'DECASIA' by Bill Morrison is a film created by found film footage, it has eroded and began to decay over time on top of this is the eerie soundtrack which in itself lends it self to the notion of destruction, the sound becomes almost unbearable as the flow of images continue to appear front of our eyes. There is also the appearance that Morrison has managed to save these images from further destruction through technological advancements and the invention of DVD, although not the original image a copy of the image has been saved/stored, this girl will 'live forever on film'.

PH LEVELS IN SOIL (1 week project)
The PH Levels in the soil where i buried the film would have affect colours,etc as seen on the chart.

1 week project continued...
one idea to display this work was to make a light box and have the negatives in a black frame setting, also have a few of the prints A3 size? on the wall next to the light box, time restrictions might make this difficult as its only 1 week project
Negatives
These negatives are reminisent of medical biopsies, the look like microscopic organisms or blood cultures./
The negatives were left for one day, then the film was washed with water to remove grit and dirt,etc (ensuring still no light was affecting the film) then the film was developed through the usual c41 processor.

Billy Childish: Pinhole Photography
Portrait of Billy Childish:
There is something almost ethereal about the photograph and pinhole photography.

Other Ideas for 1 week project
- continue with looking into the surface of the film and negative
UCA YEAR 3
First week back at university (3rd Yr) and thinking of ideas for one week project, moving away from the research/sketchbook. I had the idea of burying unexposed film in the garden, trying to make sure the film wasn't exposed to light (ISO 200) so it isn't too light sensitive. Although this idea runs the risk of fogging the film, I'm more interested into how the earth would affect the film once it goes through the developing process; obviously I can't put the dirty negative through the developing machine without causing problems so I'm contemplating developing through the B+W process instead of c41 colour processing. This is experimental...the film was buried in a black bin liner at 21:40pm on Monday and dug up at 21:40pm the following day on Tuesday as to giving this idea some form of structure.
-Stan Brakhage (Moth light) this film relates to my idea of the surface of the film and how through processing something interesting can occur.
