After watching these films, we were in turn instructed to create our own experimental film which was given the title of ‘One Day’. I interpreted this as being a Day in My Life kind of film and decided to film every single thing i did on one whole day but as it turns out, one whole day didnt really capture the whole sense of my daily routine so i ended filming my film over a 2-3 days. My first edit was more of a vlog style kind of video as that was what i was accustomed to as i would always watch vlogs on youtube, but when i showed it to my teacher he said it was too conventional which is correct because most recent videos on youtube is like that while we were told to make a experimental film. So i decided to pay around with filters--in fact, i think i used 90% of the filters on my Final Cut Pro X and i also played around with the speed. For the background music, i went back to my trusty Soundcloud as i have a playlist in there where i collect hype electronic music that i could use for videos, i also included the first Indonesian president President Soekarno reading Indonesia’s Proclamation of Independence. I like to edit videos, in fact, it was one of my skills back in highschool as i was always involved in the backstage crew consequently having to edit videos to promote school events or projects. And i would always edit videos to the song/beat which is what i did in this video--one of my mistakes as my final feedback was to let the natural sounds come to play and not use the kind of music i used as it was more catered to young people which is why friends my age really liked it but my teacher didnt.
In this video, i wanted to be as real and raw as possible to my audience which is why i showed the process of waking up after several snoozes on my alarm.
This clip was a clip which was repeated simultaneously across the video but with different formats like this one was with the kaleidoscope filter. The video was just a scene of a beautiful day in Mile End Park when the sky was blue and dog was running across the camera.
This next frame showed the view from my room’s window and i overlapped it with a clip of my college’s life--i played around with it.
I showed a clip of me getting ready and putting some makeup, combined with a clip of my oyster plate.
I showed the process of me going to the INTO centre--going through the bus and into the lift.
First thing would always be going to the studio!
During the break, my friends and i would go for lunch in one of the restaurants nearby.
In the middle of the day, i would have a non-art class which is marketing with Mr. JP Okeke.
After a whole day’s work, a few survivors and i would go home at 10 and we would usually play around.
Going by the tube is a daily thing to do, and seeing someone busking is also a common sight.
As you can see on the left-hand side, i included a clip of the repeated Park video but i cropped it so only the tree can be seen.
Walks from the Mile End Station back to my accomodation is a staple thing in my routine, its usually not that exciting, hence i put the kaleidoscope as the background.
Because it was on a weekend night, me and my friends decided to go for dinner in the central in an oyster place.
Going back from the restaurant, I love walking along Regent Street because i love the seeing the luxury shops in a row especially when it’s lit with street lights at night.
Hanging out in the common room used to be a daily thing--the common room buzzing with people socializing by playing pool and playing the guitar and singing along.
As i had to do something for my sketchbook, i had a photoshoot for the reflective jacket with my friend on the Mile End Park’s hill. I love it when i put the trailing filter on the clip where the reflective bits are lit, i think it looks cool.
Walking through the second floor pink hallway in order to go is an everyday routine for me.
When i get comfortable in my room, i would pop out my laptop to end my night with watching a youtube video or a movie.
Before sleeping, i would always check my phone once more and go through my instagram looking as i always do.
Preparing and going to bed finally after a packed day!
Here is the original unedited clip of the video which i repeated over and over again in the video but with a different format or filter each time.
