Module 1: Introduction To Screen Media Practise #8 Narcissus Done
Hello All.
Just a little note to say that my 2 minute video retelling the Myth of Narcissus was completed over the Christmas break, It was filmed in one day and edited in about 3.
The film stars me playing narcissus and my sister as Ameinias, although we were never in a single shot together. I feel the silhouettes worked wll, especially becuase it was difficult to light the screen correctly causing some issues. The imges of fire were all filmed over christmas and I only managed to get a 20 second clip that I had to loop and felt that some blur effects would merge more of the colours.
The music in the video is from an instrumental track by a band called Nine Inch Nails off thier free album 'The Slip' I then reversed the track and increased the speed of it marginally to fit the length of the video giving amore distorted and obscure sound. I decided to leave out lots of sound effects as I felt that the music signifies the strange experience of fire reading and often the hallucinogenic drugs that the oracles were quite often using.
You can watch the video by cliking on 'My Videos' over there ------>
Enjoy. I will begin production of pandora within the week.
Rob.
