My entry for the elements vidding contest
Explination:
I read some stuff about the element earth and in one of the articles i read, there was something about darkness. For that reason, i decided to use almostfor 90 procent black and white footage. This specific colouring has a symbolic value next to the reference i found about the earth and darkness.
When I think about earth, i think about the ground, dust, mud... I decided to use footage with this variations of 'earth' to mix it up to this vid. The earth is also the place where we bury our dead and wherout everything grows: the circle of life.
In this vid: the darkness takes the upperhand. Everything refering to the earth is dark. The colour is dead but tries to relive, which can be seen in the vid sometimes when it goes from black and white to coloured footage, but when it happens, it almost as soon as it comes dies again. At the, the colouring is reborn: what was once dead and buried in the ground ( the colour) relives and is reborn again out of the earth.
