Experimenting with ‘The Body’ and relating it to insects – small video clips

I have been developing my experimentation with other media styles, I have been particularly interested in the idea of creating short film clips. I was scrolling through videos on social media when I saw a video of a man creating mirror effects with his hands which formed into new shapes. I thought this was really interesting and wanted to find a way to try this technique myself. I have had a theme of ‘Uncomfort’ throughout my project and one of the topics has been relating ‘The Body’ to fears and phobias. One of the main ones I have explored is fear of insects (Entomophobia). I have previously created shapes with the body that show it morphing into insect shapes and I thought I could try this with moving image / film. To do this I found a mirror effect filter and experimented by using my hands to create insect like shapes. This technique is fairly simple to do however I feel it is really effective and the outcome is very interesting and there is something creepy / sinister about it.
