Fields & Frames with Vicky
Notes:
"Never over complicate"
Let the audience decipher the story on their own
The intent of the film?
Reflexive = examines itself.
Create rules for project for maximum effectiveness

Important how the camera works with the space and subject.
Think how your body can emulate a rig or a machine to create certain effects. Use the body as a resource (The most effective ways is to create a set of rules)
Think about how to us the camera differently

Think about how to us the camera differently
Refer to my previous work, and how to relate theory, how can I fix my mistakes, and develop theory more. And think through how it can inform practice.
To Explore:
John Goddard (counter cultural) uses cinema to make the audience engage - keep movies more "open"
Michael snow - wavelength (structuralist)
Wood and Harrison - board 1993
- it was able to create lots of movents while using restrictions. It was also effective in the sense that it humoured in a way. Such as the character when he was sliding .
Wood and Harrison - Headstand 1995
- a simple action can do so much. By again creating constraints you get more of a lively action
Anchiana and deleux 1927 (use of intertitles)
Hand catching lead - Richard serra 1968
Very high key, repetitive, still camera, hands get more figity at the end.
Reflexive, artist portraying himself. Artist might not be looking, Richard
Dwela oikwe your so close to something but it slips away. Makes us feel for the artist, and hope he catches a it. Very repetitive like machine.
Tony Hill - The history of the wheel
Om - John smih 1986
One of the most effective pieces so far, "never judge a book by its cover".

Notes:
It's important to show the fluidity and motion of the body. And the path it takes.
Try to explore the relation between bodies together.
Music doesn't have to be synchronised.
Not the whole body has to be the subject. But even body parts (e.g. Hands. Look at references)
Look for repetition. Characters intersecting with what? What influences movement? What's the feeling? Is the subject aware of the camera? Maybe the character can be exploring the surrounding.

Is our every day a routine?
