Tomorrow, I plan to go out for my first walk. I have been thinking a lot about how I want the piece to be composed as to be both understanding and appealing in the final video. I am really interested and inspired by Lee Walton's short videos, and easy composition. From a few of his videos is where I have started my thoughts.
The other day I took 2 test shots of how I thought I wanted the videos to appear. After testing them I think I have came up with the following decisions:
- have a short video for every new song I listen to. This will set up a new location and in a sense give the viewer a sense of walk duration
- When the song finally tells me to stop, i will stop within the frame. I don't think I will contunie walking like I did in my test shots.
At this point I am still unsure if this will work, but I will try it out tomorrow and take it from there.
I like the first videos composition more, however, I feel like a more straight on angle and wider view would like nicer. I don't think its necessary to take the ipod out, nor is it to keep walking.
Hi Michelle, I'm so glad to see you've done some tests, and you are using the blog to work things out. I appreciate so many of your posts of your work, and of others' works, it's a useful blog to read! Good work! Looking forward to more,
