Maps and networks -choosing right cut

Choosing the cut

as my piece is one continuous shot i need to choose which is best. i have 7 takes. I will make notes on each take to make my decision 

take 1 

starts with practice goes 

mask puting on a bit sloppy

drinking bit off 

tuft of hair on mask (looks wierd)

exit not smooth 

take 2 

touches mask when comes towards camera (not big issue)

plant hanging off coat 

dropped coin clumbly 

SO FAR BETTER THAN 1 

take 3        camera tilted up 

issue with leaf whilst stacking 

stick infront of rocks 

dont see coin flip

take 4 

light on top of door on 

closes before puts on mask 

still stick issue 

tuff of hair on mask 

knocks trolley

drops coin 

WORSE THAN OTHERS

take 5 

still issue of light on top of door

stick issue still 

issue with the rock stacking (stumbly)

tuft of hair (not too bad)

COIN FLIP IS COOL

take 6 

no issue of light 

stick less in front 

massie in frame (can cut out)

BEST OUT OF THE TILLTED CAMERA

take 7  

not sure about prayer bit 

knocking over stones want natural 

actions feel rushed 

I LIKE THE DUST - MAYBE ADD IT WHEN BIBLE DROPS 

Take 2 vs take 6 

Framing :  1. tight- feels personal but lose details of face higher not always in frame 

                  2. always in frame but have to do more with editing (masie face) 

objects : 1. more obvoius and close 

              2. flowers hard to see 

Frekin stick : 1. hanging off coat 

                       2. infront of camera               (both annoying) 

hanging off coat is easier to play off 

actions : drinking is more difficult to see in 1. also bible thrown out of frame....good thing ?? 

coin flip drop in 1 

coin flip better in 5 

dont mind coin flip ....................hate the stick .......................

think 2 is gonna be my answer, this issues are less obvoius to the viewer. more just for the frantic director

Science

entering this dark enclosed space would be activating the prefrontal cortex, the brain would be assesing the area for danger and planning ways of excaping, incorperating the fight or flight principle. he regresses into this small space, expreincing his unconcous desire to return to the comfort of his mothers womb.  

he regressed child like instincts gives him the desire to build and play. activating the motor cotrex to control the fine motor skils to build and prefontal cortex to plan and imagine the placment of stones. 

when his places the stone apon another stone, that stone acts apon the first stone with a force equal and opposite to it. the stone will remain at rest unless acted apon by an unbalanced force. 

our ability to build and use tools was a feature of our evolution which allowed us to suirvive in tougher climates 

his frustration stems from his desire to be perfect and impress his fellow pack. his anger assiocitaed with it comes from a repression of these trumar duing childhood rumonating in his uncounicous need to be perfect. 

anxiety caused indicates levels of obsessive compulsive disorder seen also in the carefull organisation of his surrondings. 

the mask allows him to detact himself from the pressures of success. he can regress to a period before the mirror phase where his idenity is not know to him. the prefrontal cortex brings about this release from the anxiety before. how ever when the activity continues to fail and the compulsion doesnt bring the relief the enxiety reemerges in a more powerful tic. 

acholilsm is his addiction, this relief baised system is parrel with OCD with is quick reward baised system. 

our ability to compunicate through books is devolpment through our evolution to help suivival via highten ability to comunicate through a shared language. the process of writing is controlled in the broca's area of the frontal lob.

the motion observed by us could be very diffrent to the motion his is expeirncing, he could be in a moving object. time is releative to the observer. e=mc2 

the acceleration of the book and mask are diffrent to eacher as they both have diffrent mass ....force=massxasseleration 

he is unobeveable so we cant know what speed his is going at. 

other bits : the way he looks is an evolutionary trait to help reproduction. long hair throws back to a mascuiline quality desirable by females.

he experiementation with his actions tend towards ideas of logical positivism

he is a realist, something exsists beyond those doors.

Faith

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand

For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.

the mask offers protection from spirts. It represents our connection with the spirts and Gods.
it is the ideal self of beauty
the blankness represents the soberness of power

it is a call out to his ancestors

The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
For we live by faith, not by sight.

A righteous man falls down seven times and gets up

We are kept from our goal, not by obstacles, but by a clear path to a lesser goal.

No one should abandon duties because he sees defects in them. Every action, every activity, is surrounded by defects as a fire is surrounded by smoke.

