Hamlet - Claudius and Green screen

Experimenting with the Camera...

I haven't use a HD camera in a good three years, I know there are a few problems in the video such as hands and feet not being in the camera. So note to self... place camera further back to account for that, as well as the placement of the wooden blocks, which should not be visible in the shot as they were only being used to note where to stop walking and to stay in the scene. 



As a group we had originally thought about using this video on a loop. To continue round as fluidly as possible. However, after viewing the footage, we thought of splitting the emotions up and placing them into different containers such as Animalia Chordata's work with projections and glass jars...


We believe that isolating each different emotion would make the feeling of our installation stronger. The emotions and actions in the green screen video above portray the feelings that Claudius would/ should have been going through for the murder of his brother, and later the desire to kill Hamlet to keep his secret.
