Treatment
The begins, with an 2 min experimented film in,with a audio of my mum and dad ad myself speaking in swahili, this audio is a conversation that I have with mother and father when I was a little girls just after when I came to england for the first time, the conversation is of trying remembering my relatives from Tanzania and places that I used to go when I was little this tape was recorded when I recently cames to the UK, The film is a collections of uses photography, the found imagery consist of landscapes and family photos of my relatives the photos is then shown in an TV glitch effect throughout the film to repented as memory loss that I have tried to remember when I was little and the struggle to speak swahili.
The second film will be a story of a folktale called 'Youngest daughter'. This is about a young daughter who neglect her family to go into the safari without her mother permission to escape from her family, she came through some dangerous along the way, she soon decide to leave a go home. This is a moral story of life lesson old parent give to young children, and the importance of family Although this can be seen on a completely metaphoric level as the main character‟s reintegration into the life of the family, or reconciliation with her past, it can also be interpreted literally as stressing the importance of healthy parent child relationships regardless of past disputes, and unconditional respect for elders. The visual effect of the film, would be deliberate this will represent found imagery of my family and the importance of family. this will be shown a photo montage of family pictures showing a glitching effect like the previous film.
The third film will be consistent with a poem that i wrote, the poem will be talking about the the idea of being disconnected with culture,, this will be finalised of the things, this will be shows like a photo montage,, showing found imagery and old video tape of my little self, you will then see collection of photos with glitching effect in most of the scene.
Research I made a bibliography of all the things that I did for my individual project, i think I have done some research and most of them are relevant, however I think I should research more on my visual ascpt. Here is the link
