Not what i want to do

felt filming through documentation was ok but now i feel film is becoming the work.I wanted to focus on sound
Feel like it isnt my work,and im producing things cause ive been asked to,dont feel its MY work and im enjoying it
.Short of filming the same stuff but in a different location i dont what else i can do.Thought about making a circle of sound that resonates off each other that maybe the viewer could stand inthe center of.doubt i have time to completly change what ive done though
tutorial at 2 next monday...

seminar and reviewing my work

After viewing my work in post roduction, although id captured some examples of people being affected by my sound, i wasnt happy. I didnt feel it related to my studio work, the proposal or the work i wanted to focus on.
Notes from seminar

Summary of Session

Screening to see where work is at the moment

subject matter- bit spooky with secret filming (covert)

Before figures in the screen its similar to birdwatching, waiting and observer

Concentrates on observing space

Human interest (antropological

Apply to different spaces – bus stop?

Course of Action Agreed

Dont judge work so shortly after making it take time to reflect, look at artists

Further reading suggested/ Artists referenced

roslin nashishibi -still it looks at things

Tacita dean – eclipse that dont happen

 I really dont want to make my work about people. I cant see where i am going from here but at the moment it appears im moving more into video than sound whic is what i originally wanted to do

Problems in Post production

Got to post production later that i hoped due to unforseen circumstances. Then the harddrive couldnt be detected on the mac so had to try and get hold of another one
After managed to sort this, i couldnt get Final cut pro to detect the dv deck so had touse two different cameras and 3 firewire cables to get my footage up on to the screen
Editing mainly involed me laying the audio track id played in the corridor space on the top of the video tracks.
The harddrive i was given was booke dout by another student so i had to go a long way round saving and exporting my work by saving it through the memory on the tower. This took up even more time and i ended up with a fine and lte for my seminar

Filming

Set up in the coridor spaces, using the bird calls on a hidden mp3 player played out of mini speakers.
I set the camera up in a nearby door way and filmed people walking through a door in the corridor, hoping they may notice the subtle sounds

Rebooked out Marantz

Managed to rebook the marantz out and get some recordings of birds, mainly songbirds,geese and a close recording of a pigeon, by enticing it closer to the microphone with food
These recordings im using for my test piece

Marantz

Booked a marantz out to start recording sound and it didnt work. took it back to the stores and explained and managed to get a new one
Only this time the battery was dead and the charger was broken. Then it was too late to go back to stores cause it had closed
Wont have any of my own recordings ready for this work in progress screening so had to nab some samples of net in accordance to what was discussed previously with Michael
Im going to try and get hold of a cheap mp3 player aand play the sound and record peoples reactions on monday morning.hopefully get some done i time

reflecting and plan of action.

From last tutorial, i will be recording my own sounds using amarantz,listening through headphones and picking up on sounds normaly my brain would filterout.
This sound i will play at next seminar, unknown to other students, and record their responses to film or their response to the disjointed sound
