion in nature. i want to use disatament of colour in my work

again patterns so a sort of organisation in nature which we try to recorate. i want to use paterns in my piece

i really like his rock stacking it creates a sort of order in nature. i want to show disorder in the universe and our attempt to create order by doing rock stacking. 

i really like using a natural symbol connecting all 5 pictures.
