What affects would choreography have on my images?
Perhaps more gestural and chaotic images would appear from directing my subjects. However, I am not a director. I honestly don't feel like I know what's going to look best in the end. If I did know how to direct... me telling the subjects what to do with their own self and also telling them what to do with the animal could really create disorder. However, I do not want to dictate so much that its unnatural for them. I still want their reality of everyday life to appear. I don't want my subjects to feel so out of place and unusual that it becomes uncomfortable and artificial.
(How much choreographing did Bel do? I know he chose dancers and non dancers. But did he tell them what to do and how to dance and when to dance? OR was that left up to the dancers? Which segments did he direct? How much control did he utilize?)
Can you redefine the decisive moment? How predictable is the decisive moment?
Because animals are so unpredictable I think any moment cold be expected. Chaos isn't surprising when it comes to animals. To a certain extent they cannot be controlled. Perhaps the decisive moment could then become the moment when everything falls apart and the pet owner loses control over the animal. But if that is the decisive moment, will that represent the idea I am trying to get across in my statement?
Sonali doesn't feel that the questions I raise in my statement are reflected in my images. That's a big problem. A problem that I don't know how to fix just yet.