Abandon all attachment to the results of action and attain supreme peace.

When a person is devoted to something with complete faith, I unify his faith in that. Then, when his faith his completely unified, he gains the object of his devotion

As the heat of a fire reduces wood to ashes, the fire of knowledge burns to ashes all karma.

There are three gates to this self-destructive hell – lust, anger, and greed. Renounce these three.

Those who are motivated only by desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they are constantly anxious about the results of what they do.

No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah . And whoever believes in Allah – He will guide his heart. And Allah is Knowing of all things. 

Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear

Family 

he looks soo lonely. you can see he just wants to be we someone, it what all people want. 

he is playing with the stones, he wishes he had a kid who he could see play and teach. 

he should take more care of himself, then maybe he could find his soul mate. 

you see, he is still a child at heart. playing dress up. maybe he just needs to grow up. 

without sharing his life with anyone everything has become a routine for him, building his frustration. you can see he has lots of hobbies, a way of distracting himself from he true desire to love. 

he abvouisly has had a tough childhood, his mother should of told him the dangers of drugs and alcohol. reading a book with no one to read to, maybe a romance novel, imagining and longing to be in the book. again the repeative task fails to distract him. he brings his money so he can go out and find his soul mate. 

Everyone needs a house to live in, but a supportive family is what builds a home

Parents were the only ones obligated to love you; from the rest of the world you had to earn it.

Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home

“Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter

home is were the heart is 

A house is built by hands, but a home is built by heart

Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life

his is an only child, he never learnt the joy of play 

Children are the keys of paradise. 

Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten. 

A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. 

the love of a family is lifes greatest blessing 

pleasure 

you can see he does not fear divine intervention 

his life is one to attain a state of tranquility  and freedom from fear as well as an absence of bodily pain 

this place brings him comfort 

everything is organised a designed to bring aesthetic pleasure 

everything is material to him. 

stacking rocks is a game to him. he enjoys it, it brings him pleasure 

he does what he thinks is right, morality is subject, there is no underling rules 

the soul is material and must be aheared to in such 

you see he drinks for pleasure but doesn't overindulge 

reading brings him pleasure, the subject in the book brings him peace of mind 

he acts this way as he has ridden himself of fear of death and fear of god 

he lives by the light of virtue theory 

he is aiming for the pleasure of the end game and dealing with the struggles of now. 

"I was not; I was; I am not; I do not care

he isnt hurting anybody , he niether harms or is being harmed  

his is governed by the ethics of reciprocity

he struggles for the pleasure of all man kind. 

when he experiences pain he takes action to rid himself of it. 

art 

i think entering the dark room symbolizes putting on a veil of ignorance 

the lack of light tells us that we know very little about this person 

the axe and typewriter symbolize the functions of man. 

his clothes represent the old and abandoned and tell us he has a lost sense of identity

the lack of colour shows cold reality of human suffering 

the dead flowers symbolises our destruction of the environment with our search for natural resources 

the stones tell us he strives for a more natural life

he builds the stones like he wants to build his own identity 

the suitcase repressents the part of himself he keeps hidden away, it is distant and it travels with him. 

he wears the mask to hid his true idenity. he real self he doesnt want the world to see. 

when the mask wears thin, his anxiety breaks through his armor. 

the acholol represents his desire to escape his reality, futher shown with the book. he wants to not be burdened with the responsiblity of excising. 

he loses the shroud of denial 

he cluches to fait 

he leaves this world. 

the leaving symbolizes his suicide  

Maps & network (sound script research)

sound script 

I decided to try talking to people about the film and getting different perspectives. 

I wanted the perspectives to have relation to ways of meaning, from the prior research and research into other philosophers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meaning_(existential)

this includes works from satre on existenses preexistence before essense (a set thingyness of a thing) meaning that "meaning" doesnt have innate properties. 

 It comes to the point of people creating their own meaning and through my thought a research I've found 5 main aspects of meaning. 

Science 

Faith 

Family 

Pleasure 

Art 

for science I talked to my parent and a friend who studies physics at university. 

for faith I talked to members of the christian union 

for family I talked to a child care practitioner

for pleasure a friend who goes out drinking and doing drugs all the time. 

and art a friend from fine art. 

I found from the questions I asked after they watched the film that this was maybe not finding the answers I wanted, most people put on and artist lens when they came up with answers and also just didn't analysis it the true vice of their profession. the issue is im trying to disconstruct the main element of human meaning that we put togher our meaning from many standpoints but getting people to try and seperate them. Ive decided the best thing to do is research and create a script through my research and get a better sound scape.  

