Rosie becomes an animal

Task : To Become an Animal

For this brief I wanted to do something that related to me, autobiographical almost.  So I thought about what my behaviour was like and tried to relate it to an animals. I thought a lot of how I am a hoarder. I collect so much stuff and surround myself by it.I am an extreme lover of clutter. This lead me to my research on magpies.  Magpies are scavengers often collecting bright shiny objects and using them within the domed nests that they build.

I decided to film myself building myself a nest on my balcony using all the stuff I seem to hoard in my room. The film was too long so I sped it up to about a minute and a half.  I felt the original slower version worked better but the brief was to make a short film.

The film ended up looking like CCTV footage. I liked the idea that I was secretly being watched making my nest. Like a nature programme or something....
