Making my Scratch-Film: "I'm Sorry I Strangled You That Day and Burnt Your Bed; I loved You More Then"

I have completed my scratch-film which took me about 4 hours to make in total. I am looking to have about a minute of footage overall, that will be looped when it's being played on the screen. To make the film, I used marker pens to create random lines and marks, along with the use of text. By doing this, I hope to create a variety of rhythm and broken sequence between the marks and words.

The text I have used has evolved from the 'sketch-book' work I have continuously been producing over the year, with subjects of love and relationships, and the emotion that comes with it- whilst using text in a blunt way- from a woman's point of view. The piece of text I have chosen to use in my film is: "I'm Sorry I Strangled You That Day and Burnt Your Bed; I Loved You More Then".

I also made a shorter, experimental film, that will last probably about 20 seconds long. I only used marks this time because I wanted to see if it would fit with the sound piece I made ('Untitled' (It's The Only Thing I Want) ), and text would distract too much from this and would clash. 

I was hoping to have my film ready by the end of this week, but unfortunately, Brian can't project it until Tuesday, next week. Over the weekend, I may collect more sound to make another piece using more simplified sounds that should compliment the shorter film.
