time AF and light properly

use stuff easily accessible to you
think simple:
rice instead of sand/soil
lemon instead of sticks (?)
hole of that box (reuse the assemblage)

soil/sand filling up a hole, surrounding & drowning you

shadows wandering around the flat (white wall)

An experimental short film based on a poem to capture its feeling and content in filmic and graphical ways. In order to capture the feeling of this poem, different objects are filmed in extreme close-ups under the influence of light. The footage is abstract but elegant. Kinetic typography is applied to emphasize certain phases of the poem. Also, dramatic music has been chosen to give a haunting touch to the whole video.

surrounded

# data[].attributes.body
think about what you feel in the flat
when you have no where to escape to
ppl are always around you, looking at you, peering in through a gap/hole

# data[].attributes.body
feel like being surrounded

# data[].attributes.body
series of photos that show solitude, escape, comfort and at peace in my happy place.

bring that to exfilm

= bring the feeling of trappedness

Hi Sakinah, what was special in your initial development was the idea of layering and peering/peeping through something. There was depth in terms of the space produced that makes it interesting. Your draft video does not produce the same impact at the moment. The attached video (below) you did had a better feel.
Remember not to be too literal in your interpretation and capture the essence and the aura of the 'memory'. Remember the photos you took for modpop assignment? I think somewhere along that line but with more experimentation will be more ideal for this assignment.

feeling trapped/covered/longing for home/surrounded
have some footage of home

# data[].attributes.body
initially, i planned for clearly established layers of separate elements.
then, i actually forgot that and laid them out, overlapping together.
i dont know which is better

# data[].attributes.body
the flooring will be littered with more wilting leaves and crumpled up receipts
the exterior will be covered with old newspaper

# data[].attributes.body
i tried suspending the receipt with floss
and i kinda liked it
reminded me of caged birds for some reason

# data[].attributes.body
i tried to glue the receipts to the hdb boxes

# data[].attributes.body
ill need to find a new way to incorporate the receipts.

# data[].attributes.body
today i learnt what heat does to receipts

# data[].attributes.headline
tried different methods of drying the leaves

i think most probably a montage of memories of HOME cause that makes more sense, itll be the last most hidden layer.

# data[].attributes.body
a bee hive box,
(with holes at the sides to let some light in and peep through the layers or have light in the box itself)
with removable layers,
(how to make it thin and easy to remove, use satay sticks? how to 'laminate' into one piece?)
and a main peep hole to see through,

with a video/audio projection.
(montage; compile footage of past memories at home)

# data[].attributes.body
noises at hdb or home?

HDB:
clear, ppl walking by, loud tv, glass going down the rubbish chute, never quiet
(the noises of ppl in close proximity to me)

HOME:
muffled, fireworks? my cats? driving? quiet? things i could do at home that i cant do now

# data[].attributes.body
macbook at the most back layer?

video of me being trapped and writing and erasing like Amy McIntyre's Forgiveness?

maybe a montage of what i left behind, what i want to go back to, to my home?
