For me when I think of this question it throws me into a a deep thought of all movies where you are watching a scene and the voice you were expecting to come out of the character, that being human verbals is in fact completely unexpected making it such an intriguing and unique moment. A great example of this idea of the unexpectedness of a human voice in a film or television series is from the “Coopers dream” from the twin peaks.

In the opening scene of the film we see a man and a woman sitting in a setting of a tv set or casting coach. The man is sitting there very still and proper in his suit directly opposite to the woman who is too dressed in a formal suit shirt and dress to depict this idea of formality i.e. a tv set. Unexpectedly a midget man comes in on a pole of sorts, expecting a small male voice to come out of his mouth instead we are taken back by a man that in fact talks in reverse, accompanied by subtitles. This moment of unexpectedness too happens again when the men asks the woman if she is Laura Palmer which she too replies in reverse after being told she was infact cousins with the midget.

The scene then finishes with the midget walking off to a song being played in the background as the woman who is suspected to be Laura Palmer gets up kisses the man and then whispers in his ear as the scene comes to a close. This scene of the film is an extremely unique form of acting and makes the viewer confused as to what is actually happening due to the unexpectedness of the style of verbalisation.

Lumiere Film is the idea of roughly 1 minute videos shot using a stationary camera on a tripod. I chose to represent home and where I am from. As I have moved away from my home town I decided that I would create shots of these memories of home. InitialI had a trial an error as there was so much I wanted to include in the film to represent home but when I really thought about it I realised that Bowral is a cold place and about family and my pets, for me so I wanted to grasp this idea. I used Premier Pro to edit the video, Nikon D5200 Camera to film on with a Feiyutech tripod. In all thsi is my final product of my Lumiere Film of home.

The first image depicts a black and white plain photo of a shop with no effects used on it

Image 3:

Second photo uses a lot of colour saturation. The focus of the shot is the trolley which is on an island isolated to the black road.

Image 4:

This shot is split into a rule of thirds where the landscape is split up. The soil, grass and then rocks. There is people split in each section where the man on the rocks is isolated.

Image 5:

The foreground is the ocean with the mountain in the background. It creates an isolation and cold feeling. The shapes of the mountain resemble to ocean waves too.

Image 6:

This image looks vintage. The contrast of the walls being stripie to the bleak brown carpet and leather chairs. There are lots of shapes and patterns in the image.

Image 7: Alan Sekula, Panorama. Mid-Atlantic, November 1993, from Fish Story 1989–95.

This image shows connection between containerised cargo movement. Its a depcition of the geographic state of these cargo ships. Shot in 1995 on the 21st of January. This image looks abstract and cold. The horizon line on the image breaks up the image into sections. The colour on the image is quite desaturated in colour giving it a gloomy look.

The last image shows old to modern look. The background is brighter and the city scape is bright where as the foreground and mid ground is darker colours giving it a mood.
