Expression Theory (Tolstoy)
Tolstoy identifies the impression of art—namely, “infection”—as a key condition of good art. Infection means that the artist conveys emotions directly experienced through their work, allowing the audience to empathize by feeling the artist’s emotions and internalizing them. This proper emotion, evoked through infection, fosters a unified feeling that forms the basis of fraternity, which…

Mimesis Theory (Aristotle)
Aristotle states that what matters most in literature is the very pleasure derived from the nature of imitation. “First, people are naturally inclined to imitate from childhood. Second, everyone takes pleasure in imitations.” – Poetics As seen here, he connects the creative act of poetry to the instinctive human impulse to imitate and the universal…

I began by watching the rough cut all the way through, checking for any issues in the video, and determining where the sound should fade out. Through this self-feedback process, I continued…

I added both the originally recorded footsteps and the ADR footsteps to match the visuals, and I also restructured the sequence of shots for a more natural flow. One of the most difficult parts was syncing the footsteps with the video. Since I was using contact…

Production(1)
Since I had completed most of the preliminary experimentation, I proceeded with filming alongside a friend who agreed to help. I attached the recorder to the shoe by threading it through my trousers, then taped the recorder cable to my calf to prevent it from getting tangled while walking. To approach participants, I used the…

Rope Ready
The rope arrived today, and I cut it to an appropriate length and tied loop-shaped knots so it can be easily worn. I estimated the distance between each loop — that is, the distance between two people — to be about 150 cm, and cut the rope accordingly, leaving extra length for making the loops.…
