Film Part 2

As the theme of my work began to evolve I began thinking about the ways in which we use both photographic and film based mediums in the modern setting. Within the information age we now use both still and moving images as a kind of proof of our existence, and most of us do this now via social networking. We each create endless archives of photos and videos that will carry on long after we exist. Why do we do this? Is it simply something to leave behind, much like the cave paintings of our ancestors?

I decided that I wanted to increase my project by creating three separate films. I would use the aforementioned film as part one, and this piece would inspire a further two films that would follow it in sequence. Film two intends to address our use of photographic/image archiving. In order to present this idea on film I have decided to use various images (some I will take myself and some will be sourced online) to create a juxtaposition of these images with a photo roman. 

These images will be a collection of on-line stills that people use to document both their lives and their existence, as well as physical man made proof of mans existence – such as buildings, graffiti, statues etc. These stills will be carefully positioned to create a slow moving slideshow of images that will be presented as a photo roman.
