WEEK 5,6,7

IMAGE SEQUENCING AND SOUNDS

-----

la jetee
was screened to us during class. had a total different outtake when i first watched it during my poly days.

-----

during one of the days when my grandma visited, as she was about to leave the house, she held my hand and looked at me. then she said: 婆婆老了。

that moment just paused.

i suddenly felt scared.

could it be her relapse? could it be something evil?

i don't know.

a continuation from the plastic bags, i decided to unravel her secrets and what goes behind the sentence that made me cringe.

-----

A fraction in life of my grandma and her plastic bags

My 76 year old grandma have this obsession of collecting plastic bags from all of her shopping trips. Kept safely like jewels in her drawer, these plastic bags were folded like Samosas, waiting for her to unravel one day.

From the former shopping mavens, Yaohan and Oriental, to present day supermarket giant, NTUC Fairprice; I never knew the reason behind the plastic bags until today.

SYNOPSIS

-----









-----

for music, i will take excerpts from her favourite tunes and digitally enhanced it through pitch, volume, tempo, frequency and beat. with a mix of her tunes, from there i will create the sound for this film.

can silence be a form of sound?
the lag/lack of silence be part of the sound system?

for image editing, i will desaturate the pictures and have a slightly cool,warm tone it.

again, absence of image = an image?

for film editing wise, i will choose to edit it according to the beat of the sounds, with the complement of the multi frames.
the multi frames will illustrate space, and size of the objects that i will portray.
