Latest on the Video



Today we were in the Mac Lab trying to add more sounds to the piece. After watching it over and over AND OVER we decided some bits really didn't fit in to what we wanted and today we have cut the end off the video. We will be adding more footage into it but Carol needs to re-film some certain footage which we wish to end with.
This also gives us the weekend to figure out if anything else needs chopping or changing around.
We successfully managed to get my piano music onto the piece which is good. There is a lot of piano track on this piece but I think they fit in really well and create this atmospheric aura about the piece.
While we were in today I was looking at the wall where we had posted our research from the previous lesson with Kit and comparing some of the video pieces to what we have made. Ours seems really structured and defined and has more of a continuous narrative throughout the piece, whereas some of the video artist's pieces are somewhat abstract and left to the imagination.
I guess this doesn't really matter though, as what is art? What constitutes to art? Surely as these pieces have been made to be projected in a gallery situation?
Hopefully no one can argue that we have produced isn't art, they can question our intentions and motives, but I am confident that we can jusity our piece when we have to give the presentation.