I think the sound scape should consist of the voice over which will be from the 5 perspectives trying to anayise the film from their perpectives. the second part will be a thematical sound scape from the pespectives. 

voice over - very emotional.... very baised on their pespectives. 

thematic soundscape-  a warped repsentation of thier common sounds of their pepectives ie. church bells for faith. and sing bowls ect. 

Science - experimental philosphy.....nothing is for certain till proven. philosphy of science. 

faith - life about finding heaven. about morality and releigion 

Family - about reproduction, caring about others, raising a familly

pleasure - all about personal happiness. epicurism. 

art - about expression. 

Science Research 

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

the relationship between science and truth 

the unabsurvable exist 

 Thomas Kuhn's landmark 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions was also formative, challenging the view of scientific progress as steady, cumulative acquisition of knowledge based on a fixed method of systematic experimentation and instead arguing that any progress is relative to a "paradigm," the set of questions, concepts, and practices that define a scientific discipline in a particular historical period

questions about the nature of time raised by Einstein's general relativity

can chemistry be reduced to physics, or can sociology be reduced to individual psychology?

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

logical positivism relates to the idea of verfication, that all knowledge needs to be imperically obssevbed. 

language is soo important needs to be cut out. wiggestien language games 

phenomalism Phenomenalism is the view that physical objects cannot justifiably be said to exist in themselves, but only as perceptual phenomena or sensory stimuli (e.g. redness, hardness, softness, sweetness, etc.) situated in time and in space. In particular, some forms of phenomenalism reduce talk about physical objects in the external world to talk about bundles of sense-data.

without verfication it isnt knowledge just langauge statements 

metaphysical doesnt exisist and is absurded to thing about 

imperilsim 

 Bertrand Russell's logicism, - all is rudecuable to funemental logic therefore all is able to be absurbed and undestood. 

aposterei not apriori.....nothing before. blank slate. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SffJp89Ua8g

scientific realism - there is a world out there

instruisitism- in intrisic value 

the scientific method is the way of finding knowledge 

have to be objective not subjective 

from observations arrive at a genreal truth 

inductive logic 

istinctual part of our logic. 

fasifability (full science) - surrival of the fittest 

parradigm shift 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X8Xfl0JdTQ

making predictions to prove theories. 

make hyposis on obsevations 

pooper- falsification moves us away from psudo science 

you have to try and disprove something not attmenpte to prove it- that would be baised on precosumptions 

infrutable theories are nothing- cant be tested

knowledge is probability and continguency 

(no certainity) 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C-s4JrymKM&list=PL8dPuuaLjXtNgK6MZucdYldNkMybYIHKR&index=6

tabula rasa- blank slate 

primary qualties - physical qaulities the object themself have (doesnt need a abosurver) 

secondy qualties - just in our minds (we can argue about it) 

to be is to be perceived - berkley 

science to put in 

evolution 

theory of relativity 

laws of motion 

phycosis 

chemincal neuroscience 

evolution 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3GagfbA2vo

natural selection 

adabting to the enviroment 

our connection to our species 

things we have to help our survival

comes from our evolution 

micro evolution 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTftyFboC_M

adaptations to suite thier survival 

galapogoes finches 

all about survival and reproduction 

inheriatble qualities 

changes the gentic ratio of the whole population

passing traits on 

sexual selection - make themselfs desierable 

or detering their rivals 

sexual + survival 

artifical selection from humans - selective breeding  

laws of motion 

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.This law is often called "the law of inertia".

Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object). f=ma

For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.

theories of relativity 

time is relative to the obsurver 

gravity is the same as accleration 

when in motion you can se yourself as stationary : two people in a train 

movement is relative to the motion 

light doesnt obsurve the same relativity of motion 

speed of light is constant 

faster you travel the slower time is relative to you 

e= mc2 

pychosis 

frueds ideas of repression and tramer leading to future behaviour 

we are determined by our childhood. 

(i know alot about this so can go into alot of detail without research)

Neuroscience 

Ive decided not to go into too much detail with some scientific concepts and instead offer them in the script as a basic framework to prepose the idea of science for self created meaning. 

Faith 

house on sand

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand

building the set

start to build

we had the set design all done we new what pannels needed adding to the already exsisting set now we needed to clean the walls and put up the set. 

