Studio practice

 REPEAT   

This piece was originally filmed to be a part of my project for the castle, this was still part of the shit story’s work so I have decided to use it for both. In this piece I write out one of my own shit story’s on a mirror with lipstick. I called the video repeat as the screen is spilt into two, the same video plays on both sides but starting at different times. A recording of me reciting the story plays, repeating and overlapping, slowly building. 

The editing of this video has been more adventurous than my usual plain clipped style. I think this still holds a huge amount of that simple clean cut style but this time I recorded and added sound, played around with the split screen, stuff I’ve previously avoided. I hate how my voice sounds recorded, but despite this I’m pleased with how it turned out, it could perhaps be more polished. The story itself is kind of just reciting the thoughts of a frustrating morning, one where things just keep trying to trip you up (a pretty normal morning in my house), the video is supposed to be a reflection of the mind in those moments. I sent it to my sister, she too has lived many mornings like that when she lived at home with us, she said it was great but felt like ptsd and stressed her out, I think that means I was successful. I think I want to experiment more with sound and editing in future videos.
