Help!!!

I’m really stuck on this project and my problem has a slight air of urgency as I have to give the camera back in the morning and its booked on all the other days.

So any help within the hour would be fantastic!!!

This two and a bit week landscape and intervention project is to be resolved in a short film by Tuesday, so I should know what I’m doing. My idea was to film the changing natural and artificial light on a box that I brought my stuff up to Dundee in. This was meant to examine the reality of living in these newly built halls.

So I started filming last week thorough the day and got some nice shots, unfortunately I left the box out on Friday and someone has apparently snaffled it, It is Dundee.

So now I have to change boxes and some how work this into the idea.

I can’t really just change to a complete different box with different connotations without mentioning it can I?

I was thinking I could do the video in three sections.

1. The original box empty with natural light,

2. this new ikea storage box with stronger overhead lighting

and possibly 3. the new box remodelled (hehe) to look like the old box using the Dedo lighting kit and the overhead lights.

I was thinking that would draw attention to the idea of the heightened awareness of our living arrangements.

I have two other wee problems too, i just got a text to say that the camera I have isn’t working and now its been cleaned but I’m not sure it’ll make any difference.

Plus I’m really not sure if this is what I’m expected to do, not that that matters. I’m sure other people are filming landscape and not giving a Public Artesque consideration to the concept.

What do you think???

Thanks for reading

I finally feel like we’ve gotten started on the course, phew.

We were given our first TBA brief, about landscape and installation. Yay this sounds like site specific only in the medium of film. So I’m really looking forward to this.

And we were even given an introductory lecture so I know what kind of things are expected of me.

I had a bit of a mixed day though

Things that gave me the Yes feeling hehe

Making it into college on time even when I woke up five minutes before it started, Berlin, context, sound-waves and light, Bruce Nauman, Joseph Beuys, some excitin stuff that the DCA are doin just down the road, the level 2 leader talking about each of us being a black box that have picked up individual experiences over the years. Oooh and being able to go back to my flat for a free lunch!!

Things that gave me the No feeling

Waking up five minutes before I had to be in college, Banksy and Antony Gormley and that’s not too bad.

Its only two and a half weeks though so I better get started!!
