Shooting exercise 1


For this exercise we had to shoot footage and record sound at two different locations and put the two together. We did this is pairs, one of us shot the footage and the other one recorded the sound. We stared at the union building and walked in opposite directions for 15 minutes. I ended up walking to a busy construction site and a car park. Even though they were next to each other one was really busy and noisy and the other one was really quiet which. This made me realise that even though the sound and footage was shoot separately at different places it could be put together and still make sense to the viewer. I would compare our work to that of Joe King and Rosie Pedlow and their work called Strange Lights. I think our work is similar because even though the footage and the audio are two completely separate. They link up work well together and the viewer can take in both the audio and visuals and understand what is going on. One piece of work that contrasts our work is The Clearing with Derek Jarman. Not only is this because his footage was shot at a different location. His was shot in a forest whereas ours was shot in a city. Also ours has clear edits whereas his flows form one shot to the next. But his audio links up to the footage and gives us a clear understanding of what is going on.

We also shot a Coke can because that also has a distinctive sound that people could recognise even when it is not in shot. This piece of work has taught me that you can hear something without it being in shot and it will still make sense and the audience will still know what’s going on. For example we used the sound of a Coke can without it being in shot, but the audience still knew what that going on and what they were hearing. We also did this with the fountain. We shot close up with the Coke can but with sound of the fountain. Even though we couldn’t see the fountain in shot we knew it was nearby because we could hear it.   Our work is similar to the short film Photograph of Jesus. In the film a narrator is talking about his job and some of the ridiculous requests he gets on a...
