I wasn’t here for the filming of the video thing so I used footage from other people’s folders, Axle’s and Georgina(?)’s. The sound was my own though, other than the music that was sourced from freemusicarchive.org by the artist Podington Bear.

The shots were quite random and unrelated, which I liked but I wanted to create some kind of unity. I used colours and split toning in order to create a consistent theme and slowed certain shots down and sped others up in order to create a sense of rhythm.

The colours were originally quite dull and the shots were quite boring. I used the three-way colour corrector to adjust the darker colours and lighter colours. I swapped the original colours for really intense hues, sometimes mismatching colours in the same shots. I also threw in a couple of black and white shots in order to shake up the theme and show what the shots looked like without that intense colouring.

I layered four different snippets from the audio that we took. I took the samples that sounded the most interesting and were moving, rather than static sounds. One track that was very much atmospheric dialogue sounds coming from multiple directions, I slowed it down and lowered the volume to create an interesting and unidentifiable track underlying everything else. Above that I layered the moving sounds. I made sure that the more interesting sounds were laid on the transitions in visual shots. This made everything less random and made everything make more sense.

I sped up and spliced the footage of the tram in order to create a continuation of the visuals, as well as a beginning and an end. Everything happens within the coming and going of the tram. This hopefully highlights the movement and passing of time, which are characteristics of all of the clips that I used both in large and small dynamics.
