MA Show UCA Canterbury
30th August to 3rd September 2013
10am to 4pm
The MA in fine art at UCA Canterbury culminates in a showcase of work, which also includes fashion and photography MA students.
After submission of the critical evaluation paper, the installation part of the final project commenced. For those with installations it required lengthy preparation. Fortunately film after the lengthy process of editing, required transfer onto DVD and then a few practice runs in the theatre.
My film titled, 'Fugitive Reflections' is the outcome of sourced film footage of Dreamland, Margate. The archiving of film and its selection has enabled me to produce and edit a film that I hope will not only reflect the existence of the site, whilst enabling the viewer to recall memory of a similar place or time. The title of the film reflects my aim to explore the boundaries of traditional film, that mostly contain a linear narrative or story. The editing process creates both pauses and tension, with the intention that the repetition not only creates new meanings but allows for scrutiny of the image and perhaps the trigger for recall. Alongside the visual image it was vital that the soundtrack incorporated the same theme. Through use of original soundtrack taken from the films and their repetition caused by editing, I worked in collaboration with Ollie Girvan BA(Hons) Commercial Music student at the University of Westminster aka DJ Bill Motion, his expertise and creativity pushed the possibilities of the sound editing process, creating a soundtrack that not only adds to the visual experience of the film, whilst also creating echoes of time.
The film is available to view during the MA show in the Cragg Lecture Theatre.
