This is the first in a series of videos made at the start of the research period. The idea began with me photographing my journey from college to home - a fairly short journey and therefore one that would create a fairly simple narrative. To limit the number of images I took, I decided to stop and photograph the scene in front of me at every sharp turn along the way, which left me with 12 still images.
Having put these into a sequential narrative on paper, I wanted to experiment with sound as well as a 'moving' image. Music is an important part of my walk to and from college and can improve my mood and shape the journey. Sometimes I leave with just enough time to get there, but would feel rushed and so I chose a fast paced piece of music (of my own creation) to accompany this first test, which I will refer to as the 'fast' version.
Matching the pace of the images to the music resulted in a very short video. It was not meant to match the reality of the journey in any way, but at the same time, the images pass by too fast, as would any surroundings when a hurried journey is being made.
