This film looks at aural tension. This film looks specifically at level 4 of the '7 levels of tension'. I decided to use the track 'Crashes and 8's' from Philip Chambon's soundtrack created for Swansong.
This track's melodic structure and chord progression creates tension for the listener and I have paired it with slow paced imagery to complement the fast the tempo of the track.
Fire is a natural element that cause deep instinctive and primal discomfort due to its destructive nature - It was because of this that I chose to use fire as a visual in this film.
During the storyboard process of this film I knew that close up shot would be predominantly used throughout this film as I wanted to bring the viewer even closer to the flame than they would in real life. In this film I also experimented with the angle of the footage. Every shot in this film has an angle offset of at least 14 and -14 degrees to give the film an uneasy feeling as not everything was lined up correctly (deliberately).
I left this film in a 16:9 framing format as I felt that it would enable me to get the best shots.
Overall, I feel that this film was very successful and I plan on using more fire imagery in more of my work. I also plan on experimenting with making my own accompaniment for my films.
