This work is based on of two ideas, both linked to a cinematic theme; the first one is cinematic food. The two images are a fridge based on 'Bridget Jones' fridge in the film, where there is hardly any food. I wanted a slightly cold and spooky look to this image. The second image of the cinematic food images is based on an idea from the film 'Apocalypse Now'. The wooden bowl of rice is symbolic of the interior scenes where Marlon Brando as Colonel Kurtz is hiding up. The colours and darkness in the image are giving a mysterious mood to this idea. The two other images are stills from an moving image piece of work which is in black and white. The short film is about a woman who witnesses a killing in some flats. The piece reflects the style of an art house/ Film Noir film, using shadows and nightlight. The use of no dialogue and just sound effects and a music score drive the moving image and lets the viewer decide what is going on.
