keep calm and carry on

Taking my own advice to keep calm and carry on with the video started last week.

What does is say and what does it fail to say? Does speak of layering and landscapes.  Slips into boring in middle, maybe reduce time and edit some out. Definitely need to fade in/out to remove the people in sections of video. Why have the copper texture? making the layer more veiled and metallic, OK, but better without? try both and try reducing the effect with lower % opacity.

The idea behind it?  layers, textures, landscapes, impact, industrialisation, revealing, excavating.

Breakthrough after expressing ideas to Jeremy and direction gained after questions posed and work continued

  • what are you intending to convey - is it textural, a poetic shift from domestic? yes
  • what about sound, is it important? yes, have recorded machinery and natural sounds already, need to embed and also remove some of the original sound. Did source drill via Sound Bible and edited in Audacity, thanks for tip.  Have now extended that and using my own recorded audio, after adjusting them in Audacity , imported sounds into final cut pro project and will continue with this with the new sounds I recorded last week.  
  • Jeremy's visual diary notes expressed tracks building up, peaking, and lowering mimics what is happening with the number of tracks and the opacity;  already done.  Have extended  visual diary notation, it has resonated for me, and helped clarify what to work towards with the audio and visual tracks of the final cut project.
