Fiction Adaptation - Haiku Challenge


In our lecture with Mike, we were briefed on our new project, Fiction Adaptation. With this brief we were given a nice introductory task that would give us some insight into the kind of skills and logic behind the films that we would eventually be creating for this unit.

So we had to create a short 30 second clip from a select list of poems, I chose - Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902) - 

My life, - How much more of it remains? The night is brief.



I felt with this, I wanted to go down the route of pollution, life on this planet and the fragility of it. The way in which i tried to portray that was simple, trying to gather clips of factories/industrial landscapes and smoke to capture that sense of pollution/emission into the atmosphere. 
I didn't quite get the footage that was desired, however I still felt it possessed stylistically the themes that were intended to be depicted.
