We edited the footage in both Noir and a retro, blue-toned colour grade to decide which worked better.

The black and white version brought out contrast and texture, which suited the focus on space and absence. However, We preferred the retro colour version, as it felt more engaging and gave the spaces more atmosphere.

The added colour worked well with the camera movement, helping the transitions feel smoother and more connected. While black and white felt quite basic, the colour grade added more depth and made the overall piece of experimental film feel more visually interesting.

Some screenshots from Sunflower that convey some ways in which we'd like the text to be integrated into the video

# data[].attributes.body
Colour Theory – The opening segment at the start will be re-recorded with blue lighting. In our statement of intent, we said we want the short to have a melancholy feeling as seen in a lot of Tim Burton’s works. Blue is a colour often associated with sadness, but also one that can be interpreted as being tranquil and safe. Meaning it’s a colour that can be seen as both sad and calming, which fits with our intentions for the short. https://www.verywellmind.com/the-color-psychology-of-blue-2795815

Time Techniques – In terms of how time is portrayed, I think we will stick to the idea of using time lapses. Since we said in the statement of intent that our film is discussing themes like time passing us by/growing up too fast. The first test video we did somewhat conveyed how we want the video to look. There’s also this video we found here that portrays time lapses in a less amateur way https://youtu.be/zRXWAZk8fGs?si=ngoC6mDR5llB7qx4 We may also use time remapping if we see it best fit, however the majority will be time-lapse.

What the set is – The set will be a compilation of various locations, as the time-lapse footage will be an assortment of different events. The change in location contextualised by this being a story from a book, and differing poems being spoken out throughout.

Where the text is coming from – the text will be edited to look like it has been integrated into the environment. For example, the lyric video for the song “Sunflower” edits the song lyrics into existing footage from “Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse". The text appears subtly as if it’s part of the environments. It also appears in comic text bubbles a few times (referencing the comic book origins of that franchise), text could appear in our video on a paper background to reference the fact we entered a book at the start.

https://youtu.be/ApXoWvfEYVU?si=jV0r8ORoE5zPDZ4P

Text test - Apologies for the extremely basic test video. Spent way too long trying to figure out the text masking that I didn't find time to experiment with other styles of text. But this is basically a crude visualisation of how text will appear. Need to figure out how to make it look interrogated into the background/Or at least better than what iMovie can offer. https://youtu.be/UyzMTHUOn9g?si=zpsT2w6_bZBLQT0R

The central theme of our work is Heautoscopy, Autoscopy, Out of body experience and Observing a state from a Visio-spatial perspective. The experience of witnessing one’s own body from a distance, shifting ones own sense of location. And seeing yourself from two places at once. We will explore these out of body experiences and hallucinations and how they suggest ideas of being watched, guilt and impending doom.

Inspired by Sally Golding’s work, Your Double, My Double, Our Ghost. Hoping to use a flexible silver two way mirror that lets take a look at a distorted version of yourself. And Fyodor Dostoyevsky with his novel the Double.

I had a dream once where I was in a situation similar to this looking at myself from the 3rd person and whilst it terrified me, I also felt slightly inspired from it.

Hopefully at one point we are going to get rid of the setting and replace it with a blank void. Contrast in speed, the person in camera is being pulled away. It starts off slow and long cuts to feel unavoidable. Before eventually speeding during the end to have a feeling of everything crashing down upon

One problem we will face is trying to make sure the camera isn’t in frame when using the mirrors

Through one extremely long take form a birds eye view shot and some cuts. For lens we are going to use a mixture of fish eye lens’ to create a surreal feeling and a zoom lens for flexibility. The intended purpose is to be from the double’s perspective.

Use the lighting techniques of High Neon lighting to add mystery and darkness as well as some colour to the film with some arc lights shining through some velvet screens.

Use virtual Surround sound design including white noise sounds such as Rain, Tv static effect and water hitting balloons to stimulate the viewer.

The setting will be a bathroom.

Through After Effects we can do lots of layering. Through particle world we can make varied visual imagery. Position vectors can be used to move elements and we are using particle effects

The technical challenge will be trying to not reveal camera whilst dealing with mirrors.

Conceptual challenge will be trying to evoke the right feelings and showcasing an accurate representation of Heautoscopy.

Producing a cohesive piece of work that is immersive both visually and sonically. Successfully using practical and post production effects with lights/mirrors and superimposition.

Experimenting with sound and creating a unique soundscape that stimulates the viewer.

