My experiment videos:
The main concept of my very first experiment video (see pervious post)
is about the explosion within a container, it is kind of the concept of firework.
Several amount of oil drums and dynamites were placed in a container,
the aim of this video is investigated that
the result of the porosity and explosive direction of the fractional piecesafter explosion.
For pushing this experiment further,
the comparison of explosions
- between the oil drums in container and free standing on the ground
was made in the final video in terms of investigate that,
which placements of oil drums would reach the greater porosity after explosion.
In the final experimental video,
same amount of oil drums and dynamites were put in different position,
their fractional pieces have different porosity after explosion.
The fractional pieces of oil drums and dynamites which placed on the ground
were spurted out everywhere without a certain direction,
and their porosity is great.
In turns, the fractional pieces of explosive objects in container
were intensively popped up to the sky
and the porosity is less than the free standing one.
The result of this experiment is
the porosity would be greater if there are not obstacles near by the dynamites
during the explosion.
Moreover, the direction of exploded fractional pieces can be controlled
by putting explosive objects into a container,
that is what firework does.
The type of documentary:
As Bill Nichols described that Expository Documentary
is the expression of specific idea
basing on the interact of explication and image/video,
in terms of prevail with the audiences
to acknowledge the film maker’s view point.
In my final movie,
a clear concept of the experiment was established by
the explanatory statements and evidential video clips,
thereby it should belong to the Expository Documentary

Final experiment 1
Definition of porosity
Porosity could be defined as ‘density’ and ‘volume’;
in this experiment of explosion movie,
porosity can also be described as
'the density of fractional pieces of the explosive object/s after outburst.’
In the other words, an object being exploded
and its fractional pieces pop out because of the pressure;
the distance and density of each fractional piece called ‘porosity’.
The explosive object/s could be a single elements, numbers of elements,
or one element which formed by several individual elements.

From this movie,
we can see that the direction of the explosion
could be controlled by putting the dynamite into a container.
In this movie, since the container is spinning,
so the fractional pieces are falling from different directions
following the orientation of “exit” of the container.
This movie is kind of related to my first experimental movie,
as the dynamites are also put in a container,
and the fractional pieces are exploded to a certain direction.
The next step I would try to explode the oil drums on the ground,
rather than putting into a container,
and see the difference between both positions,
including which directions of fractional pieces will go,
and also figure out the relationship of porosity of them.
Task 1 movie clip 1 [EDITED]
This movie is the summation of the 3 movie clips that I created before,
through giving it a scenario,
adding the audio and sound effects,
edit out the clips,
finally it becomes a new and more reasonable story.
This movie could be kind of Expository Documentary,
as it tells the story through images/movies and words.
Moreover, it could be counted as Reflexive Documentary,
as the idea of this movie is about terrorist ,
which somehow can related to the issue of reality world.
