Development Blog Post 4-Unfamiliar Noticing

Throughout Wednesday of week 4, Andy and I began to edit our footage. The footage we had was relatively similar to the recipe in terms of the still and moving shots we wanted to get, as we followed people move and stayed still as people moved around us. What Andy and I did both notice was the movement of people in our different places, as in the city people are usually quick and ready to get somewhere fast, whereas in a market place, people usually have the time and leisure walk slow and browse. An aspect to the recipe was to capture anything each of us noticed, that stood out, and for both Andy and I after watching the footage back, I have realised that colours was something that both us of noticed. For me personally it was any bright colour, especially with food such as the oysters and the fruits and I noticed that for Andy, it was the colour Blue that captured his attention. I also noticed interesting wall art at the South Melbourne Market, and a young busker playing the piano.

On Wednesday, Andy and I played around with the idea of using the 4 second piano sound the busker made and using it with both my footage and his footage. I really liked the way the audio of the piano originally from the market was edited to be played over Andy’s footage of the CBD, as I realised audio can really combine two completely different places. Therefore during the editing we trialled what the piano sounds along with diegetic sound of the atmosphere from both locations would sound like in the video and I think it was successful. As our footage is similar in some ways, yet also relatively different, it is  important for our footage to be combined via audio in my opinion. I especially was drawn to editing with audio because of the idea of how audio can draw attention away from just what is being seen.
