Photography // Sound & Vision

I started to have a look at examples of different types of films made from still images in the three areas that I am looking at and here are the three that stood out to me. I have lightly analysed each video in order to show the positives and negatives of each one to help me decide on which route I would like to go down for my own piece.

Photography // Sound & Vision

Following the tragic death of David Bowie, for my first photography assignment of semester b I have been given a brief inspired by Bowie’s Sound & Vision, in which I am to create a film using only still-images (can use moving image but I’m not going to) alongside a soundtrack composed entirely with royalty-free audio and audio I have recorded myself. I have considered 3 ideas for my project already including:

• An experimental montage
• A documentary montage
• A linear narrative montage

Mike suggested to stay away from a linear narrative which has thrown me as I prefer to do my work in a set order, something that is organised and neat rather than experimental. Whilst I find creativity inspiring, I also find it messy at times and believe that a linear narrative would tell a good story. Nevertheless, I shall do research in both linear and experimental narratives and see where my research takes me.
