APPROPRIATING FOUND FOOTAGE

POSTPONED UNTILL THE LAB GETS FIXED (Have a good weekend)
You assignment that we will begin in class is to use these videos below to create a 2min video. Focus on the emotion/expressions of different clips. Contrast them with other clips. Work on different types of flow. Show a shot for 10 sec. and then have several only 1 sec. clips afterwords. Don't be afraid to experiment and play with looping or repeating clips, speed variations, and whatever else comes to you. The most important thing is to create a video that has your hand in it. See if you can twist and turn the found footage to say something new. Think of these as 7 random objects/videos. Create a story or an experience that is your own individual way of organizing this material. Next class we will compare and contrast the ways in which everyone organized the footage.
