Our initial fascinations have been with the vast number of different, and largely unnoticed reflections present in a city. I think a reflection can be very symbolic and produce some good and really simple footage where effects can be created through the contrast between the real world and the reflected image, I also like text that is shown mirror image that can turn any image from plausible 'real' life to a 'reflection'.
This experiment was quite fruitful, it really helped us to consider the city in a new light and made us think more in depth about what footage could include for our experimental film. It did however make us realise that at this point the concepts for our apparatus are somewhat lagging in comparisson to the actual subject matter of the film. We all really appreciated the different types of reflections we found but at the same time we felt that the footage should largely be reflected/ distorted by the actual camera rig we are to construct rather than elements of city scenery.
Nevertheless I think we all have the feeling that we are getting close to deciding on a direction to take this assignment and that is exciting.
