4d: I see you

The video shows us an isolated viewpoint that indirectly imply a sense of relationship. Accompanied by sounds of nature, which represent the calmness and unspoken feelings, the video demonstrates selective observation of someone in connection.

4d: Progress

This is my update for my video.

I have changed it to just an isolated view of a set of hands. The white bars help to further isolate the shot just like in my reference.

It seems much stronger than my last video where I did many shots of isolated viewpoints. Feedback had be given to me to extend the video to 10 min long and I’m still going to put sounds of nature in the background.

I’m a bit worried that the shot may be a bit grainy.

My new 50 words:

4d: Sketch Video + Improvements

The video shows us an isolated viewpoint that indirectly imply a sense of relationship. Accompanied by sounds of nature, which represent the calmness and unspoken joy, the video demonstrates selective observation of someone in endearment.

I took a series of closeups of someone hoping that it would show a viewpoint of someone in love. It might be too much and a single 1-2min shot of a focused viewpoint would be stronger in portraying my message. Something like what I have researched in my previous post.

This is my first try.

4d: Research + Idea

Thursday Afternoon

Andrew Johnson

Thursday Afternoon is a video work that explores the passage from Youth to Maturity where a dramatic and unsettling alteration is nevertheless, gradually and even almost invisibly realised.

Silent Sight

Zineb Sedira

In the artist’s work, women answer the gazes to which they are subjected by others. Sedira uses the voice-over in Silent Sight to talk about veiling and the impact of her mother’s veil on little Zineb, all the while looking at the spectator. This slow form of witness effectively creates a space of ‘intimate unrest’ between the onlooker and herself. Sedira reflects and returns the gaze.

The video shows us a series of isolated viewpoints that indirectly imply a sense of closeness, warmth & coziness. Accompanied by sounds of nature, which represent the calmness and unspoken joy, the video demonstrates selective observation of someone in love.

4d: Idea

My video would indirectly suggest a relationship by showing close ups of a person maybe travelling in a train. Those close ups cannot be taken if the person filming it is not “close” to him in that way.

I would also like to overlay of flowers splashing into clear water like the stills below by an artist called, Gilles Bensimon, to indicate the refreshing, lively feeling of being in love.

Gilles Bensimon is a famous for fashion photography and helped shaped the magazine that it is today. He does not consider himself an artist but recently he made photographs of fresh cut flowers that are submerged in water.
