Fictional Adaptation - Experimental Workshop

We were given free reign today to experiment with footage, I wanted to test out the way we see time with film, there are many examples of Time-lapses and slow motion in film so I decided this is what I would focus on.

To start with I practised with using time lapses, i wanted to practice a method which would be suited to telling a story, I had an idea to do with the poem "do not stand above my grave and weep" If the character is standing in one spot and the shutter speed is low on the camera the movement will be blurred, however the character will be in focus, this accentuates the time passing, I thought this would work well with a character standing above a grave, this way the character who is in morning is being shown standing in one spot whilst the world is moving around and changing behind him.

I also wanted to try out the slow motion capabilities of the panasonic cameras, as they can go at 120 frames a second at 1920X1080 frames.
A shot I was picturing in my mind for the "If We Must Die" Poem was a shot of a character making a noble sacrifice and being shot multiple times, I tried it out and was quite pleased with the results.
