Movement with a Monopod

For these films I wanted to try some interesting movement. I have a nice garden so I thought I'd film there. I attached the camera to a monopod and swung it around in different ways to create varied kinds of movements and designs. Because the sky is almost white the film didn't work as well because it bleached out the films. I like the idea for the movement and the way that everything blurs together sometimes but it doesn't look very nice or interesting. I think if I try these again at night at uni or near the river where the lighting is quit colourful and the sky is very dark it would look much more effective.







I also held the camera upside down on the bottom of the monopod to get a low-down upside-down view of me walking around. I quite like this one because it works with the surroundings and the noise is really nice and evocative.



After trying these I feel a bit rubbish at this, when I look at other people's films during class they look a lot more interesting, but I can't seem to wrap my brain around how to make a really interesting film with a new idea. I'm finding this class really challenging.
