Organizing ideas and searching for supplies

    As our project becomes more consolidated in terms of ideas, supplies and specific incentives and ideas for the project have more or less become stronger and more unified amongst the group. In order to receive further inspiration, advice, and overall technique/musical tips, I reached out to two separate accounts, Sematary (the musician previously mentioned) and 90s shoegaze band Astrobrite, who's blurred atmospheric image has been inspirational to the product we seek to create. Although both bands and artists did not further reach back out yet, their art, music, and videos have still been deeply inspirational to the process. 

    For the camera and filming process, ideas changed due to viewing the price limitations upon the cameras. Due to the cameras extremely expensive price for the specific camcorder we sought to purchase, the group has begun to explore alternatives such as using an older iphone with certain grain filtering in post production to create the intended effect.

    The older iphones more grained and less precise quality, as shown in the image above, could be a useful alternative to the expensive cameras that we sought to use, and would be a very efficient and free alternative depending on the groups resources. Further investigation regarding filming will be taken on throughout the week, and will be essential to the project creation.
