As I stated in my last post, my work has elements of documentary. Capturing moments which happen in real life is something that really interests me, capturing real emotions on camera. I want to capture the truth, how things really are. This has been exactly what I have done in my collaboration project with the Boxing Club, nothing was acted out, nothing was planned, I just got my camera out and took pictures or videos of what was happening. However some of my previous work where I have put my go pro on my head and then took a video of me punching the bag, or for example when I asked some one to video me whilst I was skipping is not really documentary, as it is staged, it was planned because I was mainly interested in movement.
I have used some of the footage that I took as part of my collaboration project and used it in my own work. for example my video piece 'The Come Down of Loosing' which is a slowed down clip of Milo Clay in the changing rooms upset after loosing his championship fight. This is definitely the direction I am now going to be going in, when I have finished my collaboration project I think I will stay with the idea of documentary. I love this idea of capturing emotions, real emotions, and then showing the emotions to an audience.
