This is It

So yeah I am completely done with my project in regards to the sound I decided to finally add in some overtone of music in just a few small portions. I felt it added to getting the dream like or out of ordinary feel to the piece. The projector makes the movie lighter and more like a dream like state so I feel that is working effectively. But I did bump up some saturation for viewing on the projector and helped that lightness to a degree.

The installation I hope will help convey an ominous feeling towards the peace and the moving of the swings will hopefully give tension to the audience. I'm hoping the swings are not continuously on the viewers mind the whole time rather that they are worried about them in the beginning of the film then realize again in the end that they were there.

With the video I tried to get that sense of what is real and what is exactly a truth of what happened. The truth that the hit occurred is the main thing that I want to get through while the sense that everything else is not for sure. I added the references to two as a side thing for my own reference and decided against the showing of a two bc that would change the flow since the whole piece is in first person perspective.

The ending I hope would resolve and not resolve the situation since I left it ambiguous as to whether in the end if the viewer avoided it or not. I asked some people and a dew thought that they avoided the swing and the others thought the swing hit them in the end. I view it more as that it definitely missed them but then the sirens sound ending makes it seem like they were hit or is foreshadowing the future that it will occur.

I view it that you need to see the movie several times to fully understand it but so far so good and I would like to go back into the piece and redo some things and tweaking so a more definitive message gets across bc the different people i showed it to had different readings. Which I enjoy but maybe to hone it in more would be interesting.
