Integrated Media Week 11 Symposium Questions

When are the key considerations when constructing a multiliniear work?
-You need to leave open the invitation to explore.
-How the videos connect with one another to make sense
-The interface reflecting the work
-What videos you choose to include or not include (What not to show is often as important as what you choose to show)
-How you choose to ‘end’ it
-What platform you choose to portray the work. i.e Korsakow
-What are the different threads and what layers do you want to include
-How do you curate the direction of the work for the audience
-Is it open for interpretation or does it have a beginning, middle and end?
-Spacial Montage
-How you choose to index the key words
-Regularity, thinking about fragments of the individual clips. What are their clip lengths, do they relate to one another in design?
