After creating my previous film ['the lamp'] that experimented with tempo, I wanted to further explore the use of pacing and colour. This film looks at level 4 of the '7 Levels of Tension'.
I have edited this film by speeding up and slowing down the footage in completely random places in an attempt to make the viewer feel uncomfortable. The lack of aural cues aided this effect well. The sound in the film is all the original audio from the footage shot; I edited each section of the film with a different sound distortion to give the film a subtle structural form.
When colour correcting I decided that I wanted to visually correlate to the pace of the film by juxtaposing extreme vibrant colours with washed out opaque colours; these colours have been edited in random points of the film similarly to the pacing and audio. Although this effect work here, I don't think it is something I will expand on in my final piece as I don't believe it creates tension nor takes away from the tension - Visually it looks really nice but I feel that it is not really that relevant to the ideas I plan on exploring in my final piece.
Overall I think that this film is one of the most successful in my project so far due to the way it demands the viewer to feel uncomfortable and disturbed. I would like to create more work in this project that demands the viewer to feel tense.
