So what did I learn about filters?
Filters transform data.
Filters sorts or makes order of pattern.
Filters transform images in an unusual way.
Filters manipulate data.
In Telle-communication filters selectively sort signals
Filters are used to surpress noise or they separate signals
Filters give a particular effect used to apply to image.
Gelatin filters are used over the lens of a camera to absorb specific wavelengths of light.

What is a fliter? some definitions from the web
A program that accepts a certain type of data as input, transforms it in some manner, and then outputs the transformed data. For example, a program that sorts names is a filter because it accepts the names in unsorted order, sorts them, and then outputs the sorted names.Utilities that allow you to import or export data are also sometimes called filters.
A pattern through which data is passed. Only data that matches the pattern is allowed to pass through the filter.
In paint programs and image editors, a filter is an effect that can be applied to a bit map. Some filters mimic conventional photographic filters, but many transform images in unusual ways. A pointillism filter, for example, can make a digitized photograph look like a pointillistic painting.
Filters are applied to the information coming into your account, to manipulate the final data in order to provide accurate reports. These filters can be set up to exclude visits from particular IP addresses, to report only on a subdomain or directory, or to take dynamic page URLs and convert them into readable text strings.
In telecommunications, a filter is a device that selectively sorts signals and passes through a desired range of signals while suppressing the others. This kind of filter is used to suppress noise or to separate signals into bandwidth channels.
In Photoshop and other graphic applications, a filter is a particular effect that can be applied to an image or part of an image. Filters can be fairly simple effects used to mimic traditional photographic filters (which are pieces of colored glass or gelatine placed over the lens to absorb specific wavelengths of light) or they can be complex programs used to create painterly effects.

A Conversation between Jonas Mekas and Stan Brakhage
http://www.logosjournal.com/brakhage_mekas.htm
This is an interview I was reading between the two avant-garde film-makers, Jonas Mekas and Stan Brakhage.
A few things I found interesting about their conversation that they said 'sometimes you just have to go back to the essence of things, what really is cinema, painting, poetry...'
Another interesting thing Stan Brakhage said was that (and although this was obvious, I just thought it was a nice description) 'There are no two people on Earth who are alike. All their cells are unique as snowflakes.'
Jonas Mekas says 'The shape of my films emerges from the accumulation of the material itself. I am a filmer. I film real life'..... I found this interesting and relative to my own work because I would like to think that has been the case in some of my earlier photography work. I took photos of everyday life and people etc etc etc they may not mean much alone, but the accumulation of all the photos together gives them meaning, a shape of sorts.

Partially sighted
What would/does the world look like to someone that is partially sighted/blind?
I think this idea ties into my project very well and would definitely be a good idea to further investigate.
Recommendations
I have been reccommended some of these films to research for my project.
Perverts guide to cinema (vol 1-3)
'Personna' by Ingmar Burgman
'Dreams that money can buy' by Hans Richter
'Solaris' and 'Mirrors' by Tarkovsky.
The driving bell and the butterfly' by Julian Schnabel and Jean Dominique Bauby
'Playtime' by Jacques Tati
Also research more on Brakhage and others.
Ways of Achieving my ideas
A way of obscuring the image which I am interested in is using filters on the camera lens.
I would shoot film footage of all kinds while experimenting with different filters to see what effects I get and how this distorts the image.
I was also thinking that for the viewer, in order for them to interpret the image I would have to have some sort of natural soundtrack to help them determine the imagery.
I need to create and look out for all different types of filters, natural, man made, etc
