Discussion of Project: Time

"What are ten movies that used exceptional cinematography (visual tools) to tell the story?"

1. Jacobs Ladder
2. A Clockwork Orange
3. Saving Private Ryan
4. Lord of the Rings/Hobbit movies
5. A Bridge Too Far
6. Pulp Fiction/Kill Bill 1 and 2
7. War of the Worlds
8. Alien
9. Apocalypse Now
10. Fight Club/ American History X

This is not a list of my favorite movies, although many of them would make the list.  This list consist of movies that use time to tell or enhance the story.  An honorable mention would have to go to "The Godfather: Part II."

Three concepts for the project time:

1.  Use a still life to show transformation, by adding and changing the items in the still life.  My first thought would be a word as the primary visual tool and transform the word by building additional visual elements into the still life.

2.  A recording of a trip or movement from one place to another.  Interjected into the recorded trip are mini videos that represent thoughts or memories.

3.  Three distinctly different videos, overlapping in the same picture frame, running at different speeds/times.  For example, the first might show one minute of time in one minute, the second one day in a minute, the third a week in a minute.
