PAIN - Final Cut
Like I said last week, instead of creating a third sector partitioned into three segments for Healing, I decided to make it one clip with steadier, brighter and longer shots. The stability of the ending is supposed to symbolize the stability of being healed and de-framing the pain. I chose the hectic breakdown from The Great Destroyer because though it may not seem like a serene, healed soundtrack, it symbolizes how effortless and limitless being free of pain is.
The Healing poem is more of a prose poem; it's free-flowing and less structured compared to the first six poems. Since pain is a debilitating frame, its heft is represented by the structure of the first poems and the quicker cuts of the film.
Most of the footage is representative of the type of pain or healing that it accompanies. I tried to show running themes of the hospital and entrapment during the first six parts, while adding a few things in here and there (ex. the circular motion of the relationships part was supposed to symbolize how we'd go in circles arguing). Journeys were prevalent as well, with many being unending or having an ending that isn't desired (back to the hospital). Hope you enjoy!
