In this film of the empty platform at Tufnell Park tube station I juxtaposed visual film which combined moving and static images with the sound of a train passing through. I was able to capture subtle changes to the space and movement caused by air flow. At points it is unclear whether the image is video or still, which I feel adds to the effect.
The camera was static, but film was taken from two different viewpoints and cut together. I was led by the soundtrack and cut the video at points which corresponded to sharp noises in the audio. This, along with the static viewpoints and grayscale tone aims to give the impression that the space is being viewed remotely and could be completely deserted. I think this absence of people is the key to the film's affecttvity - the setting of an underground station is expected to be full of people. Furthermore, the prominence of the sound of machinery indicates the presence of human intention/operation and highlights the lack of human noises which usually mask it.
