Assignment #7: Slideshow

I had a vague idea of what I wanted to achieve with this slideshow, but I'm unsure if I like it or not. The initial idea I had was to take the sound piece I made, which evoked feelings of anxiety, and try to make visuals to match. I wanted to get close up images of the human body (for this version I used mostly the eyes) but I wanted them to be not always be in focus and clear. Not sure if it comes across this way at all.

Here's the link to the video

And here's the video below:


I wish I had a little more time to work on it. I would have probably taken photos of other parts of the body because I have a lot of the same ones and it can feel a little repetitive. I'd also like to play around more with the transitions and timing of each photograph.

Assignment #6: Sound

I was really unsure of how to approach this assignment. I don't know much about sound and I've never really worked with it. What I decided to attempt to do was record sounds from around my apartment--typical things I would hear on a daily basis--and combine them with sounds that I gathered on a recent bus trip to Philadelphia. I'm still not sure how I feel about it now that it is complete, but I do know that I've discovered that I really would love to learn more about sound in general as a medium.

I called the assignment "Home Away From Home". I'm hoping to keep playing around with the noises I've collected/go out and collect more to work on a few more pieces that I will post in the next few days, but for now, here's the link for my first attempt at sound.
