A minute of your time?
“Sounds of body”
one minute movie by Alena Zaynullina
Every day we walk, clapping our hands, speak… The simple movements of our body are a great source for imagination. They are quiet strong visually and the sounds they can produce are really unique. The great melody could be created by just using them.
My point was to show the variety of body possibilities by recording them for one minute. I used three main body parts: hands, legs, and the face.
I decided to make this film black and white to make it looks like n old movie, like the one with Charlie Chaplain. For lighting effects I used three small flash lights, which used to look like 3 spots in the darkness.
The music theme from the movie “Kill Bill” was chosen spontaneously, because that was an easy one to produce by whistling and it’s a repeating one.
This was a group project, but unfortunately I missed it. But still I was trying to work in a group, which consisted some of my friends. I asked as much people as I can, but that still wasn’t enough. One person was turning on the camera and then walking away on hills making the noise in the beginning. One was making lights to the legs. The person with the hat was turning the light by her own, but she couldn’t whistle. So while she was imitating it, the person on her left hand side was doing it for her. That was the “hands” person (turning lights by her own). I was the “legs” person and at the same time I was directing the whole process and the lighting timings.
Thanks to every one! That all works great together!)
