Cineroman: Departed Soul
After searching William Gibson’s twitter I found the tweet which said “His soul is far away. It is painful perhaps to be awakened from a vision as to be born, Any object,”, it is a quote from James Joyce’s novel Ulysses. It states, “His soul is far away. It is as painful perhaps to be awakened from a vision as to be born. Any object,” Using this tweet as a launch pad for the assignment, my original thoughts after reading the tweet were of daydreaming and wanderlust. I had originally planned to create a dreamlike sequence of images from travel to create a journey of wanderlust. This plan however became to slideshow like and there was no way to make it seem less like a slideshow. After watching other people’s cine-romans in the workshop I was inspired to create a new concept. Taking inspiration from the cine-roman titled “Deadline”, I decided to create a video of me trying to create this video. When creating this video I was challenged by Abode Premiere Pro and as I viewed the images I planned on putting in the video I got side tracked by reminiscing about these memories. There was not one single sound piece that fit my cine-roman so I combined sections of several sound pieces in order to convey the creator going between trying to create a video in a limited time to daydreaming/ reminiscing about the memories of each photograph.
