The first unit 15 brief is asking us to make a short film (between 1-2mins) of an existing piece of architecture. Also there shall be presented with 2 drawings, which should be done before the film start and the final image(s) after the whole filming process finishing.
TARGET of this project, essentially, is about the value system that a film maker wants to present through the space. To me, the first idea which immediately jumps out of my mind is that treating the INVISIBLE MATTER as materiality, to revision a building which I've already been to before. Furthermore, the filmic montage between this revisied journey and some memories I had before from this place could be used as the Major editing technique, to emphasize the contributed value of invisible material for an existing architectural space.
FILMING SITE is Royal Observatory Greenwich.
Royal Observatory is worldwide known as one of the most important scientific treasures in the world. It is the formal starting of the world time.Geographically working as the accurate location where 0 longitude pass through, the observatory is the division of eastern and western world.
The Projective Unbuilt
Architecturally, buildings of Observatory were totally built for maximally expanding its functional using purposes.As the central part, dome is where the telescope been housed. For each individual visitor inside the dome, everyone had different impression as the observation of the sky, the mapping nodes, the personal experience etc. all offer the materiality properties for the 'projective spatial quality' of the dome. Therefore, architecture is always in the process of changing because the variety notion of observers.
Montage Between Memory and Reality
Memory offers extra values for this spatial revision.Personally, the observatory is a container of a long-term memory pieces. Here, the proportion of solid architecture elements transfers into filmic frames.I see the gap between columns as different stop frames when I pass through the corridor again...Black and white gives the colour of uncertainty, Even though the sequence of reality is still keeping the livable colours.
The First Drawing
A Screen Shot From Film
Of course, a big step forward this time, technically, is learning premier and making the first animation in my life.
