Development Post #4
According to Matt Soar (2014), there are several functions that Korsakow enables.
- Firstly, spatial screens. Korsakow enables multiple screens. It also allows the combination of video and still images. They can be displayed on a screen at the same time.
- In our project, we have 5 videos with different genre of music and 1 video with original sound. Korsakow enables 6 videos shown on the screen at the same time with pictures as thumbnails. Hence, the viewers can click any one that they like to watch.
- Secondly, intimate, crafted and small-scale work. Korsakow is fragmented. In Korsakow, the user becomes the editor and centre of the work, which emphasis on experiences.
- As our project consists of 6 independent and individual videos, the fragmentation of Korsakow enables the display of 6 videos, instead of only 1 video made up of 6. Also, there is no order in terms of those 6 videos, the viewer can click whatever they like at first, are able to pause and think about the effects that the music brings to the video, subsequently, move on to the next video.
- Thirdly, multilinear narrative. Korsakow enables multiple linear storylines and multiple perceptions.
- The 6 videos in our project can be conceived as 6 different stories due to different feelings and moods resulted from the various background sound. Every viewer has their own understandings of those stories and relevant atmospheres.
- Lastly, algorithmic editing. There is no fixed part in Korsakow. It is connected by tagging, in and out key words.
- Our project in Korsakow will be linked by using the same key word, however, every video has only 1 live. The order of video will be determined by the user, which will generate a whole new story each time.
