For today's "Free For All" journal entry I think I want to use the space to elaborate of my Narrative piece, as for last week's "work recap" entry, I hadn't yet finished my Narrative video edit and didn't want to share too much before it was done. Now that I have presented it to the class, and its in the past, i might as well write about it a little.
Right from the get-go, I pretty much knew i wanted to make a video, or montage of some sorts. However when i thought of video narratives, i continuously was turned off by the possibility of a corny video story. I actually came upon the idea that i followed through while watching a surf movie which was based on a day in the life of one of the worlds best. I thought, seeing how most "day in the life" videos seem to be basically the same, just a camera following someone around, it would be funny to change it up, and make a video about a day in my life... through the travels, trials and tribulations of my shoes.
To follow through with this project, every time i left a location, putting on, or taking off my shoes, i took photos of the process, and every time i left my shoes somewhere for a period of time, i took photos of them. I then proceeded to edit these photos together in sequential order (including a few photos of my feet without shoes to illustrate the fact that my shoes are often left waiting, bored, while their companions are doing their own thing), with title slides for the main "scene breaks" throughout my day.
I thought that it was pretty funny that representing my day through this perspective allowed what was actually quite an eventful day to transform into what seems like a total bore.
