24th of March: Tuesday Session
Above is the link to a short minute long preview of our main video production! For today’s lesson, Liam Cairns edited the footage we had taken the previous sunday, creating a short narrative of the second half of our video. I, meanwhile, decided to scout for a short piece of music to layer over the top of the footage, which itself will fit underneath the voice narrative. I bared in mind that we needed to find something inside the Public Domain to avoid breaking copyright law- this apparently was necessary! However, my search on the internet wasn’t producing results, strangely, and so i decided to search through the College library’s blues, jazz and classical section- figuring these recordings would be old enough to slip into public domain.
I picked up a compilation of the Italian film composer Ennio Morricone and a blues compilation of Robert Johnson songs. Amazingly, the blues music of Robert Johnson has a strange fit with our footage, and so we saved what we had done and aired the preview on Blip.TV. Amazingly, I think at least (!), the music soundtracks our footage fantastically- a rather strange contrast of Mississippi blues mixing with rural England!
At this stage, when we have much, much more to film, nothing is set, and so we could still change the soundtrack. However, we have at least recorded a preview of our progress this far.
