New Bluetooth

From this movie I made i could show that actually nothing much had changed. it was evident in the film that in the first 5 minutes of me sitting on the floor i had created a 'wall' around me, people were soon walking past me as if i wasnt even there. When i re-recorded bluetooth data it had pretty much stayed the same as i had originally recorded. however there is proof in the movie i made that some effect was made.

Alain's Idat : The Making

I used a Panasonic HD camera, the video quality, along with sound quality was amazing. however, saying this there were issues replicating this quality onto a computer. Taking the file off the camera as a .m2ts file was easy enough, but then I had to convert that into an .avi file by some means of wizardry. quicktime/media player couldn't find the codec for this so i then tried and converted it into a .mp4 format which media player was able to export it to the file extension of .mov. I believe that because i changed file formats several times i lost quality throughout. This was evident when i was produced the movie and also when broadcasting it on Youtube.
I used Adobe Premiere to construct the film. Although it is a very capable and very professional piece of software, I am not a very capable and very professional film producer so the end result was fairly 'novice'.

" I'll do it on the night "

the effect of the filming was not what i expected but was brilliant none the less. When I sat down people merely looked at me and kept a fair distance but after approx 5/10 mins people started walking past me as if I were barely there. This was quite interesting how the effects of me being there changed as time passed. After reviewing the film, and having bubbles blown at me by a small child, i also noticed people were a lot more aware of the camera then they were of me. the camera was maybe ten metres away from me but it was astonishing on how 'the general public' reacted in a totally different way then if, for example, the camera was not there. this was quite suprising.
I took roughly ten mins of film during the day and roughly 2mins of film in the evening and managed to merge the two together. this produced (even though very amateur) a relatively good result when plugged into a video.

Intro to Intervention

The aim of this section of the module is to 'intervene' with my chosen area. (hence the title). My chosen area (TV screen in town) had plenty of scope for me to add or change the environment in such a way that it would change the way the 'general public' would react or respond to that specific area.


My first idea was to walk around the open area in front of the TV with a camera in front of me filming the way I walked around. this would then be played on the TV or projected up on a wall. however, after deep deep thought, I changed my idea completely.


I came across my inspiration after walking down to the TV area and i thought i could get someone else to film me walking around 'getting in peoples way' or so to speak. this was then trumped when i thought I could make a really good scence without disturbing too many people. i choose for someone to film me walking up to the TV and then me sitting down in front of the TV for a number of minutes and see what the reaction was from the public.
