We had to produce some furious footage. This concept originated in the 1980's and consists of footage found and cut into sequence. This was used to make a statement, in many cases political. Our production had to be from 30 seconds to 1 minute long, and must ensure that it was not discriminative in any way. The aim of the project was to make a statement without spelling it out.
During our project, we took all of the footage from YouTube. We originated with the idea of Anxiety in Public Speaking, but this proved hard to find a decent amount of footage for. We thought for about half an hour after, and settled with terrorism. We were sure to find at least 1 minute of footage regarding this.
I am really pleased with how our final production was completed. I felt like it gave a real indirect insight as to how terrorism has affected every single person around the world. Myself and Scott had found the worst quality footage we could find, as we were informed by our tutor that the worse the quality, the better.
We ensured that the clips were short and sweet to keep the viewer on edge and enthusiastic about the topic. I have shown it to a number of my friends and members of my family and they have all said they really enjoyed the concept and editorial side of the production. I thought this was quite a relaxed type of project to complete, and really enjoyed the down time of sitting at a computer. I'm so used to running around with cameras and things these days, it was nice to do a quick fire production which involved nothing but YouTube and Adobe Premier Pro.
Cheerio. :o)
