Site observation: sketch + interview

 

 

 

As a group, we chose Green-Wood Cemetery as our site observation.

1. The reason we choose this location is that we want a place that is an open area. A place that has no restriction, free air and close to nature. The cemetery is the perfect place that suits all of our expectations.
2. The Green-Wood Cemetery is located in Kings County, New York. It was founded in 1838.
3. What is our “object”? — In the seminar class, we chose the dried leaf as our narrator.
4. It is positioned as the dried life in the cemetery, we wanna give the viewer a new perspective of experiencing the life cycle. So as the weather changed, the dried leaf experienced different temperature from the outside world.
5. We also depicted the details of the sounds that have been surrounded it for a long time, we wanna to bring the similar atmosphere that the souls beneath the gravestones would also experience.
6. Besides the dried leaf, we will also film the gravestones, the church and the lake in the cemetery to build up the solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
