While studying film as part of my Art Major, I was given the task this past semester to construct a long take film using techniques we reviewed in class. This film took about 15 minutes to set up and film. The principles I kept in mind were the sound, performance, and camera handling. Tethering the camera to the top of my bike, I rode across the campus , retooling how a trek across campus could seem like when in a rush, mixing straight shots with chaotic slips and turns to contrast the smooth, canted shot by the end of the ride. I chose to fuse the diegetic sound of passerbys with the non-diegetic soundtrack in order to create the illusion one sometimes gets of being unfocused as they rush towards their destination.
