Pixelation.

We worked in a group of four girls myself, Beth, Stephanie and Gemma.
When we were assigned our project, we were given 300 or so photos to take that would create 20 seconds of seemless film.
So we began, when thinking of a narrative as a group we came up with a few ideas, however they all seemed fairly small subjects so we produced a concuction of a few of them. I think its a rather random mix but in parts I feel it does relate to student living. Especially as we filmed in university halls.
In our shots we wanted to portray a sense of unusual behaviour that is often related to the student life. In the first few shots I appear to be making a cup of tea but afterwards I begin to behave in a strange manner, for example taking copius layers of clothes off and falling down the stair case. It raises the question, Was it really tea i drank? Maybe someone spiked the water in the kettle.
The idea of wearing multiple layers was to resemble the issues women have with deciding upon what to wear, especially during freshers week as we had so many fancy dress outfits to get sorted. The way I have edited it gives it a sense of confusion with the two images overlapping, this was achieved by copying and pasting some of the photos above the origionals and then bringing the opacity of them both down to 50%. Also when reversing the sequence it looked quite unique as the clothes seem to be put back on effortlessly almost as if their was a magnetism between myself and the items.
I think it looks really effective when I'm falling down the stairs, as what would of normally been quite a painful accident we made into a controlled but still natural looking fall. Although at one point I did actually fall but the end result was worth the bruise. The inspiration for this came from the video below which we were shown earlier on before this project.
