Exercise09> Place in time due>11/25/08 before class Goal>To use video to document a place. In this exercise a time-based medium will be used to represent a time-based condition: perception. Video (and film) allow for the scaling and editing of time in non-linear fashion. Place will be represented here in a compressed format, forcing the “speeding-up” of representation of time within a 30-second constraint (a duration we are highly accustomed to for television commercials). The result of this exercise will be used as the canvas for the final project of the course. Selection, recording and editing for this project will all be shared by a small group of students. The final project will be an individual endeavor. Product> First, meet with your group to discuss options for place selection. Make a long list of options based on accessibility, dynamics of the place (does it change over the course of a day? hours? a week? weather?), cultural / personal value, or history. There are no rules for selection and recording of place except that no laws may be broken during recording. Narrow the field and eventually settle on one place (vote, if necessary). Record using a video camera (or time-lapse still camera) the place over time. Utilize the varying schedules of the group to share this responsibility. Record from more than one angle. Work as a group then to decide how much time needs to be represented over the 30 seconds limit. Time might not need to be represented in a continuous fashion. Capture video then edit speed, lengths and size of clips in Final Cut software. Each group will post one 30-second video on the course blog. Limit the size of the clip to be less than 10MB.
