This film shows how we unconsciously find ourselves in various spaces or situations and exposed to different information; we are not in control of that journey, in the same way that we are not really in control of our journey in life. This films attempts to depict an exaggeration of all the signs and symbols around us that we never notice, but eventually become part of us.

HOW CAN ONE EXPERIENCE
This film is a first person view of a on observation of a series of spaces. I chose to show a route from oxford circus to the British museum. The narrative of the film attempts to show that we are all conditioned is certain ways without realising it. By closely observing ourselves and our surroundings we can start being aware of it.

THE PLAY
This film explores the idea of how life is a form of play. It portrays the busy life of London and how people are rushing to get to work on a daily basis. In contrast to that, the protagonist takes a more enjoyable route to get to his place of work, riding his bicycle and passing through canals, parks and having breaks on the way. Though this was only a 30 second film, it attempts to emphasise our approach and attitude on the things we do rather than the thing itself. "It is about the journey, not the destination".
