Din Din's - Final Film for Moving Image
The final outcome of my final film turned out to be an abstract film of the markets going home to cook a boil up and then the warm fuzzies I get when Iv'e fed my family (kids). I had the idea to do an abstract film from the start and to tell the story or a routine we go through. I decided to go with the idea of when we go to the markets our usual ritual is to go there have a look around at the stores and to enjoy the kai (food). We go to the markets to grab us a pork bones and sausages from the butcher, potatoes and greens from the vegetables and fruit area and definitely grab us some raro donuts (a must in the household).
The markets is a place to enjoy the company, food, entertainment, and to do some healing with the retail therapy. My kids are the main inspiration for this piece and the incorporation of them is to show that they are the most important things to me in this life and I will try my utmost but to cater to their needs especially their stomach.
Din Din's is the title of the film as this is what we call dinner time either kakai's or Din din's (dinner).
The music chosen were two separate music tracks one being a Polynesian drumming track to represent the Polynesian invasion and the colours and beat of the music. In editing I tried my best to try and sync the beats and images together at the same time to create harmony and the flow arrangement. With every strong beat there was either a interchange between images or play with effects to create either rapid movement or easy play in between interludes. The second track was from Whirimako Black and is actually based on food so that it all links back to the theme and mood I was trying to create.
Camera shots were difficult at times, trying to film in rain and control some sound recording if any good recording the time. I very much enjoyed even though it was time consuming the editing process in Premiere.
