Experimenting with times of day

The memories that we film will not necessarily follow a linear structure. Whilst experimenting with the idea of looking through windows, some photography that I did made me think about how we could film in easily accessible locations at different times of day, to convey new meaning within our visuals. We could end up showing the same content in the daytime and evening, and the two could look completely different, as well as the mood and overall tone of the piece adapting alongside this.

An example of this is the image below - by adjusting the focus on the camera the outside world seems unimportant, but the rain is focused upon from an inside point of view, which could possibly suggest that the subject's perspective that we are filming from is feeling trapped, and suggest a sense of loneliness. This could fit in well with our theme of reflection; looking back at memories which are becoming less clear as time goes on.













Another idea that I came across whilst taking adjusted shutter speed photographs is how we could possibly incorporate still images into our piece, perhaps during the beginning opening sequence, when we see an eye blink and the sound of a camera click to create the impression that a photograph is being taken. If we chose to do this, it could further be associated with the idea of a photograph being a frozen moment in time, and could lead the narrative from the perspective of the subject as they are left only with these fragments of memory.
