For my self directed I chose to focus on video, the subject matter was a National Trust house based in Worcestershire, the time that I filmed was 9-11am so the light was prominent which was important to me as it shows the house in a better way.
The video was also filmed at that time because it was closed to the public, this was also important as it meant that there was no one walking in the way of the objects of the house so I was able to film it as it was. I also recorded natural sounds of the house to add to the video and create the atmosphere of the house so it is like you are there.
My aim was to explore the details of the architecture and interior to show what you might miss as you walk around. Also to show the way that the people that had once lived their might have viewed their house and what it was like to live there. I hope that it creates a story for the audience and makes them wonder what type of people would live in the house and from seeing the sort of personal items they left behind, how that would determine what type of person they were.
Artists I have looked at have been Zarina Bhimji for her use of light, texture and atmosphere, I have also looked at Annie Leibovitz 'Pilgrimage' for influence on film stills ,Sam Taylor-Wood and Paul Winstanley who focuses on interiors such as waiting rooms that have an eerie atmosphere to them he explores this through use of paint.
