Reflection of my final major project

I've separately recorded my video of both my niece and my sister, it went well and i learnt the benefit of recording constantly. I ended up with a lot of footage that was useful even though ended recording early. the main issues was finding the right sound for editing. i had two poems that didn't work with the footage, so i try them backwards to give a sinister vibe. the song played backwards sounded more cheerful D:.

This shot is a icontic shot within the video and has been repeated through the video. this is also related to horror film editing and film there movie. 

I tried different music and sounds to create a disturbing effect, like someones fears hunting them, i think i got closest with a bee noise but it needed distortion. i am seeing that you can build up tension  using sound in an art installation but it is harder to get through to people that it is in an enclosed environment, like a cinema. i wanted to use the sound from the environment around us to create a more realistic sound that can then be edited to make it more disturbing. i might record the the location that the piece will be installed in and edit the sound from that area.

I will show you some of my works in process:

1) Life beyond Childhood- eye's of fire

2) Life beyond Childhood- bee noise

3) Life beyond Childhood- My song that i made on garage band played backwards

4) Life time- game over

This is a second piece that is repeating life and re-doing whats already happened.

These are my idea of the installation for this piece, as i want to build a tree house like installation but child size.

This is the size and how it might look when its done.
