Watching the films each team made in our class web site was quite a different experience than making a film. Honestly I thought it looked better embedded in website with the titles at the beginning. Each film was similar but different. I thought other team had better control over the camera and their screen looked stable. I was surprised at the amount of the street noise especially the cars make all over the film. I got so used to it, so it never annoyed me. Watching all the films, I was tempted to make audio samples of the street noise, car honking, talking of peoples and the male singers singing and piano sound and sound of the handballs’ bouncing by extracting and chopping and make it sound like some music by editing. It must require a lot of editings. I got an idea of establishing a rhythmic pattern using handball sound by copying and pasting many times and adding some other sounds here and there. As I was asked to create something using the films as a source, watching our films, all of the sounds in them suddenly sounded like sound source to me. Street noise sounded like a ambient bass sound, car honking sounded similar to horns and there were so many sounds to be heard like a sound source to music. Someday, I want to explore these idesa and play with it and see how it comes out.
I wrote a poem inspired by the film ever team made. Watching the videos that captured the movements, I realized everything was moving and life is a movement. If something is not moving, it means it is rarely alive. The title of my poem is
‘ Lif is a moving’
World is moving.
World is moving.
People walking. Pigeons flying.
Dogs are barking.
Cars are honking.
Flags are waving.
Signs are blinking.
I am watching.
I am smelling.
I am recording
the world is moving.
Life is a moving.
