Unfortunatly I have been unable to actually create my You Tube video as I have no way of filming it; so I've decided exactly what I want to show for this task. I am going to tell you my ideas for this video and why I have chosen certain things to symbloise where I am in life.
I feel this way I don't feel like Im as behind on the tasks and will upload the actual video as soon as I can borrow or rent a video camera!
For my You Tube video I decided that I wanted to take a more 'art like' approach as I feel more comfortable in expressing myself through movement, images and music rather then speaking. This I feel a lot of performers and maybe maily singer/dancers will be able to relate to, and I want people to take my video in any way they like; and will be interested to see what emotions and thoughts it provoces for people once it's up.
I felt it best to show how I feel at my current point in my career after looking at the few posts I had time to do in October. The previous sentence says it all really; my life has just become to hectic! It is mainly filled with early mornings, traveling, learning new material, countless auditions, new begginings and jobs. All of this is physically draining but my determination and clear views on what I want out of life are what drive me forward and keep me going as well as my love for performing.
I've chosen to film things that I feel express this. I want to show the travel by showing busy roads, trains arriving, people rushing about on the underground and countless feet walking and crossing eachother. I want to show how much work this field requires by showing piles of sheet music and plays and regection letters. I then however want to show how mine and most peoples efforts do not go unoticed and you will get what you want as long as you'r determined you can do it! I will show this with exaples of the work i have got to show all the stress and busyness is worth it in the end.
The track I have chosen to be played throughout the video is "Nothing in my way" Keane, Hopes and Fears Album. I feel this song says it all and much more than I could express myself through words. Even before the lyrics come it the music fills me with a sence of determination, drive and hopes and dreams for the future and this ties up where I am right now. And I even feel excited about my life and all the possibilities before I've shown this on camera.
I can't wait to get filming and share it with anyone who wants to see it!
While I'm waiting for the equipment I need to do this Im going to carry on with the next tasks as I feel even before showing this video for Task 1c I have gained a lot from the planning of it, and it has provoced and helped bring to the surface how I feel about my current situation.
Please feel free to post any comments you have about this idea, as well as some ways I can get to filming it and finding a video camera!
I hope I've at least been able to paint a picture in your minds of what I want to show or at least planted the seed for what is to come.
imagination plays a great part for me in picturing something. For instance in reading a novel I rely on the author's description of a character for my vision of that person. But I draw this image in my head. Or, I hear voices on the radio and again an image pops into my ming. And so when I read your intention to film feet scurrying by and trains on tracks etc I could easily visualise the effect. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosemary. I too have the same thing, I visulise things happening as I read or even listening to a radio play. Im glad you were able to visualise this in the same way as me as it defenetially got my imagination going!
