Week End (mise-en-scène) is a triptych of images generated using scenes from Godard’s film Week End. Each image was created through an accumulation of colors from frames of the film, where each point in the final image shows the average color value for that point over the course of the set of frames.
The first image was made using frames from the “Analysis” scene, in which one of the main characters, Corinne, wearing only bra and panties, retells a story of a sexual encounter while siting on a desk talking to an unnamed fully clothed man.
The second image combines every frame of title text and the interstitial text used to cut the narrative.
The third image was created from the frames of the famous traffic scene, a single long tracking shot depicting a traffic jam punctuated by a horrible accident.
