Watch films and describe direct link to own work

These are 5 short animations i have watched on youtube all with similar aspects I can take into consideration when making my own work.

  • All of these directly relate to what I want to do because they are all fairly artistic pieces of work and they are all done to music.
  • Most of these have no story line at all with the exception of the line and dot which is one I thought about maybe adding a story line. But after watching a few more videos with no story line I realised if I left it to the viewer’s imagination to think what could actually be going on here?
  • The work I am going to be doing is unlike any of these and I was unable to find anything like what I wanted to do on youtube anywhere.
  • My final idea is to create a video which is just filming a vinyl player from above. The player will have a white disk on and this will spin. I will then gradually add inks and other objects and watch them move through the centrifugal force of the player. The music I have made is at the speed of 170bpm which is almost 3 bps and in each and every one of these beats I will chop and change between different shots of the ink covered paper disks.

This sounds like a definitive idea and may well be very close to your final piece. As part of your coursework you must do an experiment. Consider what would be a useful experiment for this project.
