The home experience

The Home Experience

For my final project, I have chosen to create a video, displaying the experience I have at home in an abstract fashion. The idea of this project was developed from my previous project, which started from brief one and brief two. After completing all the tasks in brief one, I started to develop ideas, which could be used for my final project. The exercises in brief one required the students to explore the concept of ‘space’ psychically and mentally. From this, I started to notice the different experiences of space I have at home, and thereon the differences in the space between day and night, weekdays and weekend. 

    For the second brief, our assignment was to produce a 

video displaying an immersive space at home. For this brief, 

I chose to demonstrate this experience by using a night scene 

where I was looking through a glass, filled up with water, 

sitting next to a lamp.

Lastly, I wanted to combine the main ideas from brief one and two for my video for my final project by using two key concepts;experience at home and immersive. I captured some of the activity that I usually do at home and I cropped parts of it to fit into the frame to make it more interesting. The activity that I chose to put in the video are mainly related to glass and water; activities such as washing the dishes, pouring water, and dropping/breaking the glasses. I also added some effects from the Premiere Program to edit the video.

The sounds effects in the video are from the activities I do; showering, locking the door, things that happen in the surrounding; fire alarm, car noise from the road down stair and some natural sounds such as wind and rain. I used the microphone shotgun to record all the sound effects.

Housemate Snacker

When you write this summary, you can make reference to your work. For example – “I noticed that my housemate has snacks at 2 a.m. [see video Housemate Snacker]. In the video I noticed that my housemate walks out to the kitchen in the dark, and always bumps into the kitchen chairs [sound recording 1 – Chair Bump]. This is giving me ideas for a timer controlled lighting strip, similar to that found in aeroplanes, that can help lead the housemate to the fridge in the dark.
