Inbindable Volume- Film Analysis

Here the two side panels are slowly tracking sideways, while the middle frame is panning down, this gives an almost embossed feel to the middle frame as if it's sticking out by contrast.

What both me and Elliot found most interesting about Inbindable Volume was purely the visual side and the use of three split screens and the way they interact with one another in the film. Generally throughout the runtime the two on the outside act as opposites while the middle frame does something contrasting to stand out. The caption to the above photo explains the movement in that example.

Here the different screens show us the same object in varying levels of detail and from different distances, so we can appreciate it as a part of the room, the shape of it and in terms of pattern. 

This use of three split screens is something I hadn't really seen previously, two is fairly common, but by adding three it gives a whole new feeling of visual of visual disorientation. As a result you view the film completely differently. They also gives the film a much more kinetic feel as there is so much moving on screen and your eyes are constantly moving to keep up with the subtle changes to each frame. Giving energy and a feel of movement to something that is showing still objects and locations is a clever ability and something I think we definitely need to replicate in our final film.

Here the middle screen fractures the two sides that look like they could almost join up if the middle wasn't there. 

The film actually mirrors our idea in a few ways, firstly that it is showing the location while it is blank and empty, and in places it looks almost derelict. Also as it reaches its finale it switches into a really atmospheric soundtrack and ends with a big musical crescendo, getting a real sense of grandeur across from it, as does our musical piece, we aimed to finish it with a big finale of over loud audio to really knock people off balance and make them feel uncomfortable. However in this film I feel like it comes a bit out of nowhere and doesn't really work as the rest of the film is so quiet and bland with the only sound really coming from the voice over. The sudden soundtrack didn't fit so much when we watched it as a seminar group we all laughed slightly at how out of the blue it was, an effect we don't want in our film and don't think was intentional here.

The shots all have a very slow moving camera them, similar to Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow, this as I said in my analysis for that is something we're going for in our film as it is smooth and subtle but gives us an eerie enough feel to give a strange feeling to the location while letting people see it all in good detail.

Here the three different screens are showing the same object but from all different sections, visually making it look disjointed and quite interesting.
