Breaking down the Senses Part I: VISUAL PERCEPTION

5. Mr. Seymour hints that we consider things beautiful that are “stupefyingly difficult” or even painful to do. Provide an example.

 

As people, we seek perfection which is nearly impossible to achieve. Several examples of things made to be beautiful through difficult perfection include pictures of models, sleek car designs, macbooks, high quality cell phones, and home design.

Perception of Parkour

For this TOK project, Vitor, Joey, Brandon, and me decided to make a video about the perception of parkour. We tried to use video retiming, such as slow motion to show the motion senses the actors were experiencing while performing stunts. It can be very difficult to invoke this kind of sense perception in a viewer from only a video. I feel that we did an adequate job taking the 30 minute filming time limit into account.
