    Evaluation I stared this project with a very shake start not really knowing what to do for this project. I went from looking at Ben Langland's and Nikki Bell work about the air routes of the world to mapping time with light and shadows to then looking in to Objects that were abandoned on the street which I had done Previously as last year’s summer project, but I wanted to develop it and make an Installation. This is where I stay but I Calibrated with Ance ,Kylan and Brodie as we had ideas that were Similar. This was great as since I did the documentary last year I really enjoyed working as part of a team as you get to share your ideas and get feedback. I liked how if, I was unsure on something that I would always have someone there telling me their opinions on what I have done. With this project I really like the idea of placing objects in Unusual places where they wouldn’t Usually being. This made me question the objects which is what we wanted the Audie...

Editing time!! As the editor it was my job to sort out the order of the objects and as i was looking at all the rushes i was think about my everyday life and what time of the day i would use these objects so i messaged the group chat a told them my idea for the lay out for the films which will help Ance and Brodie with Recording the sound.  Order  - jacket  - flowers  - tea  - camera - laptop - chair - light  - guitar  - shampoo - mirror - TV - throw  - books  - moon  After going though  the rushes and Finalising which shot would make the cut I Realise that some of the shot were to Shake so i had to use warp stabilizer to smooth it out without messing up the backgroud of the shot also I was finding it hard to use warp stabilizer as the sequence setting was different as we wanted it to be portrait so I just did it in landscape and then Exported the shake footage landscape. After ...

Filming time  We started off quite slow, didnt help that we was carrying heavy Equipment and the objects to different Locations. we had a Struggle using the glide cam as we all tried to Figure out how to use it after only been Inducted to it briefly . i think we all wanted to use it but we was wasting more time by Figuring it out and not Actually filming. so we left the gilde cam and went out filming in farnham park. Even thought the filming bit wasn't my part we still worked together Especially when we was trying to figure out where to place the objects even thought ance took photos of the area Before hand. I did take a few shots and tried to keep Record of the shots but it was hard to keep track and we ended up using two cameras. me Attempting to keep a Record on what shots. For the flowers we picked a shot were there was a lot of Brown tweaks and leaves in looked like a little cave Surrounded by branches. I know that we was having some Problems with shoting on...

Maps and Networks  During study week I stared to film my ideas and hope to then develop them but as I was doing them they didn't go to plan. After the study week I was talking to Ance about my ideas and how an object can change value based on its environment and looking at the history of the object. Ance was telling me how she was working with objects as well and that we could combined our ideas which i thought was a good idea as i was stuck on what to do with my ideas.  Then after i said i would join, we ended up being a team of 4 me, Ance, Brodie and kylan we all had ideas that was Quite similar . my idea was being how an object can change value based on its environment and looking at the history of an object. Ance’s idea being looking into people’s connections with their belongings. Kylan’s idea being an abstract portrait of home and family relationships. Brodie’s idea being an investigation between peoples relationship with installation art, specifically focusing...
