This example of Sonia Falcone’s work begins with a disorientating scene, as the video progresses the music becomes less harsh on the ear and the colours deepen. there is constant movement throughtout the projection. The burst of what look like fire and then turn to something which looks more like a star, to warm rosy red tones of what could possibly be a flower and then to graphic lines and cubes. This close up of moving images is something I want to capture in my videos.
Brian Knep is a New Media artist who works alongside science and technology. The work he makes vary in size from tiny, microscopic sculptures to large installtions. He currently lives and works in Boston and he is represented by Ronald Feldman Fine Arts New York.
His series of works Healing Pool were of particular interest. A six channel interactive video installation from 2008, which has custom patterns which tear apart as a person walks on them and rejoin as they move to another part of the installation. He explores the interface between interaction and integration. The patterns change in response to the viewer as does the colour. This notion that the viewer gets to change or recreate the piece is something I hope to establish in my work.

Nuit Blanche Directed by: Arev Manoukian
Short black and white film, dreamlike.
Begins with a crane shot that introduces the viewer to a man on a street, we get his point of view and see the woman he is looking at, In Slow motion - the man, still looking at the woman walks out onto the road into a puddle, it splashes. As the woman’s wine glass falls and smashes. the editing makes it seem sureal aswell as the music. The point of view shots create an intimacy despite the road and glass between them. This fantasy world is evident if not in the breaking of the window pane as the woman walks through it, then as the man walks across the road at 2:15. instead of getting hit by the car, the car smashes. There are no boundaries to stop them. It is seamlessly edited as the cutting is done on motion, at the end the camera zooms in close up an
The scene at the start is actually digitally put together and is made up of many different buildings layered and retouched to look like a city. There are a lot of special effects in this film.
The Raven directed by Ricardo de Montreui. A lot of action and movement in this film, from the beginning you can see continuity of editing. The shots are cut on movement so that the eye is drawn to the action in the film rather than the editing. Point of view shots and aerial shots.
