Filming

I had difficulties coming up with what to film in advance as I needed my shots to be very abstract and hardly recognisable. I decided the best thing to do would be to go out and film various things and see how they work when they have been zoomed in on and cropped in final cut.
I started filming my cactus plant as it had many textures and shapes, I did a few different shots, panning up and down the plant, side to side, the small pebbles being pushed across the screen and I also filmed water running down the side of the plant as well as zooming in to look at the sand absorbing the water, this last idea of the sand absorbing the water came from one of the clips in the Dexter video I previously posted where he had a piece of tissue that was absorbing blood as you can see below. 

The next thing I filmed was me cutting into foods like tomatoes and an egg, again for this the idea came from the general theme of Dexter's opening titles as he shows a lot of foods being cut and made to look different as we see them everyday, also in keeping with this idea I filmed a pan of boiling baked beans as this gave a nice bubbly, boiling look which I can use.

Another thing I filmed was a shot glass of vinegar and to this I added  bicarbonate of soda to make it fizz and bubble over, this so far is my favourite clip as it has a lot of texture I can use. 

Coming away from the food theme I have also shot some close ups of some ribbon, a head massager and the light shining from a magnifying glass to give an interesting pattern which can be used under my text. 

Here are some stills of my clips,
