Here is the Link to the Final version of my Wabi Sabi film.
The film, The Tree of Life was my main form of inspiration for this experiment. My goal was to create a film full of scenes of nature during evening time as an experiment for my project Wabi Sabi. The Photographer Rinko Kawauchi is another source of inspiration that I used for the film. Her style of Sublime photography really suited my theme and idea. To create the film I need to capture a lot of imagery of a few second shots of different things such as light, the sea and everyday events. An idea for the film is to use a subject, a model, as the focus of the film. The film would be about the different things that occur throughout the evening through nature. The title, Before the Sun goes works really well with the idea for the film because I am capturing the beauty and specific details that happen in the evening, before the sun sets. I decided to use a subject within the film because it made it more interesting and showed more of a story line by using the subject to symbolize the sun disappearing. In the last part of the film, the subject is seen running away towards the sea. My reason for this was to create a visual and symbolic link between the subject and the sun. As the sun was setting, the subject was also running away. Overall, I am very happy with the outcome of my film, Before the Sun goes, because it ties in well with my overall project and shows a thought process and story line behind my theme.
