(EDIT: Will try and upload higher quality video later)
The class was right, it's impossible to make a serious movie involving a light saber. Thinking this, filming couldn't even begin because there was laughter about it. The Search illustrates man's falsified illusion of his power over nature. In the video, Chris is in search of insects to collect and take back to society, simply because he has the power to do so. He succeeds in catching them, but the insect escapes just as easily. This represents how easy it is for nature to break out of our grasp. Chris, believing so confidently in his ability to catch and keep the insect, also created an advantage and opportunity for the insect to escape.
The hardest part in filming this was actually trying to capture an insect. We thought it would be easy to catch them with our bare hands, we thought we were smarter. This worked maybe half the time. The lighting iris setting had to be adjusted too. The shot went from morning till afternoon. Also, location was important. We had to go deeper into the field to get rid of the vehicles in the background. This posed a problem when shooting because the further in we went in, the deeper the ground got. I sort of had to prop the tripod up on my feet. Because actually catching insects turned out to be difficult Chris started to bring his frustrations onto the camera. This turned out interesting, because my original idea was centered around a struggle. If I could do anything different it would be to wear some pants, and anticipate a sudden change in the terrain and actions being done there.
