More clips

I filmed this clip of blood dripping in water using a negative effect on my mobile, I used the green ink for the blood as in negative gren looks red, but I think that the 'blood' looks a bit like fire and a mini explosion.

This is another film of 'blood' dripping in water, however this time I filmed it normally and used brown ink.

This is a clip of brown ink dripping down an empty sink.

Footage

These are 2 clips of a Mickey Mouse toy car I filmed, I think these could be useful to represent someone having random thoughts. We are always thinking of more than one thing at once and the things that we think of son't always make sense.

This clock could be used to reprersent the passing of time in our video, this was filmed by my mum whilst I attempted to wind the clock really fast.

Video Clips

These are some clips that I filmed of me writing, I thought these could be useful to express the persons thoughts instead of text in our video. I don't think that text would fit in of look probably and instead of having text I think this kind of writing will look better and more natural.

This is a clip I filmed of me blowing out a candle.

Success at last!

Today was finally a success, all the clips went onto the mac and we could start putting the video together. We have the first minute together and at this point it's looking really good. The plan for tomorrow is to collect some more clips and images for the next part of our video and we'll be back in on thursday to sort those out and crack on with the rest.

Footage from Youtube

A beating heart cell.

From axons to tracts: A journey through the brain's wiring.

These are some videos that I found on youtube which I thought might be useful for the parts in our video where we are supposed to be inside the brain/body.

This is a video of someone filming their eye which I found on youtube, they are concentrating on their pupil contracting and dilating, this is the effect I was trying to achieve with my clip.

This is a video of my eye where I was trying to achieve the same effect as the video above, the problem with mine is that when I zoomed in using my camera phone the video wasn't very clear.

Back to College...

So Ally, Carol and I went into college today to finally get started on putting are film together, we all brought our clips and photo's in that we had seperately collected, i brought mine on my memory stick and they uploaded onto the mac without any trouble. Allys clips were on her digi cam and they uploaded fine however something strange happened to her camera and she lost her stuff off it. We had the most trouble with Carols clips, hers were kept on her new camcorder(we tried to upload them straight from the camera), they were also on a dvd which she had burned at home, however neither would let us play the clips. We then decided that if we uploaded them from the camera onto a microsoft computer(in the library) burned the stuff onto a CDRW(bought from the college shop) would mean that we could change the format of the clips so that they would eventually work on the macs(the mac suite), for safe keeping we also downloaded the clips onto my memory stick just incase this might work. However none of this worked, eventually we gave up and called it a day, Carol will tonight resave the clips into a different format so that they will hopefully work on the macs tomorrow when we have another try.

These are some videos that I found on youtube of the matrix code, I thought that they would be a good representation of information of coding in the brain.

Video Ideas After Meeting With Carol and Allyson

Today the three of us all met to discuss our ideas, we all knew that we wanted to do something about the human body. To be more specific we are going to base it on the 'Mind's Eye' where we will be looking into effects on the body, thoughts, what people see, emotions, etc. Over the weekend we are going to collect images and clips of things that can be included in our video, we will then be meeting on Monday at college to start putting or video together.

Ally and I were supposed to be going to Carol's today to get our ideas together so that we could get started on our video, but Carol's still ill with the flu, so we're going to have to arrange another day when Carol's better.

Lava Lamp Videos

After talking to Carol about the environment in which e should show our video Carol experimented with recording her lava lamp. I thought that it might be a good idea to use the lava lamp lighting as lighting whilst our video is being played. I then decided that it would be a good idea for me to record my lava lamp because it is different to Carols; my lamp has plain green lava with large glitter particles in the lava so it gives different lighting compared to normal lava lamps.


These two videos are also of my lava lamp which I filmed using the camera on my phone. For these videos of the lamp I filmed them with an effect on, which was a negative effect. I really liked these videos because I thought that they could be interpreted as blood cells flowing in a vein. I think that this could be useful for our video.

More photo's of my eye, gradually zooming in...

I decided to take the photograph of my eye which I had played around with the saturation. I think that it has a freakyness about it. After thinking about what would be good for the beginning of a video about the 'Mind's Eye', I thought that it would be good to have a zoom into the pupil of an eye which would then just lead to blackness as you were entering the mind. To show this effect I zoomed into the original photo and took screen shots as I zoomed into the pupil. I think that this would be like a warping effect, which would be a good beginning for a video.

Photo's of my eye...

This is a photograph of my eye normally, however when I took it my eye was a little bit bloodshot.

This is another photograph of my eye, with this photo I played with the saturation settings on my phone to alter the colouring of the photo.

When taking this photograph of my eye I took it with the negative effect on my phone.

I think that all these photo's could be used in some way for our video.

Carol, Allyson and I plan to meet up on the 8th to start planning or video, however we have gathered more ideas about what subject we want our video to be about, which is humans and more specifically about what goes on in peoples heads and physical things about the body such as breathing, heartbeat, what someone hears ect...

Video Ideas

Before breaking up for Christmas Carol, Allyson and i had decided to work together on the video and we all went away to think of some ideas before we all come to together again after New Year to discuss making the video. These are some of my thoughts that i had written down.

• What you think when your alone, thoughts in the head
• The way your mind plays tricks in the dark
• Ways of expressing emotions
• Loneliness
• A day in the life of something and so that the camera is that thing
• Something scary
• When people go around saying something, but they're really saying something else. Someone would say something and what they were actual meaning would appear in text
• Reality/dream
• Hallucinations
• Deliriums
