Assignment: General Goal: To explore and question the linear representation of the progression of time. Starting with a linear narrative students will quickly move to use basic AV editing techniques that will enable them to break the linearity of the original moving image piece(s) they created. Abrupt and progressive transformations, juxtaposition, superimposition, editing and addition of audio, split screen and other strategies will be demonstrated and explored.
Techniques: AV editing software skills using Premiere Pro, audio editing software skills using Audition, devising mapping/scoring system, aural/sound analysis.
I was developing the idea of the moment as an actual representation of time. We all live in one moment and the only measurement of time is the moment. Every single second every single move and decision is affected by the past, happening in the present, and will have it consequences in the future. That is what the first video is about. We experience all different kinds of emotions every second, but they all create a sequence in which your feelings and emotions are unpredictable. The video represents sort of a loop, and at the end of the video, I come back to the first scene to show that it was all just a moment of sinking and thinking about your life. It was just a moment of realization, the illusion.
Storyboard
The final piece of this project was inspired by the idea of the second project. I was continuing the theme of the moment, but this time I showed a more abstract vision of the moment. We never really think about how many thoughts do we have in a second. The speed of our minds is insane, and it is so natural that we do not pay attention to the flow of our thoughts. At least I don’t. Thoughts are changing so quickly, chaotically and at the same time naturally, and that is what I was trying to show in the video.
