What about the travel film from Bibi and Bobo - shot in 1952 - was accompanied by a voiceover describing in exact detail the goings on of the movie - or directing the movie. Then in a second uncreative writing experiment a screenplay accompanies the film of Talia's wedding. What would the text be adding? What is omitted in the process of screenplay becoming film? The frame holds all that information we take for granted. The video could have a side panel detailing exactly what is happening on screen. I see it as green text on a black backdrop. It rolls in time with the action. This is all to make clear that the documentary is at every point an exercise in framing and directing. Nothing can be taken for granted.

I'm back home now after the christmas family trip. It was an intense ride. I welled up while scanning through the family archives. I photographed pictures of the pictures for fear of losing the special ones in the heaps of celluloid negatives and large glossy prints from the 90s.

There's also an interest in transcripting the interviews i made with mum, bellz, sapir, and dad. these could interact with the thesis. i want the thesis to be an interactive document - not just text running from a > z. The chapter i just read in Kenneth Goldsmith's Uncreative Writing is especially helpful in engaging with different modes of address, contrasting writing conventions such as transcritpion, subtitling, screenwriting, prose, essay.

I want to get the zoom 8Qn but I'm afraid of the poor image quality. Yet the superior sound quality will surely pay off. & the freedom it will give this project is undeniable. Freedom v image quality. Freedom v 'cinematic'look.
