Project #1 - Sense of Place - 1.26.2011

Major suggestions by other students were:
More activities, more time reversals.
Expand it.
Sink removal. Shorten the ending.
A payoff. A destination.

I agree/disagree with the critiques in the following areas:
I don't need a payoff. I want to make the visuals interesting. Though, I do care about narratives, lots of narratives do not have an "absolute" resolution: Sofia Coppola, Wong Kar Wai.... I like the meditativeness that prolongs the interests in viewing the film.

After studying the critiques I learned the following:
Whether or not everyone got the message, I think I am successful in that many caught on to the meditativeness, playing the viewers in the reversal editing without it being TOO gimicky, though, it all seems to agree on the tensions everyone picked up because of the reversals. They were, mostly, subtle, and intriguing to watch.
