Does the video maintain continuity by editing for graphical and rhythmical relationships to create successful transitions among different image frames? Give examples of this using a minimum of 5 screen shots that move us from frame to frame. Provide a written description with consideration of at least 3 of the following:
- Color temperature(s) or degrees of black and white contrast
- Graphical layout and composition of frames (the 2D layout of the picture)
- Proximity (closeness of camera to subject)
- Pacing
- Repetition
- Synchronization or asynchronization with the rhythm of the soundtrack
This student maintains continuity within his video through successful graphical and rhythmical relationships and transitions. Below are six frames that exemplify graphical editing:
This section begins with this image which has strong verticals
Similar movement is continued in the next frame, although it is a different picture
In the previous frame, the verticals descended to the right, while this one descends to the left, although the verticals are continued.
The student repeats the second frame, with the verticals descending to the right again.
The last two frames are repeated from earlier, but continue to display graphical editing as the student kept the theme of verticals that looked similar with different images.
He also uses color repetition and contrast in these frames. The student begins with a rainbow of colours and then juxtaposes that image with monochromatic images.
Does the video include non-linear structures (i.e. structures other than linear narrative)? These might include acausal structure, list structure, and cyclical/circular structure? Please describe the structures within the video.
The student does use non-linear structure; his composition displays list structure [listing vertical images, listing circular images], and also cyclical structure [he begins and ends with the same images - the verticals].
Does the video modulate in pace so that it has sections of slow and fast time? Please describe this in terms of constancy and variation over the course of the entire work.
The image transitions shift from very quick to slow, depending on what part of the rhythm the student is deciding to focus on. This is an example of variation. He also shows variation with directional eye movement; the position of the pictures [mainly the circular ones] brings the viewers eye across the page in multiple directions. However, he shows constancy with the repetition of images and how he always goes back to the same pattern of images.
How does the artist break patterns to avoid monotony? Give an example.
The student breaks monotony in his video through the usage of both geometric, vertical pictures, with more organic curvilinear ones. He alternates them depending on the changes in the sound's rhythm, allowing for them to still work together and not make the piece too constant and expected.
