Wood Workshop











Evaluation

I am pleased with the outcome of this project and feel the sound works well with the film. Creating the sock puppets was challenging as I had to keep ensuring I stitched the parts together in the correct place because they fell differently when wearing the sock on my hand.

The Unfixable Hole - Final Piece

Evaluation

I would have liked more time to be able to re-film this piece, with more control of how the people were moving, as they appeared more relaxed in their posture than what I would have wanted.


If I was to carry this project on, I would like to create a series of humorous videos of the same group of people shuffling in different places.

City Centre Shuffle - Final Piece

Group Crit

After producing the video I got feedback from my peers and tutor, I got a positive response as they thought the video was humorous and clearly showed the meaning of creating an unfixable hole. However as I produced this as a silent film they thought adding sound could make the work more successful. Due to the creepy feel the film has, an idea was put forward to use sound similar to those found in old silent movies.


I then went on to research old silent films (e.g. Charlie Chaplin) to find sound which could go with my film. I looked at old silent horror films as the sound would be more suited to my video.

Monster Sock

After creating a selection of monster sock puppets, the best was chosen to use in a puppet show video of the unfixable hole.
