Moving Wallpaper

Based on a book I once read.

The title is about an insult.

ok.ok. so basically, I was trying to make a little example of some of the concepts in this book I once read on a summer day and just exploring what the media would/could do. It's a very psychological film.

In one section, I am studying how words

on a screen

affect

the viewer (you).

Do these words make the viewer feel more spoken to than if someone were to aurally speak them?

Does the viewer hear the voice of the singer in the background or his own voice?

The next section I like to call my watching clouds section. I love to hear all of the different things that people see after they've seen it. Everyone sees different things. Too often I feel films are so action driven that they forget
to stop

and

reflect.

The next two sections are related. I distort a familiar sound but do not place any images to it (ha ha ... go ahead, ask me what it is).

I was wondering what people would associate the sound with. In the next section, I was exploring

1. the "anempathetic effect" where a benevolent sound will sound benevolent
on it's own, but after traumatic events will sound malignant, almost
derisive

and

2. the association with the sound from the previous section, is it now warped? the same? I also study the pysiological aspect of film. I have an image with beats, does the viewer's pulse/breathing tune in with the sound or the image? After a break in the rhythm, I take away the sound, but the image is faster. Does the viewer's pulse/breathing
synch in with the image? Is s/he a little bit more breathless after?

What the heck is that thing anyway?

ha ha ha ...

The last section is just another watching clouds section. I use words on the screen that do not have any association with what they're describing and wonder what effect it has on the audience. I also attempt to spell out sounds, something I read/learned about in my avant garde music class. I also use images that do not have any association with what they're describing until now that I've made the association.

I just think this section is pretty.

Someone once described is as being similar to "___"'s treats, but I've forgotten not only the director's name but the name of the work as you can see/read ...

I'm sorry for the poor quality.

Unfortunately, the film was compressed so far that it lost much of the intricate editing I put into it.

I spent a week in a tiny room with no windows editing it. Oh I was in love with it. Now look at all that's left of my little film.

Mon pauvre petite chou chou.

So it goes.
