Response To a Scene from, 'The Medium'

Response To a Scene from, 'The Medium'

I was playing the video game, ‘The Medium’ when I came across a scene featuring a bedroom. Since I was a teenager, I’ve struggled to get to grips with what a bedroom is. It’s something I’ve struggled to explain in words. So I made a video combining a screenshot from the film, ‘Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)’ and the video game with the audio from the Konami logo from the PlayStation One Game, ‘Metal Gear Solid’.

Response To Discovering A Song

Response To Discovering A Song

I was searching YouTube for music when I stumbled upon a song titled, ‘Something Ain’t Right’ by Whisky Neat. I had it playing in the background whilst busy with something else, when I suddenly stopped and found myself paying attention to it. I found myself fascinated by this song, as it reminded me of the time I once ran away from school when I was about 10 years old. Although it’s an experience I have fond memories of (which I know might seem strange), as an adult reflecting on that experience I look at it very differently.

I wanted to use this song to create something that I felt would reflect some of this. After searching around, I found a film called, ‘Little Boy Lost’ (1978).

“The True story of Stephen Walls, a young Australian farm boy, whose disappearance galvanized a continent into action. Taught to be wary of strangers, the boy cannot know that the boisterous hordes of volunteers are his saviours and not his enemies. After four tense days, hopes wanes. At last, a group of searchers spot the young Stephen, and its members are able to convince him that they want to help him reach home and family.”

After watching this film, I decided to edit some of the scenes together with this song to create something that I felt was reflective of my feelings regarding some of my experiences in childhood.

There are a lot of places where I have specific memories of standing somewhere whilst listening to music. It’s always interested me as to why this is. As if I can stand in the exact place where I had a moment of self awareness, as if suddenly waking up from a dream and suddenly in that moment, realising where I am, what I’m doing and what I’m feeling.
