Home Is Where Your Heart Lives- Rehana Nazli

Home is not an ideal place

Home is based on realities

Home is where your love grows

Home is where you scream and fight

Home is where you live in peace

Home is where you feel belong

Home is also a shared space

Home is where we feel safe

Home is where you smell the rain

Home is where the sun shines

Home is where we bear the pain

Home is place for hide and seek

Home is where you fly kites

Home is where you play with dolls

‘There is no place like home’.

Poems I Have Looked At

Sylvia Plath- Balloons

Since Christmas they have lived with us,

Guileless and clear,

Oval soul-animals,

Taking up half the space,

Moving and rubbing on the silk

Invisible air drifts,

Giving a shriek and pop

When attacked, then scooting to rest, barely trembling.

Yellow cathead, blue fish ----

Such queer moons we live with

Instead of dead furniture!

Straw mats, white walls

And these traveling

Globes of thin air, red, green,

Delighting

The heart like wishes or free

Peacocks blessing

Old ground with a feather

Beaten in starry metals.

Your small

Brother is making

His balloon squeak like a cat.

Seeming to see

A funny pink world he might eat on the other side of it,

He bites,

Then sits

Back, fat jug

Contemplating a world clear as water.

A red

Shred in his little fist.

Robert Frost- Nothing Gold Can Stay


Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
And dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Sample Title For 'Balloons' by Sylvia Plath

Evaluation

I feel that this project has gone well, however in the future I will concentrate on stills photography rather than moving image. I feel that the section of the film using toast and alphabet spaghetti works the best as The contrast between textures and colours really makes the lettering stand out from the toast. If I were to develop this project further, I would look into using household objects to spell out famous quotes and photograph them. This project has been a challenge, because I have little experience of creating a moving image piece, however I feel that it has been overall a success. If I did the project again, I would look into using a variety of household objects and develop these ideas into the final outcome.
