Video Installation Evaluation
The project we were given was to make a video installation using our own style which could be about anything, I chose to do mine about dreams. The reason I chose dream over other subjects is because its a strong subject and connects to a wide rang of people and it will form a great visual piece that can show how different dreams can be interpreted and what they mean to different people.
First thing I did was arranging the models and locations I was going to use in my video so that there would be no time wasted on the days of filming, I then began on the paper work and research which would give me a few ideas of what I was going to do, whilst I was researching I liked the works of Bill Viola and decided to use him as a guide for some shots in my installation, just like Bill I used I had still shots where the image would move.
After that I booked the studio and confirmed it with the models, I began to make a mind map of different dreams deepening on what people told me they dreamt about and to help me get more ideas for the shots I wanted so that I would have a idea of what I was going to do because I didn't want to wast time in the studio. I decided to go for a mixture of vintage, abstract, ambient style all shot in black and white.
On the day I was going to film I started off by setting up the main filming location then would move on to other sections. When the models came I briefed them on what they to do, after I was done filming I took the clips and sorted them into a rough edit, when I was done choosing what goes in which order I began work in Final Cut Pro which allowed my to play around with the clips, the color, effects ect... and when I was done editing I began to add effects, music and polish it off.
Overall I am happy with the outcome of the video and if I was going to change somethings I would have used some props and used more locations not just the studio because it would have made my video better because it would have given me more to work with. I really loved doing this project and found it very enjoyable and learnt new things that I can use in the future projects.
