As of now, I have no working title for my film. In today's society we often take for granted what our senses are perceiving. We are so used to actions and sound going hand in hand, i.e lighting followed by thunder or a movie. I think this is the reason why we are sometimes feel so uneasy while watching a silent film. In my movie I will explore synesthesia and its relation to cinema. It is interesting to note that both the word and cinema came about in the same year! And if we think about it isn't a movie or any visual sensation accompanied by sound a form of synesthesia? Well.... we'll have to find out later.
For the most part I will be using Richter's Rhythm 21 and shifting into various scenes some complemented by sound some without. After that I will play sounds with no visual aid. My goal is to shed light into this misconception that we, for the most part, have picked up. Music videos and video games have pretty much hard-wired our brain to perceive and action as solely one thing when in reality it can be two or three different senses working hand in hand.