Our work aims to explore the idea that time feels like it accelerates as we get older, and this feeling is directly proportional to decreasing amounts of novelty in life.

When we see with new eyes, even the ordinary seems extraordinary. Through the medium of VR, we hope to immerse viewers in an experience from birth, through life, then death.

Abstract visuals will be composited onto 360 footage representing early life. As time

accelerates, these abstract visuals will decrease, making reality grow ordinary and

mundane.

I’ve been inspired by various experimental artists I follow on Instagram. ‘Psuedohuasca’ overlays abstract visuals – such as fractals or 4D objects – onto real life footage. ‘Lucioarese’ creates abstract visualisations that follow the sound of birds singing. ‘uonvisuals’ creates fully CGI scenes revolving around trips through fractal environments.

We hope to take inspiration from these different approaches to abstraction in experimental art, and combine these ideas to create something new.

Although it follows a life from birth to death, our VR experimental film will be a sensory

experience, not a narrative experience. We intend to follow the concept of a life, rather than following a specific individual and what makes them unique. Therefore, viewers will be able to see their own lives in this experience.

We hope viewers are left to question where they might be able to introduce novelty back into their lives, or how they might be able to

rejuvenate their appreciation for the everyday, allowing them to live more in the present and help time slow down a little.

Due to this being a sensory VR experience, we need to capture 360 video and binaural

sound. We then also need to be able to edit this together, composite footage, and build a couple fully virtual environments from the ground up.

We’re currently in the process of securing a 360 camera, and exploring our options for a

binaural sound recording setup. I’ve also chosen After Effects as the software I’ll use to import, edit, composite and export 360 footage. I’ve already created a couple of test sequences, experimenting with ideas for the film while learning the software.

Through the use of VR as our medium, we’re already exploring a highly unconventional form of filmmaking. We hope to explore how a 360 experience differs from a flatscreen one, and how this added immersion can influence the impact a cinematic experience has on a viewer.

Our work will be successful if viewers are able to fully immerse themselves in the

experience, and also if they feel they’ve gotten something out of it, however small.

We understand that 360 VR is significantly more challenging to create for than a conventional 2D film. I’ve already run into technical challenges while editing. There’s also a risk that we lean TOO abstract, making any sort of meaning lost on the viewer.

However, these challenges provide an opportunity for us to grow as artists. We’re really stepping out of our comfort zones here, but by learning as we create and overcoming issues as they arise, we’ll learn a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
Statement of intent

This project will explore empty and transitional spaces and how they can suggest human presence without showing people. Inspired by Chantal Akerman’s use of still framing and duration, the work will focus on observing space rather than action. Instead of narrative or character, the typical background of a scene will become the main subject.

The piece will be presented across two screens, allowing one scene to carry into another. The project sits within experimental and slow cinema, drawing on duration, stillness, and sound to create presence through absence. Long takes, minimal action, and ambient audio will be central to the work. Off-screen sound such as footsteps, voices, and environmental noise, alongside visual traces like footprints or marks, will suggest human activity without directly showing it.

Technically, the project will be filmed using a camera mounted on a dolly, moving horizontally through each location with controlled, consistent motion, using rule of thirds to find structures that link each clip together. The movement will shift from slow to faster and back to slow as it transitions into the next space, connecting the two screens. One screen will introduce a new location as the other completes the previous one, for example moving from a stairwell into a car park. Editing will prioritise smooth transitions rather than cuts, allowing movement and pacing to guide the viewer.

The viewing experience will be quiet and reflective, encouraging the audience to slow down and observe everyday spaces more carefully.

Fantasia is an anthology of different short films, all unrelated from one another, unified by the fact they're from the same animation studio.

Each short has a different style and tone, and make a varying degree of sense. Sorcerer's Apprentice has a little story to it featuring Mickey Mouse, but then something like Night on Bald Mountain is a metaphor about Satan and his minions. There's no connection to any of them, and they come across more like visual paintings.

These comes across as especially experimental as Disney films in the 40s like Bambi and Pinocchio have traditional story structures.

The final film from Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami is a wordless series of sketches elaborating on his lifelong fascination with photography. Consisting of 24 four-and-a-half minute sketches—each a digitally manipulated, fixed-frame view of a scene from nature—24 Frames allows the late Kiarostami to evoke the moments before and after a still image has been captured, and to explore the thin line between natural and artificial beauty. Largely absent of humans, and alternating between color and black-and-white, these poetic miniatures gradually come to life with subtlety, giving rise to the poignant and mysterious possibilities of the moving image.
