TIME - Experimental Media




Time - Short Film

We were given a the theme of Time and allowed creative control to explore the theme in whatever way we wanted. At the end of the project we had to produce a short film. My first idea was to create a time lapse of my own personal photographs from Birth to the present day, this would show the idea of change and growth over time. However I decided to explore something more symbolic and suggestive, similar to the work of Bill Viola.

This new approach did require much more planning, and a larger crew to capture all of the shots that I wanted. It also required strict safety precautions due to the use of fire.


Finished Film



I wanted to show a measure of time, and how it consumes. I feel that I successfully showed this by using the fire and showing how it consumes the rope that it is lit upon. The rope was positioned around to represent a clock, further placing emphasis of time. If I was to create this project again, I would have made the clock much more clear and detailed.
