Five Things

1. contemplative video intro & tech demo
    • art as process
      • series of ongoing events
      • movement, effect, building of
    • didactic art [response, critique, education, propaganda]
      • to the point
      • political/social/etc purpose
      • central park gates
    • art as formalism
      • concerned about shapes, colour, light, image itself
2. Theme Sound Critique

After discussing the next video assignment, we continued theme sound critiques. I was satisfied with mine as I was listening to the feedback. Although no one said "insomnia" outright, they were talking about a sense of building anxiety and even dream like, which is what I was trying to portray insomnia as. Considering I had circa ten times more sleep than usual that week I was working on the project, I surprisingly was able to create a project that defined insomnia for me.

3. Practicing with Video Camera

For the five minute still camera shoot, I decided to place the camera low to the ground next to a bike rack [you can see the bike rack but its to the left]. I was interested in this spot because there were huge waves of people going to the bus stop, but there'd be breaks with just a few people. I just liked the variety of people walking, running, biking, etc, and thought it'd turn out well.
