Claire

Moving on from 'A day in the life of Claire' - I knew I wanted to film something that was a bit more individual.  From my trial films, I think the video of her leaving to go to band was most interesting.  I wanted to have her band (The Nonsense) in full set up (unlike the practise session I attended which was in a different location to usual), however over the past few weeks this was not possible, due to a variety of factors - illness, holiday, unable to get the practise room and Claire having other commitments.  I wanted to stick to the music element, as it is something that my sister is passionate about and very talented. 

I filmed a session of her practising in her room, and made it into a short film.  I started it using the morphed photographs as trialled in my previous film.  Ideally I would have liked to have her then leaving for band, and playing these 2 songs in full band set up however this was not possible.  
I would display these 2 films on different screens in the studio - ideally in the same room, both playing at exactly the same time, so that when people came across them they would think that they have already seen it - until they look a bit closer.  I like how the films leave a small element of mystery, tricking the viewer into wondering who is who.
