Working alone, you should choose one of Michael David Murphy’s “Unphotographable” posts and create a multimedia narrative. You should use your own images, new or from your archive and you should create an accompanying soundscape.
For this task we had to chose one of Michael David Murphy’s “Unphotographable” posts and create a multimedia narrative. We had to use our own images, and create an accompanying sound. As I was late at starting this task the web link with Michael’s texts went offline so I could no longer view them. I looked to the facebook page and other what other people had chosen on vimeo. I chose 3 texts to possibly use to create the multimedia narrative. The first
“This is a picture I did not take of a woman in a green sweatshirt exiting a public bathroom, eating a hotdog”,
second
“This is a picture I did not take of a cardboard box sitting on the sidewalk in front of the post office, like a package that someone was so exited to receive they wouldn’t wait to open it, and they walked out of the post office and peeled back the lid to find it was filled with nothing but brown leaves, and in sadness or bewilderment, just left in there on the sidewalk, abandoned.”
and third
“This is an image I did not take, of a cold autumnal journey home, losing myself within my seemingly well known surroundings, dawdling regrettably home, and then running to catch the last bus home.”
My first attempt at the second piece of text did not go as I had hoped and so I decided to attempt the third piece of text. This however, I later realised was not in fact a text of Murphy’s but of a fellow classmate Dorrell Merritt. However the multimedia narrative I created with Dorrell’s text was far better than the one I attempted first. So credit to Dorrell for his “Unphotographable” text.