I brough in tools for stripping the walls including sandpaper ect. it worked fairly well but took to long, that when i asked if anyone had a steamer, luckly ivan did so he went and grabbed it, we used that mostly on the other side as that side needed to be smoother. we then put the walls up. i was very fussy to make sure they were straight using a ruler when needed.

when we got it all up it looked very good and we happly went home. 

the next time we got there we started puting up linning paper which we all worked together on doing. it took a while to get it good so we started on the ID side as little creases werent such a issue on that side. I prefered to spend longer to not get the creases but group decision said we should speed up.

once we got all the linning paper up on both sides we could paint 

we started on the ID side putting down a base layer of gray then stippling the brown and grey to create the rusted look, they also needed to get blended together. there were 3 roles, brown stippler, grey stippler and a blender, this created the effect of old rusted paint. 

after lunch there was issue. 

we had agreed on green paint on the other side. they had done purple. we were upset. we thought it was a attack on us. we got excutive producer, they get arngry for not telling them, everyone of in huff, we agree to be the bigger guys and change ours to dark purple. END  

set build- art direction notebook

Art direction notebook

i decided i wanted to grab all the final ideas and put it in a collected notebook to keep the direction good as it was all related and didnt need stuff from devolpment and i could clearly show the final product idea. 

(sorry for poor pictures- im going to show the book properly at assessment 

this is the set ideas. is says about the divission. the colour scape for the id and ego with visual examples. the way props will be warped reflections of themselfs and the idea for costume. all are shown in more detal later. 

this is the floor plan of the room. it shows the division of superego and id and the placment of the pannels mirror chairs and "windows". it also shows the dimentions of the pannels

this shows a 3d drawing of the set with basic colours. this shows the basics of the set and is spacing and scale. also shown is the wall paper falling away towards the mirror. it also shows the dimentions of the diffrent pannels and how they will look basically.

these are the paint charts. we were mostly lookning at the greens when we were approaching the build process but i looked through all of these till i was happy with the colour choices

These are the colour charts for both id and superego as you can see the super ego is plain with mutted colours, nothing stands out, it symbolises the safety and boringness of the nature of the superego and is fear of being out of the normal. 

the id is more contrasted with strong vibrant colours agains dark grey scale symbolising is powerfull nature and darkness within. 

this is the prop list (upside down) they are warped mirrored objects each coming in pares. firstly the mirror which is the ego so is basic plain wood to symbolise is simple controlling nature. the tattered grey curtains in the ID and the white blinds in the superego. the two chairs are there to inhance the performance but also give a level of space to the set. one will look brand new the other like its been left for years. there will be a lamp on each side one with shade one without. ALL THESE PROPS COME FROM RESEARCH INTO THE ELEMENTS OF THE ID AND SUPEREGO AND ARE THERE TO MATCH THE CHARATERS CREATED TO REPRESENT THEM. 

the post it notes will represent organised and planed nature and the ink splots free flow mind. the simple plant with represent function and the weeds and vines chaos. for relationships there will be condoms to show sex as the top of the ID relationship and a weading ring to represnt the desire of the superego. the underwear represent ludness and vulgarity and the tie represents respecfulness. the beer bottles show pleasure over all and the water bottle restraint and health. the bible and porn magz repsent morality sources. the baby objects and mom and dad mugs represent where the ID and superego come from. the christmas list represents want and the life plan need. the ultiltarian scales and selphie stick represetn responsiblity and personal intresnt. the posters reprsent the idea of self. 

dog collor animal and bishop collor human.

some of the objects i wanted to change for example the bishop collar was to whisy washy so ethan thought of a fine dinning set, same with the superman poster billie thought of a motivational poster. 

other objects was the mirror sheet which is said shhould be under the table so the superego can drag it away to create a mess at the end of the film. 

(start with id)

for the superego i want a baige dress, but i realised it didnt fit the mirroed element so i decided to do a smart white top with black trowers wearing a tie to show a more controlled verson of hte id. 

these are the costume ideas for the ID i thought around child like, sexual, movement , and harley quin (weird mix i know) i thought of using long socks like school girls and a short wavey ripped skirt. then a open school like top with short sleaves with a red bra underneath, this woud match her sexualised red lips. i want black eyes through make up and contact lens. 

i then made a google doc to get the props.
