Embedded Files
I've decided to make a video linking all the work I've done together. It'll be based on Kintsugi, and show how like pottery, we too can get broken or injured in life. However despite life's traumas, we pick our selves up and put ourselves back together, and that shouldn't be something we're ashamed of. Like in Kinsugi, out flaws and 'scars' make us unique. We would be average without them. If we were to highlight the beauty in our brokenness, we would be much more valuable and feel complete in ourselves.
1080p.MOVI want the video to create the feelings of discomfort and build tension within the audience as its based on trauma (in a metaphorical abstract way) and every one will be able to relate. The video focuses on the negative leave it on a bit of a cliff hanger.
The poem I'd written for the audio of the poem is titled 'life comes creeping'. I believe this adds to the atmosphere of the video as it builds up energy which is fairly abruptly released at the end with the 'climax', then a cliff-hanger. I plan to then make a second part of the movie, as a picture video to show the slow progressive stages of Kintsugi painting in gold (which is metaphorically the piecing together of ones self after an unfortunate event that leaves us in pieces.
I like the dark filter on the video, it adds to the dark unsettling feelings it provokes, as well as having it at night. I also considered the different camera angles and think that some added well to the tension (high and low angles which forced the viewer to feel the inferiority of the jug). This was a psychological trick to encourage the feelings that I had wanted to provoke. The scenes towards the end however were recorded with the wrong positioning of the phone (portrait instead of horizontal) which resulted in a square screen instead of a rectangular screen. Also my editing skills are very minimal but I tried my best.

I plan to then create a video to show the progressive stages of piecing the pottery back together and the gold growing over the cracks. This will aim to be a calming peaceful video that numbs the mind and sublimely touches on my recurring theme of strength and all in all the beauty in brokenness in a happier method. A stop motion video would be very cool to try to do.

This was my first time doing a video like this and I found it fairly easy however rather time consuming and stressful in order to remember when to that the pictures. Also this app produced the best results and was most compatible however the water mark in the corner is very annoying and unprofessional but with my minimal resources it had to do.
