This was our second experimental video shoot in the TV studio. Prior to shooting this work we looked at the work of Maya Deren. We looked at one of her pieces called ''Meditation on violence.''
In this shoot we tried to create a modest 21st century version of this. In Maya Deren' work she uses two different locations to shoot on (visually) a room with a backdrop of curtains and another which is located outside somewhere. We weren't going to re-enact the outside location due to only being able to accommodate indoor facilities. (outside, the facilities and the end produce quality would not have matched the studio quality)
A catering teacher is part of a karate organisation and got a few friends to come in and do some routines. Each routine was filmed through three different cameras that were situated in each corner of the studio (not next to the door for safety reasons.)
We planned to get shots that would upfront, slow/fast and showed true emotions whilst they were performing to create a video sequence of meditation on violence.
