For this piece I chose several areas of my house. I wanted the areas to be either bluntly obvious or obscured. When collecting footage, I found myself enjoying the different objects around the house. The goal was to make an abstract work, but i thought to myself, "I want my narrative!" After hours of thinking and deciding with which way to go with this project, I finally decided to add a somewhat thrilling, narrative intertwined to the other ingredient, an odd abstract. I wanted to develop scenes of oblong light and shapes but also wanted to distract the viewer with a short story. In a sense I am pulling the viewer in and out again with each sequence change. I myself found it interesting to assemble such a maneuver. Over all I feel my piece is less complicated than my previous work, but still sets it apart from the other in a positive way. The concrete story allows less confusion and lets the viewer enjoy the piece without solving a puzzle. The hardest part aside from technical issues that spanned over 8 hours, was composing the simplest tune I could muster, in order to match the ordeal in the video.

I think by shifting the sequence of events, you have abstracted this narrative quite nicely. Nice work!
