An attempt to close-up and capture "domestic images" of my everyday life. Also an experiment on the amount of music an image filled with information can stand. What I discovered through that first project is that though the shots are still and silent (muted their sound), closing up on things on such a level, leaves little room for musical or any kind of sound information. The lower the register and the more the notes (and/or instruments), the less attention I was able to pay to the image.
Near the end of this short film I'm using my one and only moving shot in which I move around some coins. This moving shot is interrupted by bits of all the previous shots so the contrast between them is even more accentuated. The reversed notes used in that part are played on the bits of the "calm" shots that are already introduced and not on the moving coin shot, as one would expect, so that any stressful feeling will not be generated from the money moving around but from the accentuated contrast between that and the "calm" shots.
As very well pointed out in class, I chose the piano because a solo instrument, particularly (as I, that I played in the recording, am a pianist) the piano, gives a more "personal" tone to the film, it points out the fact that "these are my things, my everyday images", underlines the idea of possession and emotional bonding.
In any case, what you get from watching it is more a matter of interpretation than of my actual intentions.
