Relations, relations. They’re like family, you don’t get to choose them.

The theme of the semester is ‘relation’, as in relations and the relational. The first constrained task, which really consisted of two constrained tasks, square and round is primarily about composition and so is shape as a relation.

The second task, was light. Video and cinema is, at heart, about a relation to light (of a chemical surface that responds to light, or a CCD that is also built to respond to light).

The third task is about speed. What relations of speed are available available?

Speed

NOTE: for all of these the camera should be static.

• Make one six to ten second clip that is a single take about something slow
• Make one six to ten second clip that is is several shots about something slow
• Make one six to ten second clip that is a single take about something fast
• Make one six to ten second clip that is several shots about something fast

Technical

• each clip should be six to ten seconds in length (if you use Vine they will be six)
• editing can be done in camera, or after
• the video needs to be published into your blog (you can use vimeo, blip.tv, or embed them yourselves)
• there should be one video clip per blog post
• the source media needs to be available as H.264 video

Things to consider
A cliche is fast cutting = speed and slow cutting = slow. But can they be mixed? Why? Why not?
