Project 1_ Screen Shots_Jordan Allen

 

I filmed with my iPhone sitting horizontal on my shelf above my desk. I wanted to make sure you couldn't see my face and that you were primarily focusing on the computer and my hand motions. Facial expressions were not needed for this video so I tried focus more on body language. 

When adding the audio I searched on youtube for some creepy voices talking. I found a few but had to do some editing and give it a better echo effect to achieve the goal I was going for. There was a part of the audio I had to cut because it wasn't appropriate for the video and I combined the two clips together so there wasn't a gap. 

Finally, I wanted to add some visual effects to video as well. I didn't want to add anything too extreme to overwhelm the viewers so whenever the voices would start to talk I would add a blur effect to the video and slowly let it fade away. The longer the voices would talk the longer I would let the gaussian blur stay on the screen

The point of this video was to show the signs of schizophrenia. I personally do not have this disorder but I did some research on it and tried to get a better understanding of the struggles that people with schizophrenia go through. This may not be the most accurate representation but I tried my best. With my videos, I like to tell stories. I try not to make them too straight forward or to obvious as to what is going on and I want the viewer to have some interpretation to add some mystery and artistic attributes as well.
