All my pieces are edited together now, I’ve settled on the first idea of just using the best 6 and I think it comes together to form a really strong experience. At first I experimented with editing them together into one single longer video, but I thought that it was lacking something so I scrapped that idea pretty early on and went with the separate videos.
I’m trying out korsakow at the moment, but I’m really struggling with getting it to function exactly how I had envisioned. Im contemplating maybe exporting these videos to youtube and hosting them online somewhere, though I really like the idea that Korsakow presents in terms of having an interactive experience.
The edits themselves are similar. Pacing is the throughline that binds all 6 pieces together. The light movements are timed with audio cues, and though the audio cues themselves are different in each video (music, diegetic sounds etc) they are reminiscent of each other in a way that I think builds the clips together into a cohesive experience, rather than just 6 separate short films. This was definitely something I was worried about when I first started editing, I didn’t want this to feel like 6 random videos thrown together into one piece. I wanted this to feel like a complete experience for the audience that makes them really question how and why they notice.
