This week Kino came to a close. I have really enjoyed this project, the experimental context allowed me to pursue theoretical ideas as a tangible practical outcome. Most of the audiences I have shown the film to have not ended up anywhere near the concepts that I wanted to address, but the process has been constructive.
Blogging the process for this project has been less structured than I would have looked as I wanted to explore so many ideas I ended up with a lot of long draft posts that I wanted to refine before publishing. For the movement project I really want to try and find a way of shortening each of the posts to give me a better chance of refining it in one sitting. I think this will really help me to manage the evolution of my ideas to structure how my first principals have become the realised artefact.
There are probably too many ideas in a three minute film, but how can we be sure of an audiences reading of a film when their eyes are scanning between two screens, there are so many variables. I think that the images and sounds have become loaded with so many concepts that in developing the project further I would consider ways to give the audience some sort of foothold to begin the climb.
Amongst the blank faces though I received one comment that made me feel like I was starting to approach something that I was concerned with. One of my peers commented that the long duration of the same image made him start watching the space between the screens. Something that I had wanted to achieve from my first ideas.
