Today we were looking into Haiku poems, we were making Haiku films, the principle behind these films are that each paragraph in a poem have 3 lines and the first line has 5 syllable, the second line has 7 followed by the third also having 5 syllables. In our film every syllable has to be a second for example 5 second shot for the first shot, 7 for the next and 5 for the last, so basically you will end up with a 17 second film, with 3 different shots. The issue that we had was that we didn't want to fall in the trap of keeping the films to the poems to literal. so if we had a poem that had leaves in them we didn't want to have literally a shot of a leaf for 5 seconds, this gave us a chance to be creative.
After we understood what we had to do we searched the internet for Haiku poems, i couldn't decide on what poem i wanted to do so i printed out a few pages of them and then decided when we went out to film, this would allow us to see the sort of environment we are in to see what sort of poems are doable in our limited time and the environment we were working in.
These are the following poems we shot.....
We are as in autumn
On the branches
Leaves
Upon a naked branch
A raven came
Autumn dusk
We stand alone
Pieced by a ray of sun
and already it is dark
