Assignment #5 Video Reenactment and Viewing

VIDEO ART





Visit the website ubuweb and explore the many experimental films and videos available on the site: http://www.ubu.com/film/

Choose a video/film of your liking. Shoot and edit your own version of the chosen video/film. You may preserve the soundtrack from the original source to be added to your video creation or make your own. This is an interpretive experiment. Be creative in how you approach this project! You are expected to attempt to recreate or copy the point of view, camera angles, timing, subject matter and such of your original or creatively re-interpret. Your video creation should somehow reflect your chosen work. There are many hundreds of choices on this site - take some time to explore these many varied historical and contemporary works and have fun!

Minimum length is 45 seconds. (you may choose to part of a larger work for example - some of these run longer than 15 minutes, redo at minimum 30 seconds).

In our critique we will be viewing your original source video and your reenactment, please be sure BOTH works are accessible through your blog post!

Equipment and techniques. You may use the canon 7D or anything from a cell phone video camera, laptop webcam to a high end HD camcorder. Use Final Cut Pro to edit your work.


Your video is due, posted to your blog (embed through Youtube or Vimeo) by the start of class time Tuesday, June 26.
