So we were tasked with creating a short 2-3 minute sequence, which explored one of the following themes: Fear, Hope, Despair and Joy, shooting original footage which had been inspired by the camera movement and experimental workshops.
I chose Hope, I didn't really have a great concept for it but I went with the initial idea and tried to be as abstract as possible. One of the main reasons was due to everyone deciding to pick the theme Fear, which I felt was possibly the easy option, thus resulting in me choosing something against the grain.

I'm not sure if what I was going for was captured, but in essence I still think it works as the music with some of the imagery compliments one another. The main concept I was trying to portray was an initial anxiety that Oliver had of the chairs, the chairs were representative of any initial obstacle/negative situation. But through self belief and hope in himself, Oliver was able to overcome the initial doubts that had plagued him. Thus the shots with the lights, signifying the battle and the self belief prevailing, then eventually the shots back to reality (Back in normal lecture room light) with close ups of him smiling.
It was an intriguing workshop that I took a great deal away from, making me think more about what the movements could actually represent and be depicting.
