CCTV: Up Close & Personal


This is a short film examining one minute if the 'life' of a CCTV camera situated in Pittodrie Stadium, here in Aberdeen. Well, actually, it's placed on a wall and it spends most of its time looking outwards, so 'inside' is perhaps the wrong word to use. The film has been taken from footage shot with a SONY HD digital video camera on Tuesday February 17, 2009. Most of the sounds are diegetic but some sounds have been sourced from elsewhere. Our task has been to film one specific place in the city, from eight different perspectives (each lasting one minute), with no movement. This one may, or may not, make the 'final cut' but I liked the idea of the CCTV camera (as we've been looking at surveillance this week) looking on in the dark at nothing while thousands of people roar and cheer but metres away in the bright light of the floodlit stadium.
