Well, silent narrative.

It would be great to hear your understandings of this piece as i have spoken to people with many different perceptions when it was shown in a local gallery as a video installation.

Not going to lie...

I couldn't make out anything for the firs minute, then I saw a face, and it was hard to make out most of the rest of the film.

The audio was terrible and maybe there wasnt suppose to be anything, but I had to turn off my speakers.

As an experimental piece, it did not convey any thought or statement to me.

Sorry.
 
my intention was for it not to be clear,
the sound isn't meant to compliment to the piece

I dont like to give much away but i was following the aesthetics of an ultrasound scan

more of a video installation than a film
 
Well I wouldn't label that as 'Narrative' that's for sure. :) Quite a stretch there.

I think you could play around with this idea, but as it sits, it's just not very interesting. And the sound was annoying.

You may be able to play this as a visual plate on a screen for an event...it has some interesting visuals, and I think the ultrasound idea came through in certain respects.

Nice go at it...keep it up.
