Review and Analysis

Possible titles: Do Not Disturb or The Red Carpet

Experimental film and installation.

First draft complete, although needs consistency and build up, however when it works it works well.

Part 1:

Initial travelling house scene and abstract number narrative sets up nicely, interesting visuals that flow well, the difficulty being in when to have silence / no visual.  The visuals will at times bring you back to the installed room and it's important references relate from film fantasy to experienced reality for the viewer although the difficulty at this stage is not being able to review the work in spacial context, although at this stage I'm confident that I will have enough time to review this aspect before the deadline.  Dolls house footage could be added here although to what effect I don't know.  I feel that I want to enforce the roles of personal / social as going back and forth between the personal belonging to the room and the social as viewed experience through the film.

Part 2:

The tension is building but must remain consistent with visual / audio references to part 1.  I have experimented with adding other sourced narratives from interviews etc but as yet have not found anything that quite fits, however I think this will fall into place in time.

Ads:

I enjoy the vagueness of the first constructed ad. Cleansing and ritual are important and I feel the ads add a further layer to narrative.  Could possibly end / begin (loop) the plane footage and audio to add a sense of arriving / leaving and a sense of the elsewhere.

Shots to film:

Dolls house
long wide slow moving pathways as per locations sited. Maze like.
Still moments, although these could be converted to moments of stillness within the installed room and may not be necessary.  Also these could be interpreted as too Chantal Ackerman Hotel Monterey.

Installation notes:

Dado rail, dark bottom light top for screening.  False wall, door refurb, back of door map and red carpet.  Also possibly a wash basin depending on discreetness.
